Refresh Your Day with the Power of Rice Bran!Rice bran is the part shaved off when polishing rice. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that aid digestion and metabolism, making it effective for dieting and beauty. Rice bran is the most nutritious part of the rice; white rice is what remains after removing everything but the carbohydrates.
Are You Only Concerned About Calories and Sugar?The germ and bran of brown rice are packed with "sub-nutrients" (vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber) that help digest and efficiently metabolize what you eat. Compared to white rice, the nutritional content is several to 12 times higher. Eating brown rice, which is rich in these sub-nutrients, helps metabolize and excrete not only the accompanying side dishes but even excess substances accumulated in your body.
What's Hakkou 5?"Hakkou 5" is a lactic acid fermented rice bran supplement made with a unique process that combines the nutrients found in brown rice germ and bran (vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber) with live bacteria (lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacterium, koji mold, yeast) and formed into granules.Rice bran promotes the digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and metabolism of energy, leading to a healthy body that doesn't store excess.
The Power of 4 Bacteria and Enzymes Unique to Hakkou 5* Lactic Acid Bacteria: 153 million per sachet"Spore-forming lactic acid bacteria" are protected by their spore shells, making them highly stable and resistant to stomach acid, heat, and dryness. They reach the intestines alive to multiply and thrive. They are excellent in heat resistance, acid resistance, and sugar resistance, making them strong bacteria that are not easily weakened and do not die in stomach acid. It's great that they reach the intestines alive.* Yeast: 585,000 per sachet40 types of natural ingredients, including tropical fruits, vegetables, wild herbs, and traditional medicines, are fermented with yeast to create a plant fermented extract. This plant fermented extract is used in Hakkou 5 through a non-heating process.* Koji Mold: 5,400 per sachet7 types of grains (barley, foxtail millet, Japanese millet, proso millet, sorghum, purple black rice, rice flour) are fermented with live koji mold.* Bifidobacterium: 3 billion per sachetHakkou 5 uses human-derived bifidobacterium. The types of bacteria residing in humans and animals differ. The bifidobacterium included in Hakkou 5 is human-derived, so it is considered compatible with humans.* Enzymes: Activated by the power of fermentationThe power of enzymes is invigorated through the fermentation of 7 types of grains by koji mold. The fermented grain koji is used in Hakkou 5 through a non-heating process.
