Why It Works
Benefits
Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's Equol α + Beauty Support delivers multi-dimensional women's wellness through carefully selected ingredients that work together.
Supports Women's Hormonal Balance
Equol, derived from fermented soy isoflavone, supports women's health as natural femininity-related components decline with age. Research shows only about 1 in 2 Japanese people can naturally produce equol in their gut, making direct supplementation through this equol supplement particularly valuable for those who cannot produce it on their own.
Soy isoflavone researchBeauty Support From Within
This formula goes beyond standard equol supplementation by including beauty-focused ingredients: zinc (6.0mg) as an essential mineral, bird's nest extract (1.4mg) prized in Asian beauty traditions, and astaxanthin from Haematococcus algae extract. Together, these ingredients support beauty from the inside out for women experiencing age-related changes.
Multi-ingredient beauty formulaPromotes Relaxation and Calm
GABA (28mg per daily serving) is a naturally occurring amino acid that supports relaxation and calm. Combined with equol's support for hormonal balance, this supplement helps address both the physical and emotional aspects of age-related changes that women commonly experience through their 40s and 50s.

Kobayashi Pharmaceutical brings decades of experience to this formulation. Small, easy-to-swallow tablets with no coloring, fragrance, or preservatives demonstrate a commitment to clean, quality supplementation.
