Dr.
Hagiwara, Green Foods' Founder
Dr.
Yoshihide Hagiwara, a world-renowned scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur,
graduated from Kumamoto University in Japan as a research pharmacologist.
Early in his career, Dr. Hagiwara developed several highly successful
drug formulas, becoming the owner of a leading Japanese pharmaceutical
company.
As Dr. Hagiwara grew aware of the problems caused by the many chemicals
used in modern medicine, he vowed to devote his life to a natural nutritional
approach to health. After years of research on over 200 types of plants,
including fruits, vegetables, grasses, and herbs, he found that "young
barley grass is one of the most nutritionally balanced foods in nature."
In order to capture and protect the delicate nutrients and enzymes in
freshly harvested young barley grass, he developed a unique extraction
and spray-dry process that earned him Japan's prestigious Science and
Technology Award. This process makes possible our powdered, nutrient-rich
Green Magma®.
We devote ourselves to overcoming disease and helping to bring about a healthy, prosperous and peaceful world.
We hold the leading position in our industry by originating and developing superior products.
We maintain an organization of skilled, talented and highly motivated people who share these goals and work together loyally, cooperatively and courteously.
We find happiness by understanding our role in society, being constantly aware of our responsibilities, and appreciating the contributions we are able to make.
We explore our dreams and utilize our creativity to the fullest, as we work to advance the spiritual, as well as the physical well-being of the world.
