EQUELLE: Supplies equol, a source of power for a beautiful life

Soy isoflavones are generally known to bring many health benefits to women. Recent research has focused on equol, produced when daidzein, a component of soy isoflavones, is metabolized by intestinal bacteria. Equol has been found to have a more powerful effect than crude soy isoflavones. From among the intestinal bacteria that contribute to equol production, Otsuka Pharmaceutical became the first in the world to identify lactic acid bacteria that could be used in food products. Following rigorous verification of safety and efficacy, EQUELLE was launched as an equol supplement backed by scientific evidence derived from pharmaceutical research. EQUELLE is a new product that contributes to maintaining and enhancing women’s health, helping them lead vital and energetic lives.
