The Main Role of the Large Intestine

The human gut houses over 100 trillion microorganisms.

These microorganisms, known as "gut bacteria," consist of more than 1,000 different species. Gut health is determined by the balance of these bacteria, and about 70% of the immune cells in our body reside in the intestines. This means that maintaining gut health is essential for overall well-being.

Recommended for Those Experiencing:

  1. Irregular bowel movements
  2. Foul-smelling stool or gas
  3. Persistent skin issues
  4. Frequent colds
  5. Increased irritability
  6. No noticeable effects from probiotic supplements
  7. Dislike of fermented foods

If you identify with any of these, you may be lacking plant-based lactic acid bacteria.

How to Achieve an Ideal Gut Environment

Maintain a Golden Balance of Gut Bacteria

Good Bacteria: Beneficial bacteria that activate immunity and support overall health.
Bad Bacteria: Harmful bacteria that cause fermentation and produce toxins.
Opportunistic Bacteria: Neutral bacteria that align with the dominant group.

The ideal balance is said to be Good Bacteria:Bad Bacteria:Opportunistic Bacteria = 2:1:7. Instead of completely eliminating bad bacteria, it's important to maintain a healthy balance between all three types.

Why We Focus on Plant-Based Lactic Acid Bacteria

① Perfect for Japanese People Who Follow a Traditional Diet

For centuries, Japanese people have consumed fermented foods like pickles and miso as part of their diet. Plant-based lactic acid bacteria naturally thrive in these foods, helping to support a healthy gut.

Our Gut Bacteria Have Evolved Alongside Japanese Cuisine

Traditional Japanese food

Gut bacteria evolve with diet and vary by country. Japanese people's gut bacteria have adapted to traditional Japanese food, making plant-based lactic acid bacteria the most suitable for their digestive system.

Restoring the Gut Flora from Westernized Diets

Gut health image

With the shift from a grain- and vegetable-based Japanese diet to a more Western diet, maintaining a balanced gut flora has become increasingly difficult.

Focusing on the Lactic Acid Bacteria Japanese People Are Familiar With

When people think of lactic acid bacteria, they often associate it with yogurt. However, Japanese people have only started consuming yogurt regularly since the 1990s. Instead of relying on unfamiliar animal-based lactic acid bacteria, we believe that the plant-based lactic acid bacteria that have been part of Japanese diets for centuries are a better fit. That’s why we are committed to plant-based lactic acid bacteria.

② A Variety of Lactic Acid Bacteria Is Essential for Gut Health

Recent studies suggest that instead of competing, a balanced intake of both plant-based and animal-based lactic acid bacteria is crucial for a healthy gut.

Declining Consumption of Plant-Based Lactic Acid Bacteria

Compared to global averages, Japanese people consume relatively little lactic acid bacteria. In particular, the intake of plant-based lactic acid bacteria has declined due to dietary changes, while animal-based lactic acid bacteria consumption has increased.

Actively Incorporate Plant-Based Lactic Acid Bacteria

Restore the gut environment naturally

For optimal gut health, a diverse range of lactic acid bacteria is necessary. Increasing your intake of plant-based lactic acid bacteria can help restore balance.

Plant-Based Lactic Acid Bacteria from Carefully Selected Fermented Foods

The Gut Health Lactic Acid Bacteria Supplement is made entirely from plant-based lactic acid bacteria derived from traditional Japanese fermented foods. Additionally, it contains a generous amount of high-quality organic rice koji, which has been finely powdered. Rice koji contains over 30 types of enzymes that support the activity of lactic acid bacteria.

Key Points

1. Plant-based lactic acid bacteria thrive in traditional Japanese fermented foods and are essential for the gut health of Japanese people.
2. Due to the Westernization of dietary habits, the intake of plant-based lactic acid bacteria among Japanese people has decreased.
3. A diverse gut microbiota requires a balance of plant-based and animal-based lactic acid bacteria.

With "Gut Health Lactic Acid Bacteria Supplements" derived from Japanese fermented foods, you can easily replenish plant-based lactic acid bacteria.

Two capsules per day

Just two capsules a day! These supplements conveniently provide the plant-based lactic acid bacteria that may be lacking in daily meals.
Take two capsules (100mg) per day as a guideline. Since it's a food product, you can consume it anytime and in any way you prefer.

Start with a Two-Week Challenge!

Gut Health Image

Improving gut health doesn't happen overnight—it takes at least two weeks. Our bodies naturally resist sudden changes, gradually adjusting to restore a stable state. While you may not see immediate effects after taking lactic acid bacteria powder, this is completely normal. By continuing daily intake over the long term, you can achieve a healthier gut environment.

Doctors Also Feel the Effects

I have struggled with chronic constipation and relied on laxatives. However, laxatives caused abdominal pain and diarrhea, providing relief but not a natural bowel movement. "Gut Health Lactic Acid Bacteria Powder" helped restore my gut environment, promoting natural bowel movements without discomfort. Unlike medication, it doesn’t provide immediate effects, but by improving gut health from the ground up, it’s highly recommended for those who want to establish a consistent bowel movement rhythm. *This is an individual's experience, and results may vary.

3. Be Patient

Frequent changes in intake methods can make it hard to determine what works best. Take your time to find the right method for you.

Recommended Intake Timing

Upon Waking Up: Getting up stimulates peristalsis (gut movement), helping bowel movements. Taking it with warm water can awaken the gut, making it a great morning routine.

Person Image

During Breakfast

Introducing food into an empty stomach stimulates the colon, triggering the "gastrocolic reflex," which promotes bowel movement. Take it before or after meals.

Person Image

Before Bedtime

At night, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, activating the gut. Since "Gut Health Lactic Acid Bacteria Capsules" are low in calories, they can be taken safely at night.
