≪Recruiting 2nd monitor≫ [App x clinical research] Started
verification of the effect of plum extract “Umrin” on egg aging in cooperation with menstrual day prediction and fertility app “Laroon”
Kishu Hosokawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which develops plum extract “Umrin” that supports fertility, has cooperated with Wakayama Medical University, Osaka Kawasaki Rehabilitation University, and Ateam Wellness Co., Ltd., which has been conducting joint research for some time. I am conducting clinical research using a smartphone app. As a result of the first round, 80% of the monitor’s eggs improved. In addition, we have started recruiting for the second round this time. When it comes to clinical research, overturning the common sense of “going to a university or clinic”, we are exploring a new form of recruiting subjects from a familiar window called a smartphone app. We will provide up to 3 months worth of plum extract “Umrin” to women who are trying to conceive, and verify the effects of Umrin based on the state of eggs before and after drinking.
[First step] Application start: September 13, 2022 ~ Data collection and verification period: March 1, 2023 ~ March 31, 2023
[2nd] Application start: May 1, 2023 ~

After more than 20 years of research, it is a useful component of plum specially extracted from selected domestic plums. You can take care of eggs that were difficult to deal with. Umrin is a useful ingredient in plums that allows you to take care of your own eggs (*). * Protecting eggs, which are damaged as they age, from oxidative stress. Completely different from folic acid and maca, it supports fertility with its own action.
