Japanese consumers are concerned about lifestyle related diseases known as metabolic syndrome which includes hypertension, obesity, disturbed lipid profile and high blood sugar levels. It was observed that 9.7% Japanese were suffering from this syndrome in 2016. The syndrome is on an increase in Japan and number is expected to increase to 10.1% in 10 years. However, the Government of Japan has planned to cut metabolic syndrome by 25.0% from 2008 to 2020. Rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome coupled with the government efforts to reduce the occurrence of disease in Japan has resulted in augmented intake of supplements n the country.
The same could be advocated from the example that decreased rate of diabetes were observed in people in Japan who have habit of consuming more than six cups of green tea per day compared to those who drink a cup a day in a year 2015. Similarly, Japan is highest consumer of red yeast rice, which helps in reducing the production of bad cholesterol. All these examples clearly advocate that Japanese are one of the biggest consumers of nutraceuticals products used for improving metabolic syndrome.
