1. Mozuku extract (fucoidan)
It is a high-molecular polysaccharide, a slimy component found in mozuku, kelp, and other seaweeds (brown algae). It is also a water-soluble dietary fiber.
Among them, Okinawa mozuku, which is grown in the Okinawa region, is rich in high-quality fucoidan. Fucoidan is currently being widely researched and is a functional ingredient that is attracting attention and its various physiological activities have been published.
2. Scallop extract (plasmalogen)
"Plasmalogen" is a member of the lipid family that plays an important role in the living body. It is an important component that protects biological membranes that support life activities from oxidation and maintains cell functions.
Plasmalogen is a component that decreases with age, and it has been found that it is important for brain function and is related to Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have shown that oral intake of plasmalogen improves cognitive function (memory) and increases blood plasmalogen concentration.
Plasmalogens are widely distributed in animals, but plasmalogens derived from scallops are mainly composed of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and are presumed to be more functional and are brain foods of note.
3． Lactic Acid Bacteria Metabolites
Lactic Acid Bacteria Metabolites general term for substances produced by a group of lactic acid bacteria called useful bacteria, and refer not to the lactic acid bacteria themselves, but to the substances produced and secreted by lactic acid bacteria during fermentation.
It is an essential substance for humans to live a healthy life, and is produced every day by the beneficial bacteria group in the intestinal bacteria that has lived in your intestines since birth. It is mainly produced by bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria.
Lactic acid bacteria metabolites are also called "Biogenics'' and they maintain a normal balance of intestinal bacteria and maintain human health.
Although Lactic Acid Bacteria Metabolites can be produced inside the body, production becomes more difficult as the number of useful bacteria in the intestines decreases with age, so "lactic acid bacteria metabolites" made exclusively from beneficial bacteria using dairy products and soybeans outside the body are attracting attention. This is a new raw material that gathers the fermentation power of lactic acid bacteria, rather than using the bacteria themselves as a raw material as in the past.
4. Brown rice enzyme (live enzyme)
Brown rice enzyme is a natural food made by fermenting the rice bran and germ of brown rice using koji mold, and contains enzymes, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc. in a well-balanced manner.
Fermentation produces many enzymes and makes it easier to absorb the nutrients in the rice bran germ.
By eating brown rice, you can create a base that maintains your health. However, there are difficulties in digestion and absorption. Brown rice enzymes make it easier to absorb the nutrients in brown rice, which are difficult to absorb, through fermentation, and increase the nutrients.
5. Ascophyllan HS
Ascophyllan is extracted and manufactured from a seaweed called Ascophyllum nodosum that grows mainly along the North Atlantic coast. This seaweed is a large seaweed that can grow up to 2 meters long, and is used as a food source and is a highly safe raw material.
Ascophyllan has been shown to have the potential to control immune cells and help prevent infections such as pneumonia.
It has also been reported that it stimulates not only immune cells but also intestinal cells to produce intestinal hormones, and is also expected to have the effect of suppressing increases in blood sugar levels.
6. Bonito elastin
Elastin is a type of protein that is widely distributed in tissues that require elasticity, such as the skin, blood vessels, and ligaments, and has the function of providing elasticity.
Collagen is widely known as a beauty ingredient that maintains skin firmness, and elastin plays an important role in supporting collagen.
It has also been shown to have anti-aging effects on blood vessels and stabilizing joints.
7. Fermented ancient rice(Oryzalose🄬)
Oryzalose🄬 is a luminacoid derived from rice bran of purple black rice, a type of ancient rice.It is high in hemicellulose, a type of dietary fiber.And it hydrolyzes hemi-cellulose,it is then hydrolyzed to low molecular weight and further fermented with yeast to become a complex of low molecular weight arabinoxylan, arabinogalactan, arabinan, arabinoxygalactan, and other sugar chains.
Oryzalose has been shown in small intestinal models to be absorbed from the intestinal tract after ingestion and is said to activate immune cells.
It is a remarkable ingredient that is said to have immune-enhancing and antioxidant properties, and to be able to create ingredients that enhance vitality.
Oryzalose is a food ingredient that can enhance the biological regulatory function, a tertiary food function, by eating it, which is an inherent property of food.
7. Lactium (milk protein hydrolysates)
The discovery of Lactium stemmed from a simple question: "Why do babies feel at ease when they drink their mother's breast milk?''
After many years of research and development, it was discovered that a specific peptide (decapeptide) made by hydrolyzing milk protein has a relaxing and sleep-inducing effect.
Lacium is a milk protein hydrolyzate containing bioactive decapeptide, which is effective in relaxing and relieving stress.
And as a relieving effect on various stress-related symptoms, it increases blood pressure, suppresses food intake, feels deep sleep, improves sleep time and sleep efficiency, reduces time to fall asleep, sleep disorders and daytime dysfunctions, improves emotional instability, weight management, and relationship problems (decreased libido, etc.), and it is expected to be effective in relieving stress such as digestive disorders due to chronic stress, chronic pain, memory impairment and concentration disorder (ADHD), and is a gentle material for women and children.
