Of course. If there's no literature that meets the filing requirements, you can choose to either conduct a clinical trial or pause development. If you decide on a clinical trial, we can continue the work seamlessly — so previous meetings and research won't go to waste. It's an efficient approach.
Similarly, we offer flexible support across every stage of Functional Food development to match your needs: filing only (when you've already received an SR from your raw material supplier), SR production only (when you can handle filing yourself), SR scrutiny only, clinical trial protocol scrutiny only, sales LP production only after acceptance, repeat-purchase strategy only, and more.

Thanks to our long history of patient acquisition support for medical institutions, we can deliver one-stop support for medical partnerships — including not only clinical trials but also Ethics Committee review and physician supervision. In addition, our president also serves as Representative Director of the Japan Food Evidence Association (general incorporated association), enabling us to address a wide range of needs, such as hosting Ethics Committee sessions and providing third-party SR review.

Beyond development, we expand our services to meet every need of companies entering the Functional Food market — including marketing support via "Efma," our specialty Foods with Health Claims e-commerce site, and repeat-purchase strategies via "Mind Circuit," the health habit tool that earned high praise at Osaka-Kansai Expo.

Unless the functional ingredient has an unusually large number of qualifying papers, we can typically complete an SR in about 2-3 months. If you're in a hurry, we may be able to expedite — please feel free to inquire.

Of course we will. For projects in which we produced the SR, we will respond as many times as needed until your filing is accepted — or until you decide to pause development.
