COMPANY PROFILE
Realizing "active healthy longevity society" by creating medicines to solve the walking function deterioration due to aging
Elixir Pharma was established in 2020 and tackles developing a natural peptide found at Osaka University in order to treat various diseases associated with muscle loss, damage, fibrosis, etc.
So far, we have been researching and developing a therapeutic agent for "sarcopenia".
In sarcopenia, excessive muscle atrophy due to aging results in motor function deterioration, such as gait disturbance, but we don't have any therapeutic drug other than nutrition therapy or exercise therapy so far.
We all can't walk, are bedridden lastly, and must spend the last decade of our lives. And everyone thinks this is common sense.
However Elixir Pharma aims to bring happy active lifestyles to the golden years and change this common sense globally.
With the mission, which is “Eliminating this last 10 years”, we are making forward our business and would like to bring "more active health and longevity" for humankinds.
