ZENA King:Newest Addition to ZENA Lineup
Taisho Renews Series and Packages
Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (President: Akira Uehara) announced that ZENA King (50ml, 2,000 yen), a new product in the ZENA line of health drinks would debut on October 26. In addition, the company outlined plans to renew the ZENA lineup and packaging.
ZENA King incorporates 17 types of herbal medicines (equivalent to 6,050mg of base herbal medicines), including the highly invigorating cistanche and eight other nutrition and invigoration drugs. Because it combines cistanche, callopeptide, cordyceps and other herbal medicines with strong invigoration properties, ZENA King is especially recommended for sufferers of physical and mental fatigue.
Taisho launched the ZENA brand in December 1992. In the series’ ninth year, the number of individual products has also reached nine, allowing the series to respond to a variety of types of fatigue affecting its customers. In addition, customers have demanded to know more about the effects and special characteristics of each product. To respond to such calls from the marketplace, Taisho developed ZENA King and trimmed down the entire lineup to a total of six distinct products. New environmentally friendly paper packages have also been introduced. These packages are categorized as burnable rubbish when empty, and can therefore be safely disposed of in ordinary trash bins.
