Recent findings of health‐promotional effects of phytonutrients are globally recognized. Many of them are related to the age‐related symptoms and may be useful for super‐aging society and its related social issues. We would like to make phytonutrient as the first value of people's health for consumers and scientists, as a part of daily life based upon scientific evidence. Objective of GPS is to promote usefulness of phytonutrients based on advanced scientific evidence from the world; to utilize promising phytonutrients applying to super‐aging society; to link to global leading experts and societies; to collaborate with governmental scientific organizations in major regions; and to establish global subsidiaries in the future. Our goal is that botanicals, especially sources phytonutrients, are universally accepted by policy makers, regulators, academia and consumers for use in supplements/health foods and as essential choice to achieve optimal health.
