How much amazake is effective?
The amount that one cup can feel the effect
Amazake is attracting attention as a health drink and nutritional supplement, and is empirically said to be effective in suppressing obesity and improving the intestines, but there are not many academic studies on the health effects and functionality of amazake. bottom.
In 2018, a research group led by Professor Ozeki of Kanazawa Institute of Technology focused on a substance called "prolamin," which accounts for about 10 to 15% of the protein contained in rice.
Prolamin is a type of resistant protein (indigestible protein) that is difficult to digest and absorb. Like dietary fiber, it is said to have effects such as improving constipation, promoting cholesterol excretion, and suppressing obesity.
It was verified that amazake made from rice malt and rice can take in more prolamin than amazake made by other methods. The effective amount of prolamin that can reduce cholesterol and improve bowel movements in humans is said to be approximately 113 mg/day. It was found that one cup (approximately 150ml) of amazake made from rice malt and rice provides the required amount of prolamin.
The amount that you can feel the functional effect is 1 cup (150-200ml) per day. You can use it all at once, or spread it out in the morning and at night.
