New and Improved Calorie Mate JELLY
Enhanced Taste and Balanced Nutrition, Now Even More Accessible
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) will launch a renewed version of its nutritionally balanced food Calorie Mate JELLY on March 16. The product provides the five essential nutrients the body needs, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, in a convenient, easy-to-consume form. The refreshed line-up features three flavors, Apple, Grapefruit, and Yogurt, each with a light, smooth texture that is easy to drink. The packaging has also been redesigned. As dietary lifestyles continue to diversify, Calorie Mate JERRY supports positive daily activity in a wide range of situations, including before or after exercise, during busy moments, or when appetite is low. As an accessible, everyday source of balanced nutrition, it helps to support healthier living.

While retaining its key features, a smooth, easy‑to‑drink jelly that provides a well‑balanced mix of the five major nutrients, the product has been further refined to deliver even better taste. In addition to the popular Apple flavor, known for its natural sweetness reminiscent of grated apple and its gentle mouthfeel, the renewed lineup now includes two new flavors: Grapefruit, offering a refreshing acidity and depth; and Yogurt, featuring moderate sweetness and a pleasantly refreshing aftertaste. The packaging has also been redesigned so that each flavor can be recognized at a glance. Through these improvements, the renewed Calorie Mate JELLY aims to become an easy, everyday choice, an accessible nutritionally balanced food that fits naturally into daily eating habits.
