Daiwa Health Development Introduces Ground-Breaking Brain Supplement

GARDENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Daiwa Health Development, the U.S. subsidiary of the prominent Japanese brand Daiwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., announced today that it has developed a new ground-breaking supplement to support brain health.

The new product, called "Daiwa Brain Health®," includes Hokkaido Scallop Oil Plasmalogen (HSOP™) as its key ingredient, which has been scientifically shown to improve memory and sharpen cognitive function.

"Daiwa Brain Health® is a major breakthrough in brain health supplementation," said Nori Shirai, executive director of Daiwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the parent company of Daiwa Health Development. "This product contains the brand-new ingredient plasmalogen to support optimal brain health."

The supplement is based on several scientific studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of plasmalogen, a type of phospholipid found in high concentrations in the brain, for reducing cognitive decline and improving memory.

For example, a major 2019 study by seven scientists in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease & Parkinsonism examined 157 patients aged 60-85 with "moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's Disease" and found that those supplemented with plasmalogen (Pls) experienced a significant improvement in cognitive function.

"Orally administered scallop-derived Pls improve cognitive function and that the measurement of blood Pls is valuable to assess the severity and treatment progress in patients with moderate-to-severe A.D.," the study concluded.

Another study, published in the Japanese Pharmacology and Therapeutics, studied the impact of food with plasmalogen on patients aged 50-80 with memory complaints. The study found that "daily supplementation of plasmalogen may improve the cognitive function in the older population aged above 60 years."

Both studies were placebo-controlled and double-blind, making them some of the most reliable studies on plasmalogen to date. Placebo-controlled is when neither the researcher nor the participant knows who is receiving the treatment, and double-blind means that neither the participant nor the researcher knows which group is getting the placebo.

Daiwa shares three other major research papers published in international, peer-reviewed journals on the benefits of plasmalogen, including EBioMedicine, Lipids, and another in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease & Parkinsonism.

"The science behind plasmalogen is clear," said Shirai. "This key ingredient can improve memory and cognitive function, which is why we've included it in our new Daiwa Brain Health® supplement."

Daiwa Brain Health® is now available for purchase on the company's website and Amazon.
