1. Multivitamin by DHC
DHC is perhaps the most famous supplement manufacturer in Japan, and its multivitamin, which is reasonably priced, is extremely popular among the Japanese and foreigners. The multivitamin is available in several different packaging sizes, and the 60-day package costs for less than 1,000 yen. Another reason why DHC’s multivitamin is popular is because of the dose you need to take daily. Unlike other supplements, DHC’s multivitamin only requires a single dose, one gel capsule per day.
2. Inochi no Haha White
Inochi no Haha White is an herbal supplement for females that lightens the premenstrual and postmenstrual syndromes, which can be painful for some women. The supplement also regulates and balances your hormones, supporting and promoting a healthy reproductive system, which is important for females. If you are struggling with severe period symptoms, or having an unstable period cycle, taking this supplement might help.
3. DHA by Dear-Natura Style
Dear-Natura Style is a supplement brand of Asahi, a globally known Japanese drink manufacturer. Mainly known for its high quality daily supplements, Dear-Natura’s DHA supplement is perhaps the best one to purchase in Japan. Unlike other DHA supplements, the size of the gel capsules is relatively smaller, and contains higher amounts of DHA and EPA, which are necessary for us to maintain a healthy brain and lower your cholesterol.
4. Otona no Calolimit by FANCL
Otona no Calolimit by FANCL is perhaps one of the reasons why Japanese people can maintain a small figure although they eat a lot. Otona no Calolimit is a fat-blocking supplement that reduces the amount of fat absorbed by your body when eating, and helps your body to process the carbohydrates faster so they won’t be stored as fat.
5. Hepalyse HP by Zeria
Hepalyse HP is a supplement that nourishes your liver, maintaining the liver function, and preventing your body from getting sick when you overwork or drink too much. Hepalyse HP is extremely popular in Japan, particularly because the drinking and work culture in Japan can be unhealthy, especially since most occasions involve drinking alcohol, and also the amount of overtime done by the Japanese is on another level. The supplement is a little bit expensive compared to others, but the benefits you get from consuming this supplement are priceless.
6. The Collagen EXR by Shiseido
Collagen is one of the most important nutritions in anti-aging, as it promotes skin elasticity and moisturizes your skin. The Collagen EXR is a beauty supplement developed by Shiseido, a global Japanese cosmetics company known for its amazing cosmetics and skincare lineups. If you think that your daily skin care regimens are not enough, you might want to take this oral supplement to nourish your skin even more.
