For as many days of
healthy living as possible

The period when people are able to spend their time living healthily and comfortably without any restrictions on their daily lifestyle is known as the “healthy lifespan”. Currently, it is said that the average healthy lifespan for Japanese people is 72 years for men and 75 years for women and the difference in these figures against the respective average lifespans, in other words the period when it is not possible for people to spend their time living healthily, is 9 years for men and 12 years for women.

There were people familiar to me too who were enthusiastic about starting activities like mountain climbing and dancing after they went into compulsory retirement, but in actuality, it seems they were troubled by their physical weariness and headaches and whatever they did it ended up being too much hassle so they were not in a position to enjoy their second lives.

In order to extend our healthy lifespan, it is important to create health not only in the senior years but in the life-stages across the length of our lives. What we at Itoh Kanpo Pharmaceutical provide are health and beauty products for people to become healthy in both mind and body during each of those life-stages. We work on R&D, raw material selection, quality control, hygiene control and educational activities from the customer perspective and believe that the responsibility of Itoh Kanpo Pharmaceutical is to extend the time that everybody can spend healthily as much as possible. And, we will continue to make further efforts so that as many people as possible will be happy and think that “It was good to have encountered the products of Itoh Kanpo Pharmaceutical.”
