About
Tanita develops precision scales and body composition monitors that measure body fat, muscle mass, water content, and metabolic rate. These devices use bioelectrical impedance analysis, a method Tanita pioneered, to deliver reliable data for home and professional use. The company supports measured health tracking through software that stores trends and generates reports.
Products range from consumer bathroom scales to professional analyzers like the TBF-400, which provides 10 key metrics in seconds. Tanita Pro software enables tracking of client progress for trainers and clinicians, with options for customized outputs. This integrated approach helps users build sustainable habits based on personal data.
With manufacturing in Japan and China, Tanita maintains strict quality control and global distribution. The focus remains on innovative measurements, such as muscle quality and metabolic age, to inform strategic health decisions.
