REDAS Collaborates with Osaka Gas for D-BHB Product Development

REDAS Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has announced a significant capital partnership with Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. of Chuo, Osaka. This collaboration aims to enhance the development of products utilizing D-BHB (D-β-hydroxybutyrate), a naturally derived ketone body, which has recently gained international attention as a new energy source. This partnership is expected to contribute to the wider use of D-BHB and promote healthier living.

Understanding D-BHB: A New Energy Source for Weight Management

D-BHB is a ketone body that serves as an energy source when fat metabolism occurs, particularly during times of carbohydrate restriction. It has become increasingly popular due to its potential benefits in weight management, brain function improvement, enhanced exercise performance, and its promising applications in treating specific diseases such as cancer and epilepsy. Daily research continues to unveil the diverse health benefits associated with D-BHB.

Innovative Production of D-BHB by Osaka Gas

Osaka Gas has developed a unique fermentation method using Halomonas bacteria to mass-produce OKETOA® D-BHB. This method relies on non-GM microorganisms derived from natural resources and does not use organic solvents during production, ensuring the safety and quality of the food-grade ingredient. This characteristic distinguishes OKETOA D-BHB in the market.

Background of the Investment

REDAS has recognized the groundbreaking potential of D-BHB, successfully launching Japan's first product incorporating this component called “DYNAMITE EAA GEKIDASHI-KETO” in March 2023 after a package renewal. Furthermore, in July 2025, they will introduce a second D-BHB product, “Wellni KETO-BHB,” containing approximately 1,500 mg of D-BHB in both powder and jelly forms. This signifies REDAS's commitment to exploring the possibilities within the expanding market of high-protein foods.

Future Prospects

Moving forward, REDAS intends to strengthen its collaboration with Osaka Gas to promote D-BHB further. They plan to actively engage in awareness activities around D-BHB's functionality and significance through trade exhibitions, seminars, and social media outreach. The aim is to enhance recognition and understanding of D-BHB across various demographics, from industry professionals to general consumers.

Moreover, REDAS is considering further investments in product development related to D-BHB, with an eye on building new partnerships, ultimately targeting market expansion and social contributions.
