1st Meeting for Glutathione Sciences in Japan.

August 5, 2016

KYOWA HAKKO BIO Co., Ltd. held the 1st Meeting for Glutathione Sciences in Japan

KYOWA HAKKO BIO CO., LTD. (President and CEO: Chikakuni Kotani), held the 1st Meeting for Glutathione Sciences in Japan on April 28th, 2016. Glutathione is used as a pharmaceutical ingredient in Japan, and is used as a dietary supplement for antioxidation, detoxification, and skin whitening in Western and Asian countries. In order to provide interest in glutathione studies for more researchers, we therefore set up an opportunity to discuss the benefits of glutathione intake for our health. Forty eight people attended the meeting and discussed new findings and the future direction of glutathione studies.
We hope to have the opportunity to hold this meeting in other countries in the future.
