What are “Foods with Function Claims”?
Before this system was in place, making function claims on food labels had only been allowed for government-approved Foods for Specified Health Uses(FOSHU) and for Foods with Nutrient Function Claims(FNFC) that complied with the specifications and standards designated by the government. This new type of Foods with Health Claims, called Foods with Function Claims, was introduced in April 2015 in order to make more available products clearly labeled with certain nutritional or health functions and to enable consumers to make more informed choices.

Proteoglycan contains proteins and chondroitin sulfate and is widely found into the body such as in cartilage and skin.
Excellent in water retention and elasticity, it has the function of absorbing impact.
A type of protein mainly found in cartilage such as in joints and in the eyeball.
It has the function of preserving the cartilage structure.
Clinical studies have confirmed that the ingestion of "salmon cartilage-derived proteoglycan" and "salmon cartilage-derived type II collagen" improves the movement of the knee joint that involves bending and stretching.
The subjects of the clinical study were 60 healthy males and females aged between 40 and 70 who were asked to take a tablet containing Proteoglycan complex 80 (16 mg of Proteoglycan and 16 mg of type II collagen derived from salmon) or a placebo over a period of 12 weeks. The study was concerning “discomfort when sitting in the traditional Japanese seiza position” (stiffness, discomfort and pain in the knees when kneeling and sitting on your heels (seiza)), and the results confirmed a significant difference between the two groups.
