Effective use of untapped resources
We collect untapped resources from all over Japan that would normally be discarded and use them in product development. From kelp in Hokkaido in the north to sea bream scales in Ehime in the south, our research and development continues to shed light on various untapped resources to create future possibilities.
Developed Japan's first fish collagen
RU Institute's founder, Yozo Ishizuka, engaged in various research projects, including fish collagen, under the theme of "shedding light on untapped resources," and succeeded in developing Japan's first technology to extract collagen from fish scales in 1997.
Fish scales bring about natural apatite
Coexisting with the natural world, which brings us great blessings, we make the most of those blessings. Because this is our focus, we discovered natural apatite from the fish scales in scales collagen. We put natural apatite and its superior restorative ability compared with artificial versions to practical use as toothpaste.
