Strong Wakamoto is a gastrointestinal remedy with 3 functions: Digestive aid, intestinal regulation, and nutritional supplementation.
- Why is Aspergillus oryzae NK good for the digestive system?
Aspergillus oryzae NK is a strain of microorganism which has been used
by Japanese brewers of sake and soy sauce from the ancient past.
Wakamoto Pharmaceutical uses the strain to produce digestive enzymes
exclusively developed by the company. When this microorganism is
cultured on rice or wheat germ, the nutrients in the grain germ are
utilized to produce various digestive enzymes. These enzymes aid the
stomach in digestion.
- Why is it effective on both constipation and loose stools?
For constipation, the lactic acid produced by lactic acid bacteria
stimulate the intestinal walls, promoting peristaltic movement of the
intestinal tract to regulate bowel movement. Also, the dietary fiber
contained in the grain germ and yeast absorb the moisture in the
intestine to increase stool volume, aiding in passing the stool. For
loose stools, the imbalance of intestinal flora caused by the
proliferation of “bad” bacteria is corrected and normalized by
lactobacilli, which are “good” bacteria. This helps to improve loose
stools.
- Why is yeast good for the body?
The yeast contained in “Strong Wakamoto” and “Granule Wakamoto” is
brewer’s yeast, used for fermenting beer. It is dried after being
separated from the fermented beer. This yeast contains amino acids (16
amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids which cannot be
produced in the body), minerals (7 minerals including iron, calcium, and
magnesium), and vitamins (9 vitamins including vitamin B1). These
supplement the body with nutrients.
