It is a food. If a doctor prescribed medication, changing or stopping it is a decision for that doctor alone. This product's notified function concerns healthy people at the edge of normal values, not treatment. What exactly does the Japanese notification say? The maker filed with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency that maritime-pine-bark procyanidin B1 and B3, at 2.46 mg daily, are reported to lower LDL cholesterol. An FFC filing is the maker's responsibility, reviewed for format — it is not a drug approval, in Japan or anywhere. Is 2.46 mg per day a lot? Other pine bark products list hundreds of milligrams. The numbers measure different things. 2.46 mg is the content of two specific procyanidin molecules, B1 and B3 — not the total pine bark extract. Products quoting 100+ mg are usually quoting whole-extract weight, so compare like with like. Is this the original Japanese DHC product? Yes. We stock the Japanese retail version of コレステロール対策 and ship it from Japan with tracking. The pouch is labelled in Japanese; this page carries the full translated declaration. How long does delivery take and will I pay customs fees? Processing takes 2–6 business days, then transit depends on the carrier you choose at checkout.
