CARNOPOWER ENERGY will be on sale from Thursday, September 25, 2025.

CARNOPOWER ENERGY MELON SODA FLAVOR

CARNOPOWER ENERGY" is a gel-type supplement that allows easy ingestion of carnosine, an ingredient that supports carbohydrates and prolonged exercise. The product has been well received by many athletes due to its convenience of being taken quickly with one hand and being felt during sports activities, and sold out in only two months when it was launched in May 2024.

About the new "MELON SODA FLAVOR"

The new "MELON SODA FLAVOR" is characterized by its uniquely refreshing taste. The source of the flavor comes from the Chitose Plant in Hokkaido of Group company Hamari PFST Co.

The flavor is made from HAMARI MelonSui, a proprietary ingredient that is an upcycled melon flavor component that was previously discarded. This is achieved by utilizing water rich in aroma components obtained during the production of concentrated melon juice. The rich aroma components are more concentrated than in fruit juice, and you can enjoy the fresh, natural aroma of a real melon.

The refreshing taste, which is not too sweet, is ideal not only during sports, but also for all occasions when you want to refresh yourself. HAMARI Nutritional Science Corporation is committed to developing products that support athletes' performance from the perspective of sports nutrition and contribute to a sustainable society.

Development Background: Flavor Development in Response to Athletes' Voices

The "CARNOPOWER" series is used by many top athletes, including Yamato Yoshii of the Chuo University Ekiden team and Toyota Motor Corporation's long-distance track and field team. CARNOPOWER ENERGY" was developed in response to the request for a gel that can easily replenish energy during races.

The gel contains carnosine, an ingredient that supports recovery, in order to "not only replenish energy, but also to support the athlete in the latter half of the race.

In May 2024, we launched the standard "RAMUNE FLAVOR" and received high acclaim for its functionality. In December of the same year, "GINGER ALE FLAVOR" containing caffeine was released in response to requests from customers who wanted to reenergize their spirits in the latter half of the year when performance is lacking. This too was well received.

Now, HAMARI's proprietary technology and commitment to sustainability have given form to a third flavor, "MELON SODA FLAVOR". The refreshing taste will refresh you during your workout and help you "go the extra mile" in the second half of your workout.

The new "MELON SODA FLAVOR" is a refreshing drink for those who want to refresh themselves during the second half of a workout. The complete lineup supports performance in all situations.

Muscle Brain Peptide Carnosine

What is Muscle Brain Peptide Carnosine?

Carnosine, which is abundant in animal muscle, plays an important role in human muscle and brain. In addition to supporting performance during exercise, it is also effective in last spurt and post-workout recovery.

■Why is carnosine important?

Carnosine exists in human muscles and brain to support performance, but its concentration in the body decreases with eating habits and aging, so it is important to consciously and adequately supply it.

Continuous intake of carnosine is a remarkable ingredient that supports athletes' performance.

Why Choose Carnosine?

Carnosine is a type of ingredient called imidazole dipeptide. Among imidazole dipeptides, carnosine is the one that mainly exists and works in the human body. It is supported by athletes in many sports, including the track and field team of Chuo University.

■Safe quality made in Japan and manufactured in-house

Carnosine manufactured by HAMARI is produced under strict quality control in Japan. Imidazole dipeptide supplements are sold in Japan, but only HAMARI manufactures Carnosine, which exists mainly in the human body, in-house in Japan.

Contains palatinose for carbohydrates, an important source of energy

CarnoPower ENERGY" contains palatinose, which is absorbed slowly, in addition to fructose, which is quickly absorbed, as an energy source. This combination provides the ideal energy balance for endurance sports in particular.

What is palatinose?

Palatinose is one of the sugars found in nature, such as in honey. It has the same energy as common sugars (4 kcal/g), but is absorbed at a slower rate, about 1/5 that of sugar, helping to provide sustained energy.

It is suitable for nutritional supplementation during aerobic exercise because it prevents blood glucose levels from dropping during exercise, and is particularly effective for performance in endurance sports. It is an ideal carbohydrate for energy replenishment during long-duration sports.
