FERMENTED RICE GERM EXTRACT POWDER

GMT-SOD(=Super Oxide Dismutase) Pure Powder





Due to stress, atmospheric pollution, food additives, etc., surplus Super Oxides are produced in the body, obstructing the normal parts of the body. When this occurs, the enzyme named SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase) is generated to combat the surplus Super Oxides.
As one gets old, his ability to produce this SOD diminishes and geriatric degenerative disease will result.It also influences children's imperfect immunity. Nowadays, most people have an SOD deficit in the stress-ful environment.
WHAT IS GMT-SOD?
GMT-SOD is processed from the extract of fermented rice germ. It has a very strong SOD like activity.For easy absorption, it is produced in low molecular weight, namely, below 4000.
It can be used for all types of drinks, tablets, capsules, candy, etc.

Can use approx. 60% of the materials as maximum plus the rest ingredients to make it tabletized.











SOY BEAN ISOFLAVONE

Antiestrogenic, Antifungal, Antiviral and Antioxidant Activities







Soybean is not widely consumed as food source in the West, but it is very important food in Japan and Asian countries. Isoflavones are found in soybeans in large amount and contain phytochemical compounds with antiestrogenic, antifungal, antiviral and actioxidant activities.

Isoflavone-intake serves to protect osteoporosis since soybean isoflavones suppress bone resorption.

Etiologic data show that higher frequency of prostatic carcinoma was found in white and black people than Japanese. The Finnish people's blood contains less isoflavone than Japanese. The isoflavone contents in blood is related to carcinogenesis. It was found that it keeps a mouse liver from nitrosoamine-induced cancer to feed a soybean diet. Also, biochemical data supported these observations. One of isoflavones, Genistein, shows to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cell, tyrosine protein kinases and to block angiogenesis. Thus, isoflavone has potentiality for protection of carcinogenesis.

AGARICUS BLAZEI MURILL EXTRACT POWDER

Activates the human immune system





Agaricus originates from Piedade in the suburbs of Sao Paulo, Brazil. About 3 decades ago, one American researcher got aware of the fact that the inhabitants in this area were rarely inflicted by adult diseases and they eat Agaricus on daily diet. It was called "Cogmelo de Deus" locally which means "God's mushroom".
It was the same time that Agaricus was firstly brought into Japan by Dr. Shoji Shibata, a professor in the Pharmacological Dept of Tokyo University. Another professor named Dr. Tetsuo Ikegawa of the National Cancer Center jointly worked with Dr. Shibata on the pharmacological effects of Agaricus. The research findings were announced at the General Convention of the Japan Pharmacological Association and the Japan Cancer Association. Their experiments utilizing mice showed that the polysaccharide beta-glucan contained in Agaricus significantly activated the immune system.




GASTRONOMIC EFFECTS

Agaricus Blazei Murill strengthens the immune function of inhibition for carcinomatous growth and activates natural killer cells. Among other components in Agaricus, the known anti-tumor agents are Beta-glucan and other polysaccharides which are highly concentrated in the powdered extract of Agaricus.

Polysaccharide contained in Agaricus Blazei Murill vitalizes generation of interferon and interleukin in guinea pigs. This effect indirectly functions to hold down proliferation of cancer cells. Also, it prevents viruses and other external matters from invading the tissue.

Clinical findings obtained jointly with universtity and hospital researchers were announced at the General Convention of the Japan Cancer Association in 1980. They showed that polysaccharide of Agaricus Blazei Murill is effective against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma sigmoid coloniccancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer as well as against solid cancer.

The findings also show that it activates metabolism by revitalizing normal biological tissue. Digestive enzymes such as amylase trypsin martase and the protease contained in fungus also enhances digestion. Besides, tyrosinase which oxydizes tyrosine and produces melanin, has a hypotensive effect. Furthermore, melanin protein that is effective in the generation of semen, hair and egg white was just recently discovered in Agaricus Blazei Murill.

Its physiological effects are anti-tumor, anti-allergic action and reduction of blood sugar level.

WHEAT GERM OIL

Containing Vegetable Ceramides




Wheat germ oil has been applied to cosmetics and foods for a long time. It contains glycolipids including ceramides, namely, natural moisturizing components. In accordance with the Standards for Cosmetic Component Descriptions, Wheat germ oil (Component Code 522034) is widely usable in creams, milky lotions, gels, shampoos, etc.




SKIN & MOISTURIZING

Functions of skin:
(1) to prevent evaporation of the moisture from the body.
(2) to defense against external irritations and invasion of bacteria, etc.

Skin Structure and Moisturizing:
The skin is roughly classified into epidermis, corium and hypoderm. The epidermis consists of horny layer (=the outermost layer), granular layer, spinous layer and basal layer. In particular, the horny layer in the epidermis is largely related to the flexibility of the healthy skin. The flexibility (or moisturizing) of the skin is maintained by the moisture contained in this horny layer.

Horny Layer Components and Moisturizing:
"Ceramides" are largely contained in the lipids constituting the horny layer. Namely, ceramides amount to approx. 40% of the intercellular lipids in the human horny layer, and play the major part in moisturizing the human skin.


CERAMIDES & GLYCOLIPIDS

Ceramides:
In general, a ceramide has a structure in which a fatty acid is bonded to sphingosine. In ceramides originating in wheat, sugars like mannose and glucose are further bonded to glycolipids. In human and animal bodies, ceramides are generated in the skin, blood, brain, spinal cord and nerve tissue, whereas in plants, they are generated in wheat, rice, soybean, maze, spinach, etc.

Glycolipids:
Substances containing both of sugar and lipid in a molecule are generally called glycolipids. Glycolipids are widely found in animal and plant bodies including human body and are regarded as essentially necessary in the activities of living organisms because of being important constituents of biomembranes.


FUNCTIONS OF CERAMIDES

Relief of Dry Skin:
Normal human horny layer contains from 10 to 30% moisture. When the moisture content in the horny layer is lowered to 10% or below due to some external reasons, the skin becomes less elastic, coarse and chapped. Such conditions may be relieved not merely by applying fats or oils to the skin but by feeding something capable of maintaining the moisture in the horny layer.

Relief of Aging & Atopic Dermatitis:
It is reported that ceramides contained in the horny layer are decreased when skin becomes more and more dried up through the progress of aging or the onset of atopic dermatitis.

Comparison with other Moisturizing components:
(1) Collagen and moisturizing: It is said that collagen which is a structural protein amounting to 70% of the corium, contributes tothe "tension" and elasticity of the skin.
(2) Hyaluronic acid and moisturizing: Hyaluronic acid which is known as a water soluble component of the skin, has been widely employed as a moisturizer in cosmetics.
(3) Ceramides and moisturizing: Recently, it is reported that not only water soluble moisturizing components but also intercellular lipids (i.e. ceramides) play important roles in moisturizing the skin.


CHARACTERISTICS OF "WHEAT GERM OIL-S"

Form:
It is in the form of a brown, viscous oil having the characteristic smell of germ oil.

Merits:
(1) It is completely made from wheat produced in Japan.
(2) It contains at least 6% of glycolipids including ceramides.
** The content of the ceramides in the glycolipids is not specified because no method hs been established for analyzing the content.
(3) It contains wheat germ oil as the major component (content: approx. 90%)

Functions:
(1) Moisturizing: When the moisture contnet in the human horny layer is determined by using a high frequency transmission moisture meter, it is found that an obvious moisturizing effect can be achieved by applying this product.
(2) Inhibition of collagenase: Collagen which is the major component of the corium is decomposed by an enzyme called collagenase. By adding this product, the collagenase activity is inhibited and thus collagen is stabilized.
(3) Suppression of POV(peroxide value): It is confirmed by a model experiment that an increase in POV can be suppressed by adding this product to foods and cosmetics.

Application Examples:
(1) To Cosmetics: In accordance with the Standards for Cosmetic Component Descriptions, wheat germ oil (Component Code 522034), it is widely usable in creams, milky lotions, gels, lotions, shapoos, etc.
(2) To Foods: It is applicale to soft capsules, drinks, yoghurts, jellies, gummy candies, candies, baked products such as breads, doughnuts, cakes and cookies, creams, etc.

CHITOSAN & GLUCOSAMINE POWDER

Physiological functions -
decreasing cholesterol, inhibiting fat absorption,
inhibiting blood pressure elevation and improving intestinal metabolism






Chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin. It is polysaccharide found in nature with an amino group, contained in the shells of Crustacea such as crab, shrimp, etc. Chitosan is a white to light-red solid powder, insoluble in water, soluble in organic acid, but indigestible by human digestive enzymes. Therefore, it is one of the so-called dietary fibers.
The chemical structures of chitin, chitosan and glucosamine are shown below.








Crab shells are treated with dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sodium hydroxide to remove calcium and protein. The product thus obtained is called chitin, and its further deacetylated product with concentrated sodium hydroxide is chitosan. Both chitin and chitosan are white to light-yellow or light-red substances with chemical structures quite similar to that of cellulose. Both are stable natural high molecular substances with strong inter-molecular binding force due to intramolecular amino group.
Glucosamine, a monosaccharide and component sugar of chitosan, can also be obtained by direct hydrolysis of chitin.




CHITOSAN AS FOOD MATERIAL

(1) It is a nitrogen-containing cationic polysaccharide found in nature, and is one of the water-soluble dietary fibers.

(2) Its physiological functions include decrease of cholesterol, inhibition of fat absorption, prevention of increases in blood pressure, and improvement of intestinal environment are expected.

(3) Its safety in humans, animals and microbes has been confirmed by experiments. Also, it has long been taken as a food.

(4) It is stable of itself when it is added to food.

(5) Its content can be analyzed even when added to food.

PERILLA SEED EXTRACT POWDER & LIQUID

Effective anti-allergy substance

** Perilla Leaf Extract Powder is also available.



What is Perilla Seed ? Perilla frutescens and a lot of herbs like lavandula belong to Fam. LABIATAE. Perilla seed has been cultivated in Japan, China, Korea and Southeast Asia and used as spices and also main supply for ƒż-linolenate rich oil.
The patients with allergy are increasing every year, and the diet is said to be one of the most important factor of this disease. Daily intake of n-6 fatty acids, contained in meet or plant oil such as safflower, are accumulated as arachidonic acid which is converted to allergic mediators. PERILLA SEED EXTRACT inhibits the production of allergic mediators, termed leukotrienes (LTs). The mediators are metabolites of arachidonic acid through 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. PERILLA SEED EXTRACT selectively inhibits 5-LO activity (in vitro). PERILLA SEED EXTRACT also inhibits type IV allergy as well as TPA-induced inflammation (in vivo). Moreover, the serum IgE levels were suppressed by administration of PERILLA SEED EXTRACT, and allergic rhinitis, hay fever and urticaria were significantly improved on human.
