Suntory, Japan's leading beverage company, said it is transparent, colorless, and odorless like regular bottled water, and is characterized by no calories, sugar or caffeine at all.
It is also a special bottled water that can be officially certified by the Japanese government as a 'functional labeled food' to advertise health effects.
Santori said it developed the product mainly for office workers or modern people who are prone to accumulation of visceral fat due to irregular lives. This special bottled water contains HMPA (3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid), a low-molecular metabolite extracted from fermented rice bran, which is known to be effective in reducing abdominal fat, especially visceral fat.
According to the official clinical trial results of Santori, the effect of improving abdominal fat distribution was observed in high BMI (body mass index) subjects who continuously consumed HMPA.
Santori explained that just drinking a bottle (600ml) a day can have a positive effect on fat loss. The price is 150 yen (about 1,400 won) per bottle, which is reasonable and can be easily purchased at convenience stores and supermarkets.
Following the success of the existing functional tea drink 'Special Tea (特茶)' series, Santori is targeting a new consumer base with products that emphasize health functionality in the bottled water market.
