"OM-X" has expanded to all over the world
Malaysia was chosen as the location for
the first sales of “OM-X” in 1988. It has been about 30 years since the first
sales took place.
“OM-X”, a Japanese supplement
in which selected ingredients grown in Japan are
fermented with Dr. Ohhira’s original
lactic acid bacteria "TH10" possessing 6.25
higher proteolytic
activity than common lactic acid bacteria
for over 3 years, has provided safety and actual beneficial experiences to consumers. The recognition of “OM-X” has steadily grown in Malaysia. Despite its lack of big publicity, the popularity of the product increased by word-of-mouth of consumers who experienced benefits from “OM-X” and the product crossed the border expanding
to Singapore, Philippines,
Thailand, and Southeast Asian countries.
Subsequently, “OM-X” was
introduced and started to sale in America by an American lawyer who found “OM-X” in Malaysia while traveling there. He had a weak stomach and unfortunately
got sick due to the change in his eating habits during the travel. “OM-X” was
recommended to him by a local doctor. After taking it, he felt relaxed and his
pain was also relieved, even his chronic discomfort disappeared. He received
explanations from Dr. Ohhira about the various ingredients of “OM-X” which
radically supports the body to be healthy. These experiences motivated him to
join us and become a distributor in America to sell “OM-X” (Dr. Ohhira’s
Probiotics®). After his continuous activities to raise understanding of “OM-X”
in America, “OM-X” has been selected for the “Best of Supplement (the
first prize in the
lactic acid bacteria category)” Award from “better nutrition”, a renowned American
health magazine with a readership of 3 million, in 2008 and described it as
“the only mixed-product with lactic acid bacteria using the ancient Japanese
art of fermentation and the latest technology” by experts and readers. It has
won the award 7 times from 2008 to 2015. “OM-X” attracted attention from all
over the world by earning the
first prize in
America where a huge industry of supplements has already been established and
subsequently expanded to Europe, Russia, New Zealand, South Korea, Hong Kong
and many countries in the world. The long-sought goal of Dr. Ohhira for “Wishing
good health and long life to 7 billion people around the world” had become a
reality.
Meanwhile,
Dr. Ohhira had been persistently researching to acquire new findings. For
example, he conducted clinical trials against diseases among children with symptoms
of dengue, diarrhea, pneumonia, and malnutrition with the cooperation of
pediatricians from one of our distributors in the Philippines. Since “OM-X” is
suitable for clinical practice, it is sold in hospitals and clinics not only in
the Philippines, but also in America, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand. In
addition, Dr. Ohhira conducted studies with the vegetable fermented extract in the
Philippines in order to decrease infectious diseases of fish which in turn
supports fish farming and to prevent rice blast. He also provided a guidance
about pest control over bamboos that pandas eat in China.
Since
Dr. Ohhira has also been highly revered for his international activities
through "OM-X", he received the award of “Presidential Citation from
International Medical Association” in 2004 and became the first Japanese to win
the “GUSI Peace prize” aka “Nobel Peace Prize of south-eastern Asia”.
