ともに美しく生きていく。 VENTUNO

English

A message from CEO

We will deliver the power and possibilities of fucoidan to customers.

VENTUNO, the Italian for “21”.
As the name suggests, VENTUNO was established in 1990 with its sights set firmly on the 21st century. In the remote past, before the existence of life, Earth was covered by a primeval ocean. It was this ocean that gave birth to algae, the earliest form of life on our planet. Miraculous Mother Earth and algae, its blessing to our world, are the origins of all life as we know it. Our encounter with fucoidan, derived from a slimy substance found on algae, led us to focus our attention on the natural powers inherent in fucoidan. These powers include the capability to stimulate our natural immune systems and moisturizing/regenerative properties that are effective at promoting a beautiful complexion. We have continued to focus only on developing excellent products that support both health and beauty on the inside and out. In addition, we have been involved in research and development in collaboration with experts in medicine and science, including at public institutes. And our research and development of fucoidan continues in a range of fields worldwide, unravelling the mysteries behind its inestimable potentials. As well as generating awareness of the amazing powers of fucoidan among a wider audience through health food and cosmetic products, we are making every effort to explore further possibilities for fucoidan and make these available to the world.

We at VENTUNO will continue to pursue the potential for change and evolution!

We are still a young company, but all our employees possess a level of power second to none, moving forward in their day-to-day work in a spirit of endeavor. We believe that the source of our drive is the voices of satisfaction from our customers, and it is these voices that in turn act as a source of joy and personal development for our employees. “Things that only we are capable of doing”; “Things that are possible because of us” – we would like to become the “one and only” company in which these mottos are shared by all employees and continue proposing products in close relation with each and every customer. We continue to be a company that provides customers with pleasing products and services that will bring them a healthy and happy future, while providing our employees with a fun and challenging work environment.

What is mozuku?
Masaji Nakamizo, President

Mozuku, a type of edible seaweed that has been consumed as food throughout Japan since ancient times, contains extremely large quantities of minerals and dietary fiber.
Mozuku is mainly found in shallow waters from tropical to temperate areas. Consisting of a series of irregular brown branches 1.5-3.5 mm in diameter, its surface secretes polysaccharide and is slimy.

What is mekabu?
Masaji Nakamizo, President

Mekabu is a thick ruffled sprout located within a leafy section found on the appressoria of wakame. Located in a section containing reproductive cells, it is equivalent to matured leaves or fertile leaves. Wakame is a type of seaweed and as such does not have roots, but mekabu is also known commonly as “wakame roots.”
