Thank you for your continued patronage of Abe Yoando Pharmaceuticals.

We are pleased to announce that Abe Yoando Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. will challenge the Elixir of Life Technology Competition " X Prize HealthSpan " with Dr. Motonori Hayano, specially appointed lecturer at Keio University School of Medicine, as a supporter.

Abe Yoando Pharmaceuticals' goal is to rejuvenate the body.

AS A PIONEER OF NMN (NICOTINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE), A REJUVENATING INGREDIENT THAT HAS BEEN ATTRACTING ATTENTION IN RECENT YEARS, ABE YOANDO PHARMACEUTICAL IS DEVELOPING ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS CENTERED ON NMN.

THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO NOT ONLY HALT BUT ALSO REVERSE THE AGING PROCESS BY COMBINING NMN WITH MULTIPLE LOW-MOLECULAR COMPONENTS.

IN PARTICULAR, IT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE REDUCTION OF GENETIC INSTABILITY BY REPAIRING CELLS DAMAGED BY AGING AND PROMOTING THE REPAIR OF DNA DAMAGE, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY CONDUCTING DEMONSTRATION EXPERIMENTS.
