AMU Functional Formula
The Science of a Smarter Cup
The AMU formulation combines premium coffee with carefully selected functional ingredients appropriate to the final product and its target markets.
Premium Coffee
The Heart of AMU.
A carefully developed coffee profile delivering the aroma, smoothness and satisfying flavour expected from a premium coffee experience. Because a wellness coffee should still taste like excellent coffee.
Coffee-Derived Chlorogenic Acids
Coffee Science. Naturally Connected.
Naturally associated with coffee beans, chlorogenic acids are an important focus in Japan's functional-coffee market. AMU can develop its formulation around standardised coffee-derived chlorogenic acids, subject to final formulation, evidence and regulatory approval.
Kudzu Flower Extract
Japanese Botanical Innovation.
Kudzu has a long history in Japanese food culture. Kudzu-flower-derived isoflavones are used in Japanese functional foods focused on weight and abdominal-fat management. AMU can evaluate a standardised kudzu-flower ingredient as part of its advanced weight-management formulation.
Dietary Fibre
Better Routine. Better Balance.
Wellness is not only about weight. Dietary fibre can form an important part of a more complete everyday nutritional approach. AMU can incorporate carefully selected soluble fibre to complement its digestive-wellness positioning.
Probiotic or Postbiotic Technology
Wellness From Within.
Modern wellness increasingly recognises the importance of digestive health. AMU can incorporate an appropriate heat-stable probiotic, spore-forming microorganism or postbiotic technology selected by its Japanese development partner.
MCT
Fuel Your Active Day.
Medium-chain triglycerides are widely used in active-lifestyle nutrition. An appropriate MCT ingredient can complement AMU's positioning for busy professionals, fitness consumers and wellness-focused lifestyles.
Black Ginger
Move More. Live Better.
Black ginger is used in a range of Japanese health and active-lifestyle products. It represents another potential botanical component for AMU's premium functional formulation.
Green Coffee Extract
From Coffee Bean to Wellness Innovation.
Green coffee ingredients provide a natural bridge between the coffee experience and functional plant compounds. A standardised ingredient can be evaluated for the final AMU formulation.
Ellagic Acid
Modern Functional Nutrition.
Ellagic acid is another ingredient appearing in Japan's new generation of functional weight-management coffee products. AMU can evaluate its suitability based on formulation compatibility, evidence and the regulations of each target market.
Banaba Leaf
Smarter Metabolic Wellness.
Banaba-derived ingredients are increasingly used in metabolic-wellness products. They may provide another direction for an advanced AMU formulation following technical and regulatory review.
Ingredient and product concepts described on this page are under development. Final formulations, functional ingredients, serving sizes and any permitted claims depend on completed formulation work, supporting evidence and the regulations of each target market. Nothing here is a health claim or a promise of a specific result.
