Pour a small glass and the amber apple vinegar swirls gently; diluted with water it releases a sweet, ripened-apple aroma that softens into a mellow sip with just a touch of honey roundness — none of the sharp sting or bitterness typical of rice-bran vinegars. This is ReFa's first step into Inner Care: a daily apple cider drink that also carries Japan's official "Food with Function Claims" registration.
[Features]
- Japanese Food with Function Claims (Notification No. I1355): contains the functional ingredient HMPA (3-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid), officially registered with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency. Clinical data reports HMPA helps reduce abdominal (visceral) fat and waist circumference in people with a higher BMI.
- Core Polyphenol ingredient: HMPA is a stable polyphenol that works regardless of gut environment, supporting the body's metabolism of sugar and fat.
- 190-year heirloom vinegar culture x whole fermented apples: crafted with a secret family vinegar starter passed down 190 years, combined with whole fermented apples — no artificial sweeteners; only apple juice and honey for balance.
- Smooth and easy to drink: gentle acidity, rich and rounded texture without the throat-burn of typical rice-bran vinegars. Japanese drinkers describe it as "a very special apple cider vinegar."
- 480mL generous bottle (approx. 24-day supply): a 20mL daily serving fits easily into everyday routines.
[How to Use]
Take approx. 20mL daily, diluted 3 to 5 times with water or sparkling water. Enjoy at breakfast, in the afternoon, or after exercise. Refrigerate after opening and consume within a short period.
