FAQ: Kampo (漢方) ingredients

Q. Why browse Japanese ingredients by regulatory classification?

Browse Japanese ingredients by their regulatory tag in Japan — quasi-drug active, FFC-eligible, Tokuho, Kampo, food additive, etc. This page lists 20 ingredients tagged with the Kampo (漢方) regulatory classification, helping formulators and brand planners shortlist candidates by use case rather than by category alone. Examples include Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract, Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara Extract, and Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Extract.

Q. How is the 'Kampo (漢方)' tag determined?

Regulatory tags reflect each ingredient's status under Japan's PMD Act (薬機法) and Food Sanitation Act, plus relevant systems like Foods with Function Claims (FFC) and Tokuho. Tags are an editorial classification — buyers should always verify the latest regulatory status against MHLW and CAA primary sources before product launch.
