Health Disclaimer

Not medical advice

DeepArch Co., Ltd. is not a medical organization, and Makuro does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The information, calorie and macronutrient targets, expenditure figures, and other outputs in the app are for general informational and educational purposes only, and are not a substitute for the advice of a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other healthcare professional.

Estimates, not guarantees

Makuro’s numbers are estimates derived from the information you enter and from statistical models. They are based on your input — not on a medical examination, a review of your health history, or an individualized clinical assessment — and we cannot guarantee their accuracy, safety, or nutritional adequacy for you. Results vary from person to person, and no particular outcome is promised.

Consult a professional first

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any significant change to your diet, nutrition, or activity based on the app — and before starting if you have any doubt about whether it is appropriate for you.

Special situations

Do not use Makuro to guide your intake without professional supervision if any of the following apply to you. Please speak to a healthcare professional first if you:

• are pregnant or breastfeeding;
• are taking medication or have a medical condition affected by diet (for example diabetes, kidney, heart, or thyroid conditions);
• have, or have ever had, an eating disorder or a disordered relationship with food, or are at risk of one;
• are recovering from illness, surgery, or injury.

If you are struggling with disordered eating, please reach out to a professional or a support organization in your country. Calorie tracking is not appropriate for everyone.

Assumption of risk

Changing your diet and physical activity carries inherent risks. By using Makuro you acknowledge those risks and agree that you are responsible for your own health decisions and for how you use the app’s information.

Who it’s for

Makuro is intended for generally healthy adults aged 17 and older. It is not designed for children, or for clinical or medically supervised use.

In an emergency

Makuro is not for emergencies. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your doctor or local emergency services immediately.
