ANBAS Corp.

ANBAS Corp. (株式会社ANBAS, pronounced "Anbas") is a Japanese life-science company headquartered in Kita-ku, Osaka. It was established on 3 April 2007 and is led by its representative director Katsuya Nagai, a medical doctor whose research background lies in physiology. The company describes itself as the world's only firm that, based on more than thirty years of research at Osaka University, conducts commissioned tests measuring changes in the autonomic nervous activity that controls individual organs and tissues, in order to clarify the physiological effects of health foods, aroma products, cosmetics and pharmaceutical agents. ANBAS's core technology is electrophysiological measurement of autonomic nervous system activity. Rather than waiting for long-term changes in whole-body physiological indicators such as blood pressure, body temperature or blood glucose, the company measures the electrical activity of the autonomic nerves directly. Because the autonomic nervous system responds quickly, this allows functional evaluation of a substance in a short time and makes screening of many fractions or candidate ingredients easier. The company argues that since the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system move in the same direction in response to a stimulus, measuring autonomic activity alone can reveal the direction of a physiological change. Its service lines include commissioned testing, lectures and seminars (for example an annual physiology course), academic paper writing and conference presentation support, patent-related work, and health consultation. The company states that it has published more than sixty original research papers since its founding. It also has a research collaboration agreement with the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research. Beyond contract research, ANBAS sells essential oils from Laboratoire Roger Davenness of France under an exclusive domestic distribution arrangement that began in 2015, and it develops and offers its own products based on neural activity research, including the DONASILVA line. The company's stated mission includes promoting correct aromatherapy using unadulterated essential oils. Its capital is 90,000,000 yen, and its office is on the third floor of the Showa Sekkei Osaka Building in Toyosaki, Kita-ku, Osaka.

ANBAS Corp. was established on 3 April 2007 in Japan, building on more than thirty years of research conducted at Osaka University. The company was founded to commercialize a method of measuring autonomic nervous system activity as a fast and reliable way to evaluate the physiological effects of substances such as drugs, foods and aroma products. Its representative director is Katsuya Nagai, a medical doctor. In 2013 the company relocated its head office. In 2015 it began manufacturing and selling essential oils, entering an exclusive domestic distribution arrangement for the essential oils of Laboratoire Roger Davenness, a laboratory near Avignon, France. The company states that it has published more than sixty original research papers since its founding and that it has a joint research agreement with the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research. It also develops products based on neural activity research, including the DONASILVA line, and runs seminars and lectures, including an annual physiology course.
