At MURO, we proudly recommend that you incorporate fermented foods, mainly amazake, into your daily life according to the scene, under the slogan of "expanding fermentation, colorful life".
“Resistant protein (RP)” is the most important nutritional ingredient that can be expected to be effective for health and beauty. This time, we would like to introduce a component that is in the spotlight as a protein that has a function similar to dietary fiber that helps improve the intestinal environment.

What is the indigestible protein resistant protein (RP) that is attracting attention?

difficult to be broken down and absorbed in the intestine,
rare proteinWhen you hear the word protein, you may be familiar with supplement foods that are popular with athletes and dieters, but it refers to protein. By prefixing it with "resistant", it literally translates to a protein that "resists" or "resists".
General proteins are broken down into amino acids by digestive enzymes in the body and absorbed, but resistant proteins (RP) are proteins that are difficult to digest and refuse to be digested in the body.
Therefore, it has been found that it can stay in the body for a long time, so it works well when it is discharged from the body.

lower cholesterol in a healthy way
Resistant protein (RP) is a protein that is difficult to digest in the intestines, so it has the function of absorbing excess lipids and oils remaining in the intestines and excreting them out of the body. In particular, it has been reported that LDL [Low Density Lipoprotein] (bad) cholesterol, which causes arteriosclerosis and is a risk factor for myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, can be expected to suppress lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity.

① [Good bacteria] Activation of butyric acid-producing bacteria
It has been reported that one of the good bacteria, "butyric acid-producing bacteria", was 12.9% before drinking, but increased by about 2% to 14.9% after drinking.
Along with lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, "butyric acid-producing bacteria" are attracting attention as good bacteria that suppress the growth of bad bacteria.
Because it lives in the large intestine, activation plays an important role in preventing obesity and improving immune function.
By revitalizing butyric acid-producing bacteria, the intestinal flora is adjusted, and lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria become more active.
Usually, there are pickles, shiitake mushrooms, burdock, konnyaku, etc. to be taken from meals, but if it is difficult to take it every day, drinking a cup of amazake with a high RP content will increase the activity of butyric acid-producing bacteria. can be expected to -
② [Good bacteria] Activation of Faecalibacterium bacteria
Another good bacterium, the genus Fecalibacterium, was 6.9% before drinking, but after drinking it was reported to be 8.2%, an increase of about 1.3%.
"Faecalibacterium genus" is known as a representative bacterium of "butyric acid-producing bacteria".
It is said to be one of the longevity bacteria, mainly responsible for immune function.
Most of it is absorbed when it reaches the small intestine, and when the resistant protein (RP), which is difficult to decompose, reaches the large intestine, it activates the genus Faecalibacterium and regulates the intestinal flora. Become.
