Objective of Introducing the New Product |
|
In recent years, various studies have confirmed the beneficial attributes of tomatoes. Tomatoes have long been eaten as part of a healthful diet, and vinegar made from tomatoes contains such health-promoting nutrients as glutamic acid and γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA). Based on this, Lion has promoted the study of tomato vinegar since 1987 and has commercially developed unique tomato vinegar-based beverages.
By powderizing its proprietary tomato vinegar to create a concentrate and adding milk peptides (nutrients extracted from milk) Lion was able to develop tablets that can be easily taken even by those who do not like the acidity of vinegar. “Tomatosu+Milk Peptide Seikatsu” tablets will be released on the Lion Wellness Direct mail-order shopping site on Thursday, May 17, 2012, as a product that supports people concerned about their lifestyle habits.
