Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan; President: Tatsuo Higuchi) has announced the introduction of BODYMAINTÉ Jelly, a conditioning food to support athletic performance. The new brand will be launched on April 17, 2017, and will be available through the 'otsuka-plus1.com' online store and other channels.
Athletes who pursue rigorous training regimens may be at risk of illness due to lowered immunity, leading to concerns about appropriate volume and intensity of conditioning in preparation for competition*3. Aware of these and other concerns about athlete's physical condition, Otsuka Pharmaceutical developed new BODYMAINTÉ Jelly, formulated with lactic acid bacterium B240 (a strain licensed to Otsuka Pharmaceutical), BCAA + arginine, and whey protein. Contributing to maintenance of optimum physical condition and recovery from exercise stress, BODYMAINTÉ Jelly supports conditioning for maximum performance.
