Why it was created

Five botanicals.
One measured daily ritual.

SIRTMAX® places a proprietary 100 mg black-turmeric extract at the centre of a formula designed for professionally guided, glucose-conscious wellness routines.

Bitter melon, Salacia, organic mulberry leaf and Banaba complete the botanical architecture, with every principal ingredient quantified per daily serving.

Ingredient research · SIRT1 context

A botanical signature.
A research pathway.

The black-turmeric ingredient provides a research link to SIRT1 within a broader five-botanical formula.

YOTSUBA JAPAN FORMULA STUDY
SIRTMAX® is the formula’s proprietary Kaempferia parviflora extract. Polymethoxyflavonoids are characterised in ingredient research. The composition is not interchangeable with culinary turmeric. SIRT1 is an enzyme involved in cellular regulation. Ingredient-specific findings and their limitations are reviewed in the evidence section. Illustrative ingredient study. Shapes and movement are simplified; product evidence is reviewed separately.SIRT1

SIRTMAX® · black turmericOfficial ingredient record

Developer overview of SIRTMAX®

Tokiwa Phytochemical identifies SIRTMAX® as its black-turmeric extract and summarises the ingredient's SIRT1-related research. This is first-party manufacturer material, not independent proof of a clinical outcome.

SIRTMAX® · black turmericMechanistic study

A defined polymethoxyflavonoid and human SIRT1

A 2021 Communications Biology paper reported direct activation of human SIRT1 by a defined polymethoxyflavonoid from Kaempferia parviflora. This is mechanistic evidence, not a clinical outcome trial of the finished formula.

SIRTMAX® · black turmericRandomised human study

100 mg daily in a small crossover trial

A 27-participant, double-blind crossover study evaluated 100 mg of SIRTMAX® for seven weeks and reported changes in body weight and fasting glucose. Its size and design require cautious interpretation; it did not test this complete five-botanical product.

SIRTMAX® · black turmericRandomised human study

SIRT1 expression in an 8-week ingredient study

A small double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 28 healthy Japanese adults evaluated 100 mg of a SIRTMAX®-containing preparation daily and reported increased SIRT1 mRNA expression. It was an ingredient study, not a trial of this complete formula.

Bitter melonRandomised human study

Bitter-gourd supplementation in prediabetes

A 2025 controlled study investigated a different bitter-gourd fruit preparation in adults with prediabetes. It helps frame ingredient research but is not equivalent to this 225 mg extract or the complete product.

Salacia reticulataRandomised human study

Salacia extract in a metabolic study

A small double-blind study assessed specified Salacia leaf and root-bark extracts in adults with type 2 diabetes. The preparation and dose differ from the Salacia ingredient used here.

Mulberry leafRandomised human study

DNJ-enriched mulberry leaf and meal response

A controlled study examined a DNJ-enriched mulberry leaf extract and post-meal glycaemic markers. SIRTMAX contains organic mulberry leaf powder, not the same standardised extract.

BanabaRandomised human study

Banaba in metabolic-syndrome research

A controlled clinical study evaluated a specified Banaba preparation in adults with metabolic syndrome. It is relevant to the botanical evidence landscape but does not establish an outcome for this finished product.

Frequently asked

Clear answers,
without overclaiming.

01What is SIRTMAX®?+

SIRTMAX® is a proprietary black-turmeric extract from Kaempferia parviflora developed by Tokiwa Phytochemical. The verified daily serving of this product supplies 100 mg.

02Does this product ‘raise sirtuins’?+

Ingredient research reports direct SIRT1 enzyme activation by a defined Kaempferia compound, while a separate small human ingredient study reported higher SIRT1 mRNA expression. This does not show a guaranteed rise in every sirtuin or establish an effect of the complete five-botanical formula.

03What is the daily serving?+

The current directions indicate three capsules daily with water or warm water, providing a 30-day supply.

04Can it be used with glucose-lowering medication?+

Anyone taking medication, including glucose-lowering medicines, or being treated for a medical condition should consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.

05Are the cited publications trials of this finished product?+

No. They concern SIRTMAX® as a separate ingredient or other botanical preparations. They do not establish a guaranteed outcome for the complete Yotsuba Japan formula.
