In today's aging society, consumers are paying increasing attention to health-related issues and the concept of self-medication is being accepted more widely. Based on its Corporate Philosophy, Glico strives to offer consumers products that helps them maintain and enhance their health and beauty.
"Power Production" is a series of supplemental food products for athletes. Firmly linked with our spirit of establishing "300 meters on a single piece" (one Glico caramel contains enough calories to run 300 meters), the lineup comprises three categories: a speed booster to enhance sprinting muscle power, a stamina booster to increase endurance, and a recovery booster to facilitate smooth and effective performance of various physical functions. An increasing number of top athletes worldwide are using these products.
In particular, "Power Production CCD Drink," a sports drink containing Glico's patented (in Japan, USA and Europe) "Cluster Dextrin," is attracting significant attention to its innovative ability to supply energy, water and other nutrition to the body simultaneously.
Our development activities have created many other health-related food and drink products that meet various needs of health-conscious consumers.
One example is BREO, an oral care candy that was developed for cleaning the tongue and breath. This product is promoted as a new approach for oral care with the catch phrase "clean tongue, clean breath," emphasizing the importance of maintaining cleanness of not only teeth but also the tongue.
An increasing number of people are under dietary restriction for treatment or prevention of diseases. This is becoming a significant social issue. Therefore, a wide range of research and product development activities are underway at Glico to deal with this. We are always working to help improve the quality of life for our customers and share our Corporate Philosophy, "A Wholesome Life in the Best Taste," with all people.
