A New Era of Health with Kracie's Healing Snacks

Kracie Pharmaceutical Co., known for its expertise in OTC and prescription medicines centered on traditional Chinese medicine, has introduced an exciting new line called the "Kracie Food Therapy Snacks." This innovative series emphasizes tasty and convenient health management options tailored to individual bodily needs. Starting September 15, 2026, the series will first be available at Tsuruha Group and Welcia Group locations across Japan, and online sales will follow through the Kracie Kampo Online Shop and other platforms.

Understanding Food Therapy

Food therapy, grounded in traditional Chinese medicine's philosophy of "food as medicine," offers a holistic approach to balancing the body and mind through daily nutrition. The idea is simple yet profound: eating well can lead to better health. The Kracie Food Therapy Snacks embody this philosophy, inviting consumers to incorporate healthful eating into their everyday lives, all while enjoying delightful flavors.

Product Highlights

Two primary products are being launched within this series:

1. Nuts & Black Bean Mix

This snack is a blend of jujube dates and black beans, both celebrated for their nutritional benefits. With a focus on iron, folic acid, and dietary fiber, this mix has been carefully crafted using a low-temperature vacuum roasting method that retains the vibrant colors, flavors, and nutrients of the ingredients. It offers a crispy texture perfect for alleviating nutritional needs during menstruation and for those with a "blood deficiency" constitution. Each bag contains only 164 kcal and is free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.

2. Citrus Peel Hawthorn Cubes

This delightful snack combines citrus peels known for their citric acid, polyphenols, and dietary fiber, mixed with hawthorn, resulting in easy-to-eat cubes that maintain a refreshing sweet and sour flavor. These cubes are particularly beneficial for individuals looking to refresh themselves during work or for those with stagnant energy conditions, referred to as "qi stagnation." Each serving contains just 149 kcal, sharing the same commitment to clean ingredients as the other product.

Kracie's Food Therapy Snacks have been developed with the modern consumer in mind, particularly busy women who often find it difficult to care for their health amidst packed schedules.

Developer's Note

Xing Cheng, the brand developer, grew up in China surrounded by the wisdom of food therapy. She recalls her grandmother seamlessly incorporating jujube and hawthorn into meals to promote health. While working in Japan, she recognized the challenges faced by busy women in prioritizing their well-being, leading her to the concept of crafting "snacks" that offer health benefits without extra effort.

Sales Channels

These products will be available at various Tsuruha and Welcia Group stores nationwide. Online, customers can purchase directly through Kracie’s Kampo online site or on platforms like Amazon Japan. Both snacks, set to launch September 15, 2026, reflect Kracie's dedication to blending traditional wisdom with modern lifestyle needs.
