JP Renew Distributors, LLC (“JPRD”) was initially formed to bring the patented SEANOL algae polyphenol technology to the Japanese market..   The company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington with associates and partners in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan, Seoul, Korea and San Francisco, California.  JPRD is part of a larger network of companies in Asia and the US focused on the development and distribution of SEANOL in both nutraceutical and eventually pharmaceutical applications.

JPRD formally introduced SEANOL, all existing SEANOL based products, and SEANOL applications at the Natural Foods EXPO in Tokyo in May 2005.  JPRD is now seeking partners in Japan and other territories in the US, Asia and Europe for the direct distribution of existing products and the importation of bulk SEANOL as the active ingredient to be used in formulations for a number of different health and wellness applications.

JPRD offers a number of services in support of its partners including but not limited to:

• Export of established and successful SEANOL based products including modifications of products to meet Japanese regulatory requirements.
• Export of bulk SEANOL under license agreement for formulation into products in Japan or other partner territories.
• Data and reports on a variety of clinical studies conducted by leading research institutions such as the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington, the National Institute of Health, and the Mirae Research Institute in Seoul, Korea.  The studies are also supported by many in vitro and in vivo studies conducted by Dr. Lee and his research staff.
• Custom laboratory (in vitro and in vivo) tests or human trial tests for specific efficacies as required by partners.
• Support of Japanese customs and FOSHU requirements.
• Formulation services to design new and efficacious SEANOL based products.
