---------------------------------------------------------------------【Additional Information】Survival Foods® Supplements are long-term stored products 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 centered on carbohydrates. Survival Foods® Supplements help efficiently balance nutrient intake 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 created Japan’s long-term storage food market for nearly half a century, collaborated with Healthy Pass Co., Ltd., a professional supplement manufacturer aiming to promote nutritional therapy. These emergency long-term storage supplements are designed to help maintain health as if in normal daily life during disasters.
POINT 2:【7-year long-term storage】Most common supplements have a shelf life of about 2 years, because vitamins and minerals are micro-nutrients measured in micrograms (1g/1,000,000) or milligrams (1g/1,000). Their levels diminish over time, and they are very sensitive to moisture and heat, making storage at room temperature difficult. We have optimized packaging and vitamin/mineral amounts, conducted long-term stability tests, and confirmed minimal nutrient loss over years. Ultimately, we succeeded in developing 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 to meet emergency nutritional needs】Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, research on emergency nutrition has advanced, with many academic presentations. Based on these findings 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 as nutrients that need to be supplemented to prevent deficiencies, along with 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 weighted averages considering population structure from the 2010 Census (Kumamoto Prefecture), these values are established.Source: "Guidelines for Appropriate Nutritional Management in Emergency Meal 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 nutritional benefits. They are a type of health food regulated under standards ensuring safety and efficacy 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 diet with the five major nutrients—carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, and vitamins—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 regulate body condition.
- Disaster Diets Are Carbohydrate-CentricVitamins and minerals are often deficient in normal diets, and even more so during disasters when 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 about 1 to 2 weeks for normal logistics and recovery to resume after a disaster.
- Imbalanced Nutrition Harms HealthOur bodies maintain health through daily maintenance based on nutrients from food. Deficiencies manifest as health changes, which can persist and impact overall health if prolonged.
- Supplements Are Efficient in EmergenciesUsing supplements during disasters helps correct nutrient imbalances caused by limited resources. Survival Foods® Supplements support health and facilitate a smooth return to normal life.
- 1 in 10 People Are Starting to Stockpile SupplementsWhile stockpiling emergency food is common, how many consider nutritional balance? 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. Among these, 11.6% (349 people) also stockpiled supplements or health foods. This indicates that one in ten people has begun supplement stockpiling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------【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 7 specified raw materials required to be labeled as allergenic foods, nor the additional 21 items recommended for labeling.
Q2. They are labeled for emergency use, but should I avoid taking them regularly?Emergency use is an extension of daily life. If you feel vitamins or minerals are lacking in your regular diet, it is recommended to take these supplements regularly, even 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 with consistent quality throughout all processes, 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 initial emergency response, considering nutritional balance may be most disrupted during the first week, so you might consider providing each household with one box per person, enough for about a week for four people.
Q6. How should I store the supplements?Supplements are sensitive to direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity (such as in cars, bags, or near water in kitchens). Survival Foods® Supplements are designed for better shelf stability, but to maintain long-term quality, store in a cool (15–30°C), dry (40–60% humidity) environment away from direct sunlight. After opening, seal the bag tightly and consume as soon as possible. Also, avoid storing near water or in places where condensation may occur, such as near cooking areas.
