---------------------------------------------------------------------【Additional Information】Survival Foods® Supplements are long-term stored supplements designed for health during emergencies, with a shelf life of 7 years.
In disaster situations, foods distributed at shelters are mainly processed foods with long shelf lives. Typical emergency foods include dried bread, canned bread, alpha rice, crackers, and sweets—primarily carbohydrates. During such times, fresh meat and vegetables are scarce, leading to a diet mainly composed of carbohydrates. Survival Foods® Supplements help efficiently balance nutrition during shelter life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------【Three Key Points of Survival Foods® Supplements】POINT 1:【Collaboration between disaster prevention and nutrition experts】Recognizing the need for "delicious stockpile food," Seienta Enterprise Co., Ltd., which has pioneered Japan’s long-term storage food market for nearly half a century, collaborated with Healthy Pass Inc., a professional supplement manufacturer aiming to promote nutritional therapy. This long-term emergency supplement was developed to help maintain health as in daily life during disasters.
POINT 2:【7-year long-term storage】Most supplements have a shelf life of about 2 years. Since vitamins and minerals are micro-nutrients measured in micrograms (1g = 1,000,000 micrograms) or milligrams (1g = 1,000 milligrams), their levels tend to diminish over time, and they are very sensitive to moisture and heat, making storage at room temperature difficult. We optimized packaging materials and vitamin/mineral amounts, conducted long-term stability tests over several years, and confirmed minimal nutrient loss. As a result, we successfully developed supplements that can be stored for 7 years while maintaining sufficient vitamin and mineral levels for emergency use.
POINT 3:【Designed as Nutritional Functional Foods for Emergency Nutrition】Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, research on emergency diets and nutrition has advanced, with many academic societies publishing findings. Based on these results and Healthy Pass’s extensive experience in supplement development, we designed the necessary nutrient amounts for emergencies, resulting in two types of supplements: multivitamins & minerals and vitamin C.The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare provides reference values for nutrition in emergency meal planning at shelters. These include calcium, vitamin A, and iron to prevent deficiencies, and specific amounts for energy and key nutrients. Survival Foods® Supplements are formulated as Nutritional Functional Foods (containing vitamins B1, B2, C, and iron) to support health during emergencies.
Based on the Japanese Dietary Reference Intakes (2015 edition) and population data from the 2010 Census (Kumamoto Prefecture), weighted averages were used to determine nutrient levels.Source: "Guidelines for Appropriate Nutritional Management in Emergency Food Provision" (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, June 6, 2016)
- What are Nutritional Functional Foods?Foods used to supplement specific nutrients, with function labels indicating their benefits. They are a type of health food that complies with safety and efficacy standards set by the government. For more details, see the Consumer Affairs Agency’s page on Nutritional Functional Foods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------【Why Supplements Are Necessary for Disaster Stockpiling】- Balance of the Five Major Nutrients Builds HealthA balanced intake of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, and vitamins—the five major nutrients—is ideal for maintaining health. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are the macronutrients providing energy essential for survival. Fats, proteins, and minerals form bones, tissues, muscles, and blood. Vitamins and minerals support the functions of other nutrients and help keep the body in good condition.
- Disaster Diets Are Carbohydrate-CentricIn emergencies, diets tend to be deficient in vitamins and minerals, especially since emergency foods are mainly carbohydrates. Shelter life or home evacuation can last from about one month to half a year, sometimes up to a year. It takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks for normal life to resume after logistics are restored.
- Imbalanced Nutrition Harms HealthOur bodies maintain health through daily nutrient intake. Deficiencies manifest as health issues over time, and prolonged imbalance can impact overall health.
- Using Supplements During Emergencies Is EfficientTo correct nutritional imbalances during resource-scarce disasters, using supplements helps efficiently restore nutrient balance. Survival Foods® Supplements support health and facilitate a smooth return to normal life.
- 1 in 10 People Are Starting to Stockpile SupplementsWhile stockpiling emergency foods is common, how many consider nutritional aspects? According to a 2021 survey by the Consumer Affairs Agency, among 3,000 people aged 20–60 nationwide, 83.9% stockpiled drinking water, 65.0% dried noodles or cup noodles, 64.6% canned foods, and 56.5% retort foods. Notably, 11.6% (349 people) also stockpile supplements or health foods. This indicates that approximately 1 in 10 people has begun stockpiling supplements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------【Frequently Asked Questions about Survival Foods® Supplements】Q1. Are there any ingredients that might cause food allergies?Survival Foods® Supplements do not contain any of the seven specified raw materials required to be labeled as allergenic foods, nor do they include the 21 other items recommended for labeling.
Q2. Since it’s labeled for emergency use, should I avoid taking it regularly?Emergency supplements are an extension of daily health management. If you feel you are lacking vitamins or minerals in your regular diet, it is recommended to take them regularly, including during non-emergency times.
Q3. Are Survival Foods® Supplements manufactured domestically?All our supplements are produced in Japan at GMP-certified factories. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards ensure products are made safely and maintain consistent quality throughout all stages, from raw material intake to shipping. Raw materials are sourced globally.
Q4. Do the supplements contain additives?Capsules and tablets labeled as supplements generally require additives for manufacturing. Survival Foods® Supplements use only the minimum necessary additives: Maltitol, Calcium stearate, Fine silica, Cellulose, HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose), Dextrin.
Q5. I have a family of four. How much should I prepare? (How many servings per box?)Each box contains 90 capsules of Multivitamins & Minerals or Vitamin C. Taking 3 capsules per day per person, one box lasts about 30 days for one person. Since shelter life after a disaster can last from one month to half a year, it is recommended to prepare one box per person. For a family, considering that nutritional imbalance may occur within the first week, you might consider preparing enough for 4 people for one week (i.e., 4 servings), and each household should have at least one box per person.
Q6. How should I store the supplements?Supplements are sensitive to direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity (inside cars, bags, near water sources like kitchens). Although we have improved shelf stability, to maintain long-term storage, keep in a cool (15–30°C), dry (40–60% humidity) environment away from direct sunlight. After opening, close the zipper tightly and consume as soon as possible. Also, avoid storing near water or in places where condensation may occur.
