Kabaya Foods Announces Free Distribution of Salt Charge Tablets to Encourage Hydration and Mineral Intake

In a continued effort to promote awareness regarding hydration and mineral intake among children and students, Kabaya Foods Corporation has announced the initiation of a program starting May 11, 2026. This initiative aims to distribute their product, Salt Charge Tablets, free of charge to schools across Japan, ranging from kindergartens to high schools.

The Salt Charge brand, launched in 2009, has carved out a unique niche as a candy designed for heat countermeasures. These tablet candies are specifically formulated to provide a convenient and delicious way to replenish the sodium and potassium lost through sweating. Recognizing the vital role of hydration and minerals during periods of exertion, this product has been endorsed as a recommended item by the Japan School Health Association since 2017.

Since 2018, as part of this educational outreach, Kabaya has provided teaching materials focused on the relation between salt and the body, along with Salt Charge Tablets, promoting the positive aspects of sweating during physical activities. This initiative has reached approximately 31,000 schools, benefiting over 21.9 million students by fostering a better understanding of hydration importance.

In 2026, Kabaya aims to emphasize the significance of adequate hydration and mineral supplementation not just on hot days, but throughout the year during sports, outings, or fever periods. They want to ensure that children, parents, and educators understand the positive effects of sweating and the importance of maintaining hydration and mineral balance. By providing Salt Charge Tablets in educational settings, Kabaya continues to support the well-being of children in an engaging and informative manner.

Kabaya Foods believes that thorough hydration and mineral replenishment can lead to healthier, more active lifestyles for children. The Salt Charge initiative is not just about providing products; it's about empowering the younger generation to make informed choices regarding their health.
