About the EQUELLE series

Soy isoflavones are generally known to bring many health benefits to women. Recent research has focused on equol, produced when daidzein, a component of soy isoflavones, is metabolized by intestinal bacteria. Equol has been found to have a more powerful effect than crude soy isoflavones. From among the intestinal bacteria that contribute to equol production, Otsuka Pharmaceutical became the first in the world^* to identify lactic acid bacteria that could be used in food products. Following rigorous verification of safety and efficacy, EQUELLE was launched as an equol supplement backed by scientific evidence derived from pharmaceutical research. In addition to soy-derived equol, EQUELLE gelée all-in-one jelly beverage contains vitamin D, collagen, calcium and other vital ingredients in a single pouch. Supporting the fundamentals of women’s health and beauty, EQUELLE products foster a beautiful life, comfortable, positive and true to yourself.
