Introducing Kurubisa Plus: Japan's First Functional Food for Blood Pressure Management

Introduction of Kurubisa Plus

House Wellness Foods Co., Ltd. is set to launch a new functional food product under its Kurubisa brand called "Kurubisa Plus: Blood Pressure Management" on August 3, 2026. This innovative product will be available exclusively on the company's online store, House Direct (https://www.house-direct.jp/).

This new addition to the Kurubisa lineup focuses on promoting liver health and managing high blood pressure. Kurubisa Plus utilizes a combination of curcumin and bisacurone—known for their ability to support liver enzyme levels—along with GABA, which has been reported to help reduce elevated blood pressure. This product aims to support the health of individuals who are concerned about their liver enzymes and blood pressure levels, particularly targeting those with higher than normal body mass index (BMI).

Development Story

Supporting Customer Health with Enhanced Ingredients

For over 15 years, House Foods Group has conducted research into turmeric, particularly focusing on its active ingredient, curcumin, derived from autumn turmeric. Extensive studies have shown that a combination of curcumin and bisacurone can help improve liver enzyme levels (GGT, AST, ALT) in healthy individuals who have slightly elevated readings. Based on these findings, the original Kurubisa product was launched in April 2020, quickly gaining recognition for its unique ability to display functionality for three liver enzyme levels.

Continuing to innovate, the company identified additional needs among consumers, particularly individuals concerned about both liver function and high blood pressure as they age. Following the June 15, 2026 launch of "Kurubisa Plus: Abdominal Fat Management," the introduction of Kurubisa Plus for blood pressure management further underscores House Foods' commitment to enhancing customers’ health.

A Look into Liver Function and Blood Pressure

Kurubisa Plus is particularly aimed at healthy individuals in their 60s who are mindful of their liver function enzyme levels and blood pressure. It is designed for those who wish to actively manage their health with effective and scientifically-supported solutions.

User-Friendly Design and Clear Messaging

The product's packaging prominently features icons representing its two main functions: "Gamma-GTP, AST, ALT" for liver health and "Blood Pressure" for blood pressure management. Each serving of Kurubisa Plus is designed to be just four capsules a day, making it convenient for users to incorporate into their daily routine while ensuring they receive the benefits of curcumin, bisacurone, and GABA without feeling overwhelmed by their supplement regimen.
