Kobon Marvel First Yeast is a health beverage developed in 1950 (Showa 25), focusing on "natural yeast" used in ancient Japanese fermented foods, to supplement the "natural yeast" that modern people lack.
This product is a plant extract fermented beverage that captures wild natural yeast living in the atmosphere of Izu Amagi Mountain in Shizuoka Prefecture and on the leaves of green deciduous trees. The yeast is simply attached to and naturally fermented with several types of fruit, successfully promoting the growth, strengthening, and ripening of the bacteria. It is a yeast beverage rich in powerful natural yeast born from the wild.
In recent years, many health drinks made from a variety of raw materials have been sold, but we prioritize cultivating beneficial yeast with a few compatible fruits rather than dozens of ingredients. For over 60 years since our founding, we have been traditionally cultivating natural yeast vigorously and shipping it.
Please utilize "Natural Yeast that Supports Japanese Health" for the health of your family.
◆ Features of Kobon’s Natural Yeast Drink
1. Easy supplementation of necessary natural yeast for Japanese people
The beneficial bacteria that Japanese and Westerners mainly favor differ. We believe Westerners mainly need lactic acid bacteria related to preventing meat spoilage, while Japanese need natural yeast that helps ferment and break down grains and vegetables, making fibers easier to eat. This product is a plant extract fermented beverage that allows easy intake of this natural yeast.
2. Natural yeast resistant to acid, salt, and heat
Fully ripened natural yeast, taking about 1 to 1.5 years, is resistant to acid, salt, and heat, and can be used in cooking.
3. Fermentation honey born from natural yeast
Kobon’s natural yeast beverage contains about 15 to 35 times (depending on the country of origin and type of honey) the amount of natural yeast compared to pure honey (natural honey without artificial additives). Its sweetness is derived from directly reducing sugars, the same as pure honey. You can enjoy fermented honey produced by natural yeast.
◆ Sugar content: Kobon Marvel 56°–58°, Kobon 66°, Honey 70°–75°
4. No food additives
Kobon’s natural yeast beverage is a fermented food (fermented drink) that contains no additives (coloring agents, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, etc.). Since it is also used by small children, we regularly conduct tests for radioactive substances in the product.
5. Supporting family health through food
Kobon’s natural yeast beverage can be enjoyed by everyone from infants to the elderly, regardless of age or gender. Unlike honey, there is no risk of botulinum bacteria. It is made from fruit, making it easy to drink and continue regularly.
≪ Suitable for people who: ≫
- Want to spend each day energetically- Are concerned about lifestyle and dietary habits- Wish for their family’s healthy growth and well-being- Have irregular morning routines- Are worried about maintaining health- Want to incorporate fermented foods into their diet
◆ The Work of Kobon’s Natural Yeast
Kobon’s natural yeast differs from bacteria like lactic acid bacteria; it has a nucleus, is genetically stable, and primarily uses sugars such as glucose as an energy source.
◆ A Habit to Continue for Smiles with Family
Dilute 20 ml of the original concentrate with water or hot water, about 6 to 7 times. Drink once to three times a day as a guideline.
One bottle provides approximately 26 servings.
It contains no additives (coloring agents, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, etc.) and is caffeine-free, so it can be enjoyed by everyone from infants to the elderly.
The flavor is fruity and honey-like, making it delicious and easy to continue drinking like juice.
◆ How Natural Yeast Works to Increase Enzymes in the Body
Recently, the topic of "enzymes" has gained attention.
Enzymes are vital nutrients that contribute to vitality and healthy skin, but they are living organisms called yeast bacteria, which are the fundamental source of enzymes.
Many ask about the difference between yeast and enzymes. Enzymes are substances, whereas yeast are living organisms (living creatures).
Yeast also produce and increase enzymes, serving as raw materials for enzyme creation.
Japanese people have traditionally valued fermented foods to prevent food spoilage (for storage). However, the intake of fermented foods has been decreasing year by year.
As a result, the body cannot properly ferment what is eaten, leading to spoilage, which causes issues like foul-smelling gas and stool, and fatigue.
Your beneficial bacteria in your gut = yourself.
Kobon Marvel is based on natural yeast collected over 50 years ago. It is a proven, highly effective strain.
