The hard capsules are elongated shapes with powder inside. The expiration date/ shelf life is 3 years from the date of manufacture.

Take 2 capsules per day with water without chewing. We have not heard of any difference in effect by the way it is consumed. Some people take in the morning to avoid forgetting to take it, and others have mentioned that taking before bed helps them wake up fresh in the morning. If you have trouble sleeping, please try taking try taking before going to bed.

It is up to the customer to adjust the amount, but depending on the individual,  it may be better to take slightly more than recommended. Please continue with the recommended 2 capsules a day as a guide.

Please take with water without chewing. If it is hard to swallow, it is okay to ingest without the capsule.

We do not recommend mixing with other products since the capsules are in their most effective state as is, but if it is difficult to swallow and you would like to mix with other products to swallow with ease, please mix and completely consume immediately.

① Unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and EPA are bound to plasmalogen derived from scallops. DHA which is abundant in the brain, are bound more than chickens and sea squirts. ② Also, there are two types of plasmalogen, and the plasmalogen derived from scallops is characterized by containing a large amount of ethanolamine type, which is abundantly contained in the human brain. With the above reasons, it is thought to be effective.

Please see ①② above. Currently, only scallop-derived plasmalogen has been shown to improve dementia. In March 2017, the results were published in EBioMedicine, the sister paper of The Lancet, which is one of the world’s top 5 major medical journals, after that, the improvement effect in mild cognitive impairment was also featured in another overseas journal. Dr. Takehiko Fujino, professor emeritus at Kyushu University, serves as a director of The Japanese Plasmalogen Society, which leads these clinical trials, and our products have been certified by the society.

The Japanese Plasmalogen Society consists of researchers from universities and private research institutes, and this product has been certified by the research society. If you would like more information regarding the research, please search for “plasmalogen society” and visit their homepage/website.

Even if large amounts of raw scallops are consumed, it is difficult to extract Plasmalogen from the gastrointestinal tract, and it is not possible to increase the concentration in the blood. It is believed that the ingestion effect (blood concentration increase) first appears when the plasmalogen, which is obtained through special extraction, is orally ingested.

Brain fatigue is caused by oxidation of brain nerve cells due to daily stress. Plasmalogen stops this. By acting as a substitute and taking on the oxidation, it protects the brain cells. The more stress you have, the more consumption of plasmalogen, and the less plasmalogen in your brain, the more likely you are to suffer from brain fatigue.

Regardless of age, we recommend this to everyone, including those who are stressful and busy, and those who have brain fatigue.

Store away from direct sunlight and avoid high temperatures and humidity.

Plasmalogen is found especially abundant in brain nerve cells,  but it is a substance found in all tissue. It is an extremely important substance for sustaining life, since cells will not function normally if it is deficient. Other than patients with dementia, we also have expectations for customers with depression, sleep disorders, and metabolic syndrome. 

There are individual differences in bodily sensations. There are people that feel the change in a few days, while there are others that feel the change after 3 to 6 months.
