Original technology
leading to new value
Our Mission Creating new value by
using original technology
to support people’s health
Since Bizen Chemical was founded, we have never given up on our passion to create
products that improve people’s health. We have built up the capabilities to utilize natural materials
to create novel products and new value. Our active pursuit of research and development has given us the
power to achieve such goals.
Although it is no easy task to be a pioneer in the industry,
we have a
relentless drive to support people’s health, leading to a more fulfilling life for all. While highly
valuing the requirements of our customers, we strive to create original ideas and seek new horizons.

R&D and manufacturing
tailored to customer
requirements
We have the flexibility to respond to customer requirements from the research and development of functional materials to the development of formulations. In addition to providing comprehensive support from the development of materials to OEM production, we also research, develop, manufacture, and sell our own brand of functional materials.

Material Development
Oleo Fine Chemicals
We successfully achieved the production of
high-concentration and high-purity
omega-3 fatty acids.
By combining our original extraction, chromatography, and distillation techniques, we are making strides in the research and development of high-concentration and high-purity formulations. We have had particular success producing omega-3 fatty acids, which are effective in maintaining good health or preventing and treating diseases, as well as lipids, which are traditionally difficult to produce with high concentrations and purity.
Extracts
We are striving to develop new beneficial functional materials and enrich the body of evidence in each field.
As part of our goal to create effective materials, we conduct research on a daily basis and actively test raw materials such as plants, agricultural products, and marine products for potential health benefits. We endeavor to carefully produce materials that help maintain and improve people’s health, and constantly work to create high-quality products that everyone can use with peace of mind.

Tablet Formulation Development
Fully utilizing our B-ReC, B-MoG, and B-HiT technologies,
we create
suitable products with flavoring or by designing formulations
tailored to product
concepts.
We are constantly working to develop formulation technology and product proposals so we can continue to deliver products that meet the strict requirements and concepts of our customers. We design formulations, manufacture prototypes, and perform severe testing to find optimum conditions. This ensures that our products perfectly match customer expectations.

Integrated production system
that meets strict quality
standards
Our high-quality integrated production system has been set up to satisfy the wide range of customer requirements. We are equipped to accommodate both full-process orders from the manufacture of functional materials to final products, as well as half-process orders from the production of formulations to final products.
Production of
Functional Materials
-
Production of Oleo Fine Chemicals
Our unique patented technology utilizes the difference in the number of double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids to selectively extract particular omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. By combining this with our advanced distillation technology, we are able to produce high-concentration reagent-level omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.
-
Production of Extracts
Our technology for extracting, concentrating, and powdering various extracts (such as deodorization and enzyme processes) enables efficient commercialization of active ingredients. This proprietary technology improves both taste and stability.
Tablet Formulation
Development
BIZEN-Technology
-
Tablets that deliver functional ingredients to the right place in the digestive tract and can be released at the right time
-
Technology that maximizes functionality by keeping the active ingredients in the mouth for a longer time. This solves the issues faced by conventional oral care products
-
Technology that enables the production of high-loaded tablets made from functional ingredients that are difficult to mix with high concentrations

Product sample inspection
As part of our strict safety confirmation process before considering the commercialization of a product, we perform the following inspections on all raw materials.
- 1 Confirm that the raw materials are not included in the official list of components or materials that can only be used in licensed medical and pharmaceutical products (Pharmaceutical list).
- 2 Confirm that the raw materials are included in the official list of components or materials that are judged not to be pharmaceuticals unless labeled as having medicinal effects (Non-pharmaceutical list) or the raw materials are acknowledged that they have been consumed long enough to be safe in Japan.
