Telecube, Inc. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku Tokyo, President: Hiroyuki Mashita) and Nestlé Japan Ltd. (Head office: Kobe-shi Hyogo, President and CEO: Tatsuhiko Fukaya, hereinafter "Nestlé") will open " MILO Iron Help Telecube" on the basement floor of Shin-Marunouchi Building from August 8 (Mon.) to September 2 (Fri.), 2022, as a collaboration between " MILO" , a nutritional food rich in calcium, iron and vitamin D developed by Nestlé, and " Telecube" , a movable private booth in Shin- Marunouchi Building.
At the " MILO Iron Help Telecube" , visitors will be able to check their average daily iron intake and personalize their iron intake by taking the " Iron Intake Check" in the booth, and take home a box of " Nestlé MILO Original Sticks" .

" MILO" is a product primarily intended for use as a nutritional supplement for growing children (7- 12 years old). Since 2020, the nutrients contained in " MILO" , especially iron, which women tend to lack, have been attracting attention, and " MILO" is now consumed by a wide range of people, from children to adults.
Nestlé has noticed that iron intake tends to be deficient among women of almost all ages (*Reference data) and in October 2021, implemented the "MILO Iron Helpers" program using a kitchen car to sell menus designed by students of Kagawa Nutrition University and provide "nutritional advice".
In March 2022, Nestlé installed a "MILO Iron Help Vending Machine", which allows customers to check their iron deficiency and purchase a mug set, and many people experienced the nutritional value and enjoyment of "MILO" through this limited-time trial. (*Reference data)
For this third trial, in collaboration with "Telecube", which has the No.1 market share (*2) in terms of the number of soundproof private booths, "MILO Iron Help Telecube" will be installed in Marunouchi, with its green wrapping that unintentionally attracts passersby's attention. This project was made possible by the resonance between Nestlé, which hopes to incorporate "MILO" into the health management of many people suffering from iron deficiency, and "Telecube", which wants to expand the range of users of its movable private booths.

The "MILO Iron Help Telecube" is part of the "Healthy Body and Mind Project" being promoted by Nestlé and Telecube, and the two companies plan to continue to implement a variety of initiatives in the future.
■ In summer, you need to be careful not only about heat stroke but also about "iron" deficiency!
The "MILO Iron Help Telecube" raises awareness of the importance of iron intake in summer, when the diet and nutritional balance tends to be unbalanced due to the loss of minerals caused by sweating in the heat and the lack of intake of meat, fish and vegetables, which are sources of iron, one of the minerals. By reading the dedicated QR code posted in the booth with your smartphone or other device and performing the "Iron Intake Check", you will be able to know your average daily iron intake and personalize your iron intake. Those who complete the "Iron Intake Check" can receive a box of "Nestlé MILO Original Sticks" to take home.
＜ Flow of "Iron Intake Check"＞
Supervisor's Comment: Dr. Kazuhiro Uenishi (Professor, Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology, School of Nutrition, Kagawa Nutrition University )
It may not be a familiar and simple method to determine the status of iron deficiency with data and to enlighten the public. Therefore, we supervised the development of "iron" intake check contents that visualize assumed "iron" intake by referring to the frequency of food intake. This is a tool to personalize your "iron" intake by converting the average daily intake of 10 typical foods related to "iron" intake based on the number of times you have consumed these foods in the past 3 days. We hope that you will find it useful in your daily diet, based on a well-balanced diet.

Iron is a nutrient necessary for the production of red blood cells. The recommended daily amount of iron is 7.5 mg for men and 10.5 mg for women (*4), which is higher for women. In reality, however, the average intake (*5) of iron tends to be insufficient compared to the recommended amount for women of all ages from their 20s to 50s. In particular, the difference is greatest among women in their 20s, and it can be said that many are iron-deficient without even realizing it.
Iron is a nutrient that cannot be produced in the body, so to compensate for iron deficiency, it is important to eat iron-rich foods on a continuous basis in your daily diet.

■ About "Nestlé MILO", a barley beverage
"MILO" is sold in more than 30 countries around the world, and is a daily drink as a national beverage especially in Asian countries such as Malaysia. In Japan, this barley drink has been sold for more than 40 years since it was launched in 1973 with the catchphrase "MILO for the Strong Child". The product name comes from Milon, a champion athlete in Greek mythology dating back to around 600 BC. This barley drink contains a good balance of nutrients necessary not only for growing children but also for adults, including two minerals (calcium and iron) and six vitamins (vitamins B2, B6, B12, D, C, and niacin), which are often lacking in modern people in good balance.
On October 18(Mon.), 2011, "Nestle MILO adult sweetness 200g" was launched as a less- sweetened version of "MILO", allowing those who are concerned about sugar to enjoy the taste of "MILO". While maintaining the features of the existing "MILO", which contains a good balance of two minerals and six vitamins, including calcium, iron, and vitamin D, some of the sugar used has been replaced with dietary fiber. Featuring the nutrients of "MILO" and the good compatibility of dietary fiber, this product should be incorporated into your daily health routine.

A limited time event was held to propose the incorporation of "MILO", a food with nutrient functionality rich in calcium, iron, and vitamin D, into daily health habits.
