Kiwi Extract "Kipofen (R)" [Functional Food Labeling Compliant]

Raw material GMP and ISO 22000 compliant / Domestic evidence for "improvement of weight, body fat, waist, and BMI."

Kiwi fruit is known for being rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, but it contains only about 0.3% polyphenols. Our company has clarified that this rare polyphenol, "kiwi-derived procyanidin," has an inhibitory effect on lipid-degrading enzymes (lipase) and has developed it as a functional food ingredient. This product is manufactured at our factory in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture (which has obtained raw material GMP (JIHFS) and ISO 22000:2018 (SGS) certification). In domestic clinical trials, a suppression of postprandial blood triglyceride levels has been observed, and this effect size corresponds to the inhibition of absorption equivalent to 15g of lipids. KipoFen is recommended for supporting body fat and BMI management across a wide range of ages, as it can suppress lipid absorption while prioritizing the enjoyment of everyday eating rather than merely aiming for weight loss. [Example of Functional Claims] This product contains kiwi-derived procyanidin. Kiwi-derived procyanidin has been reported to support weight loss in individuals with a higher BMI by suppressing lipid absorption, reducing body fat and abdominal circumference, and improving elevated BMI.
