Description
DHC Blood Pressure Care (高めの血圧対策) 30 Tablets — Japanese FFC Supplement with GABA and Bonito Elastin
Overview
DHC 高めの血圧対策 is a Japanese Food with Function Claims (機能性表示食品, notification number J546). One 300 mg tablet a day carries two notified functional ingredients: GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) 30 mg and bonito-derived elastin peptide 75 mg. DHC filed with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency that GABA is reported to lower high blood pressure in people whose blood pressure is high, and that bonito elastin peptide is reported to maintain the flexibility of blood vessels — the degree to which a vessel dilates after being constricted — which declines with age. What that filing is and is not, we spell out under Cautions.

Who Is This For?
- Adults in the group DHC filed for: healthy people whose blood pressure readings sit at the high end
- Anyone who prefers one small tablet a day to a spoonful of powder or a handful of capsules
- People who measure their own blood pressure and keep a record — this is a food, and your own numbers are the only feedback it gives you
- NOT for people with a diagnosed illness, minors, pregnant women (including those planning pregnancy) or nursing women — DHC's own boundary
- NOT a substitute for prescribed blood-pressure medication; read the Cautions before you order
How to Use
- Take 1 tablet a day with water or lukewarm water. Swallow it whole — the maker asks that it is not chewed.
- Take it at the same time each day; with a meal is the easiest habit to keep.
- Do not exceed one tablet a day, and do not double up after a missed day.
- Close the pouch after each use and finish it within a reasonable time of opening.
Frequency: 1 tablet daily, 30-day supply

Cautions
- Not developed for people with a diagnosed illness, minors, pregnant women (including those planning pregnancy) or nursing women — this is DHC's own statement and we repeat it as a hard boundary
- This is a food. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease, and it must not replace medication a doctor has prescribed — changing or stopping treatment is a decision for that doctor alone
- A Japanese FFC notification is the maker's own filing to the Consumer Affairs Agency, accepted on the maker's responsibility and checked for form rather than individually examined. It is not a drug approval, and it carries no regulatory standing in the EU, the UK or elsewhere
- If you are being treated for anything, or take any medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist before starting — and if you feel unwell while taking it, stop and speak to a doctor
- Contains fish (bonito). Check the ingredient list against your own allergies before use
- Keep to one tablet a day. Store away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, and keep out of reach of children
Package Contents
One pouch: 30 tablets, 9.0 g net — a 30-day course at the daily guideline of one tablet. The pouch is labelled in Japanese; this page carries the full translated declaration.

FAQ
I take medication for blood pressure. Can I take this instead?
No. This is a food, not a medicine, and it is not a substitute for prescribed treatment. DHC states plainly that the product was not developed for people with a diagnosed illness. If you are on treatment and want to add a supplement, that is a question for the doctor who prescribed it.
What exactly did DHC notify to the Japanese authority?
That the product contains GABA and bonito-derived elastin peptide; that GABA is reported to lower high blood pressure in people whose blood pressure is high; and that bonito elastin peptide is reported to maintain the flexibility of blood vessels, meaning the degree of dilation after a vessel has been constricted, which declines with age. That filing is the maker's responsibility and was not individually examined by the Commissioner.
Is the elastin peptide from tuna?
No — it is from bonito, katsuo in Japanese, the fish also used for dashi stock. Bonito and tuna are different fish. Either way, the peptide is fish-derived, so the product is not suitable if you have a fish allergy.
Will I feel anything, and how would I know it is working?
You will not feel a tablet like this. The only meaningful feedback is your own blood-pressure readings, taken the same way at the same time of day over weeks — and interpreted with your doctor, not by us.
Is this the original Japanese product, and how long does delivery take?
Yes: we stock the Japanese retail version of 高めの血圧対策 and ship it from Kobe with tracking. Processing takes 2–6 business days, then transit depends on the service chosen at checkout. Import duties and taxes may apply depending on your country.
