glucose
-
Glucose is made by breaking down the starch in rice with the enzymes of koji mold, and is a nutrient that serves as an energy source to move the brain and body .
-
It does not need to be digested in the body and becomes energy for the brain and body directly. It is also ideal for replenishing energy when there is no time to eat, such as in the morning. It also gives you a feeling of fullness, so you can eat less and help with dieting.
B vitamins
-
B group vitamins such as vitamins B1, B2, B6, and niacin contained in amazake promote metabolism by converting carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins into energy .
-
Metabolism promotion helps with dieting, and it activates the cells of the skin and mucous membranes, so you can expect a beautiful skin effect.
Oligosaccharides/dietary fiber
-
The abundant oligosaccharides and dietary fiber contained in amazake are nutrients that regulate the intestinal environment. Oligosaccharides feed good bacteria, and dietary fiber traps accumulated wastes and promotes bowel movements. This will improve the intestinal environment and prevent constipation.
-
In addition, since 70% of the immune cells in the body are concentrated in the intestine , it is said that the intestine is an organ that controls immunity. By making good bacteria in the intestines dominant, the immune function goes up. Amazake is effective for “intestinal activity” that adjusts the intestinal environment.
Essential amino acids
-
There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins, 9 of which cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained from food. These are called essential amino acids.
-
These substances have effects such as building muscle, maintaining mental health, promoting growth, and controlling the satiety center. You will be able to relieve irritation caused by stress such as work, recover from fatigue and get a good night's sleep .
kojic acid
-
Kojic acid, which is produced when koji mold ferments rice, is known to be effective in suppressing the production of melanin, which causes spots and freckles. Since it works directly on the cells that are the source of blemishes, a high whitening effect can be expected.
-
As you age, your skin may gradually turn yellow and dull. Proteins and sugars bind together, and brown substances called AGEs accumulate with age. Kojic acid is said to have the effect of suppressing AGEs . Regular intake of amazake, which is highly nutritious, can enhance its health and beauty benefits.
