Japanese Supplements/Medicines

My friend went back to Japan today and had too many things to take back, and left me with her huge assortment of various preventitive sickness supplements. I don't care much for these things, but she told me they were not strong, and I am not one to through away and am interested in using them. I was wondering if someone could give me some more information. I have two piles:
JPS J-01: This is a mix. EKT-25: These are tablets in threes.

If I'm reading it right, "JPS J-01" is Kakkontou - is it granulated medicine? If so, it's originally Chinese herbal medicine having the effect of mitigating the early inflammatory symptoms of common cold, such as feverishness or stiff muscles. http://www.health.ne.jp/medicine/rx/5200013D1093.html"EKT-25" is probably another Chinese medicine good for, um, menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, any way, that kind of female symptoms. http://kakaku.journal.mycom.co.jp/item_info/20327661950...The reason why you don't find them "strong" is because (particularly the second one) is more for long-term mitigation, rather than quickly helping with the symptoms.

Well, I haven't used either yet, but I certainly do not need the menstrual pain one. Are they made up of more vitamins and minerals, or is it specific to women? It may be harmful for a man to use them.
I just am not big on tossing things out.
