HizaTect Celebrates Two Years in the Market

Fujifilm Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has proudly announced that its functional food product, HizaTect, has reached its second anniversary. Launched in March 2024, HizaTect is notable for being Japan's first functional food that claims to support the production of cartilage components and help protect joint cartilage. This product is particularly recommended for individuals who experience discomfort in their knee joints during activities such as walking or climbing stairs.

Since its launch, HizaTect has gained significant popularity, with cumulative sales exceeding 200,000 bags. Beginning in April 2026, the company plans to introduce a new smaller version containing 15 days' worth of doses (60 tablets) in response to customer demand, making it even more accessible to a wider audience.

Fujifilm envisions itself not just as a provider of health supplements but as a total healthcare company. The company is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people at all stages—from prevention to diagnosis and treatment—through its extensive expertise and technology. Under the theme "Health is Fun," Fujifilm Supplements capitalize on unique nanotechnology and stabilization techniques developed in their photography division to deliver nutrients efficiently to the body. The company is committed to providing high-quality and reliable products that meet diverse customer needs while contributing to health maintenance and enhancement.

Features of HizaTect

1. Supports Cartilage Component Production

HizaTect contains four functional ingredients, including AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid), which are known for their beneficial effects on joint health. A clinical study involving 24 weeks found significant increases in the production of type II collagen, a vital cartilage component, in participants consuming HizaTect compared to those taking a placebo. This suggests that HizaTect can help maintain healthy walking abilities.

2. Alleviates Discomfort during Daily Activities

In an 8-week clinical trial focusing on individuals experiencing discomfort in their knee joints, the group consuming HizaTect showed significant improvements based on the JKOM score compared to the placebo group. By alleviating discomfort, HizaTect can enhance willingness to engage in physical activities in daily life.

3. Supports Smooth Movement

Another significant finding from an 8-week study indicated that participants taking HizaTect experienced a notable increase in walking distance compared to those on the placebo. This outcome not only expands their range of motion but also promotes increased physical activity, supporting overall health maintenance.
