What are lactic acid bacteria produced substances?
"Lactic acid bacteria" and "Lactic acid bacteria-produced substances"
Fungi have been living on Earth since ancient times, long before we were born.
Lactic acid bacteria are included in these. The usefulness of lactic acid bacteria is recognized worldwide, and researchers from all walks of life are currently exploring their potential.
"Lactic acid bacteria" refers to the bacteria themselves, but Nippon Bio Co., Ltd.'s "lactic acid bacteria production substances" are produced by fermenting multiple effective bacterial species co-cultured in a plant-based medium. They are literally "substances produced" by lactic acid bacteria. It is already common knowledge that lactic acid bacteria are good for the body, but the usefulness of "lactic acid bacteria production substances" works on the body through a different system than the benefits that lactic acid bacteria bring to our bodies. This mechanism is called "biogenics," and this is a field that is still being researched, with great expectations and potential that are in the process of expanding greatly in the future.
As for traditional culture media, we have focused on plant-based media that are more suitable for Japanese people, and have devoted all our research to cultivating lactic acid bacteria that is more suited to Japanese people (and to people on Earth).We have sought out Japan's leading researchers in lactic acid bacteria culture, and have achieved many successes.
For example, even with turmeric grown in the south, which has such strong antibacterial properties that it was said to be impossible to ferment using lactic acid bacteria, we were granted a manufacturing patent after the tireless efforts of our research staff. We also believe that we have taken the path of appropriate fermentation, with a proven track record, by cultivating plants that are said to be good for health at higher densities using human-derived lactic acid bacteria and plant-derived lactic acid bacteria.
This has also been a success story for various regions, companies, and organizations. We believe it is the fruit of the efforts of researchers with outstanding track records who have gathered in Japan Bio and competed to achieve results.
Japan Bio is still a small organization, but we are determined to work hard to achieve lifelong health and happiness for many people.
Plant-derived lactic acid bacteria-produced substances
When we hear the word "lactic acid bacteria," we tend to think of the lactic acid bacteria found in milk or yogurt, but the Japanese are a people whose history has been based on plants as their staple food since ancient times. They are a people who have thrived thanks to the benefits of fermented soybeans, including grains, as well as familiar products such as soy sauce, miso, and tofu.
When considering the selection of a culture medium for producing "lactic acid bacteria production substances," we came to the conclusion that soybeans, which are closely related to the lives of Japanese people and have contributed to their health, should be used as the culture medium.
Seeds, including soybeans, contain concentrated elements that are the source of life, and are truly the source of life itself.
Therefore, we performed symbiotic culture fermentation using lactic acid bacteria (such as E. faecalis) and yeast (such as S. cerevisiae).
The secreted substances (oligosaccharides, organic acids, amino acids, peptides, soybean-derived components, etc.) and bacterial components (polysaccharides, nucleic acids, etc.) produced by the symbiotic culture were extracted without leaving any residue, and manufactured and commercialized. The manufacturing method is unique and various patent applications have been filed.
At the same time, we also conducted research into the lactic acid bacteria products that we had successfully produced.
As a result, its main effects have been recognized, including the prevention and improvement of gastrointestinal diseases, intestinal regulation, prevention of intestinal aging, immune regulation, anti-allergy and metabolic syndrome improvement, blood cholesterol lowering, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure regulation, blood flow improvement, and menopausal disorder improvement.The results of this research have been presented at various academic conferences.
The expected future of lactic acid bacteria-produced substances
As the term "plant-based lactic acid bacteria" becomes more widely used these days, new research results are being published one after another to reveal its potential.
The basis for a healthy body is a properly functioning system of digestion, absorption, synthesis, and excretion. Based on this idea, we have specialized in "lactic acid bacteria," and since the time when the concept that "lactic acid bacteria cannot affect the human body unless they are alive" was established, we have been committed to "high-density lactic acid bacteria" and "biogenics," and have been conducting daily research.
For all those who live a "healthy and beautiful" life,
We believe that the research we have accumulated will be turned into products with the necessary backing, delivered to you, and that their usefulness will lead to the opening of new lactic acid bacteria-produced substances in the future.
