In recent years, changes in the social environment leading to the emergence of new health-consciousness and increased interest in managing physical condition have fueled expansion of the market for products related to conditioning support. Among such products, it has been reported that ongoing consumption of lactic acid bacteria, which is closely related to digestive functions, helps to support maintenance of physical condition.

Products under the BODYMAINTÉ brand contain lactic acid bacterium B240 to support day-to-day conditioning. New B240 Tablets are small, easy-to-swallow tablets conceived to encourage ongoing consumption of this same lactic acid bacteria. The new tablets offer strong support for those who wish to maintain physical condition amidst the many health-related risks of modern society.
