For growing children who want to do their best in physical development, studying, and sports, the growth-support brand "Senobic" introduces a new chewable type: " Senobic Performance UP Mixed Berry Yogurt Flavor <Chewable>" now on sale.

February 27, 2025

ROHTO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Masafumi Sugimoto) will launch a new product, "Senobic Performance UP Mixed Berry Yogurt Flavor <Chewable Tablets>", from its "Senobic" brand, which was developed based on research into bones during the growth period, on March 13, 2025 (Thursday) at the Rohto online shop.

This product is a nutritional supplement containing calcium, vitamin D, iron, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, which are essential for growth. It also contains Bonepep, Oligomil®, GABA, lactic acid bacteria, lutein, citric acid, palatinose, and other ingredients, for a total of 16 ingredients that support the growth of children. Despite containing so many ingredients, it is a chewable type that can be easily taken without water, making it convenient to consume daily. It is recommended for those who want to get nutrients quickly and easily, or who want to get nutrients while out and about, such as at extracurricular activities. This is a new proposal for children who want to work hard at building their bodies, exercising, and studying, even amidst busy schedules, and for parents who want to support their efforts. Through "Senobic," we will support the well-being of the next generation of children.

Product launch background

In 2007, we launched the growth-supporting beverage "Senobic" based on our desire to "create products that support children's growth" in response to the many concerns we received from customers who had children and were troubled by their likes and dislikes about food. Since then, over the past 15 years, we have continued our research on nutritional supplements and bones necessary for growth, and have continued to offer a variety of products under the "Senobic" brand, with cumulative sales of the series topping 25 million units! note 1 In January 2024, we will introduce a new brand with enhanced nutrition (V.C. and V.B. as nutritional ingredients of food with nutrient function claims). 6 The Senobic Performance UP Series has been launched as a new product (with the addition of the new "Performance UP" series, which has improved performance compared to the previous product).
The nutritional intake of growing children in Japan is inadequate, with calcium, vitamin C, and several other nutrients falling below recommended levels. note 2 (supplementary information) On the one hand, the number of working people is increasing. On the other hand, the increase in the number of dual-earners *3 It is not easy to control the nutritional requirements for children's growth with only daily meals, as children tend to lead irregular lifestyles, juggling school and school lessons, and so on.
To meet the needs of parents and children who want to take in nutrition in an easy-to-continue way and get through the growing season in earnest, we are launching Senobic Performance UP Mixed Berry Yogurt Flavor (chewable), which can be eaten without water and contains 16 different ingredients.

Product features

  1. Contains five essential nutrients for growth!

    This is a nutritional supplement containing calcium, vitamin D, iron, vitamin C, and vitamin B6.
    Taking three tablets a day can provide the amount of calcium that you can't get from your diet alone. *2

  2. Featuring "Calcium Big Mix II," a combination of ingredients that supports healthy growth during the growth period!

    In addition to calcium, vitamin D, and iron, which have been included as nutritional functional food ingredients in previous products, we have added vitamin C and vitamin B6 to enhance the nutritional content. Furthermore, we have combined Bonepep (egg yolk peptide), Oligomil® (milk peptide), vitamin K2, and magnesium to create "Calcium Big Mix II," a carefully selected blend of nutrients necessary for growth.

  3. Contains 11 different supporting ingredients!

    Even if you're busy with studying and exercise and your sleep and eating habits tend to be irregular, you don't want to miss out on the opportunities for growth. This product contains GABA, α-GPC, and yeast peptides to support you in this situation. In addition, it contains ingredients that are beneficial for growing children, such as lactic acid bacteria, lutein, citric acid, and palatinose.

  4. Chewable tablets that can be eaten without water!

    It can be taken out of the bag and chewed directly. While calcium, iron, and other ingredients like Bonepep and Oligomil in this product have strong bitterness and odors, we utilized coating technology and conducted over 300 prototype tests to create a chewable tablet that provides nutrition while being delicious to chew.
    It doesn't require time to dissolve in milk or water, yet it provides all the necessary nutrients, making it a great help for busy parents and children.
