Scientific Advisory Board
Our company was established in 1974, and since then, we have been deeply committed to research in core technologies, including lactic acid bacteria and fermented plant extracts for many years, and have built a solid body of scientific evidence supporting our technologies and products. A defining feature of our proprietary fermented plant extracts is that they contain four components: "prebiotics," "probiotics," "postbiotics," and "paraprobiotics." and today, our products are trusted by customers in over 35 countries.
With our strong foundation of experience and achievements, we are committed to accelerating the development of new applications and expanding into new markets. Although the areas of expertise vary, we believe that receiving technical and specialized advice from university professors and experts, who possess in-depth academic knowledge, foresight and insight, and utilizing that advice effectively in our future research and development, is essential for achieving further growth and advancement. Therefore, we have decided to establish a Scientific Advisory Board (hereafter referred to as the SAB).
The SAB is our academic advisory panel, composed of experts who are at the forefront of Japan's academic community, all of whom have a strong interest in our fermentation technology and share the long-term vision of the Niitaka Group, "Supporting the World Shine - Clean, Beautiful, and Sustainable"
Taking the establishment of SAB as an opportunity, we will continue to "Support the World Shine" by applying our fermentation technology and providing reliable information and better products backed by the quality and quantity of evidence.
