[Kestose] Let's start using the popular prebiotics and synbiotics with Kestose

Kestose is a prebiotic that is currently a hot topic.

This food is especially recommended for those who want to live a healthy and energetic life and those who want to keep their stomachs in check.

Currently, intestinal health is attracting attention for both health and beauty.

Kestose is also one of the prebiotics that is very useful for intestinal activity.

In particular, it is a prebiotic that has been attracting attention as it is food for ``butyric acid bacteria,'' a topical beneficial bacteria that was introduced on NHK's popular information program ``Asaichi.''

An easy-to-understand explanation of kestose and prebiotics.

What are prebiotics?

The term prebiotics has been gaining attention in recent years.

A while ago, the word "probiotics" became popular, and they were listed on various foods such as yogurt.

So what are prebiotics?

Also, are prebiotics and probiotics different?

We will introduce prebiotics, which are necessary to maintain the intestinal environment.

What are prebiotics?

Simply put, prebiotics are "foods that reach the large intestine and serve as food for good bacteria."

Pre is an English word that means "before, in advance." Biotics means "of living things."

In other words, it is food, something that is ingested before living things.

Prebiotics is a concept proposed by British and Belgian scholars in 1994, and refers to foods that effectively increase the number of beneficial bacteria.

Kestose is a food that helps your stomach health.

This is because it serves as food for the good bacteria in the intestines and plays an active role in increasing the number of good bacteria.

Foods considered to be prebiotics mainly include dietary fiber and various types of oligosaccharides.

What are probiotics?

So what are probiotics?

Probiotics are taken to increase the amount of bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria that naturally live in the human intestines and are active as beneficial bacteria in the intestines.

Many beneficial bacteria die when exposed to digestive fluids, including human gastric juices.

Therefore, common lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria often fail to reach the large intestine.

Therefore, in recent years, attention has been focused on beneficial bacteria that have strong bodies and can reach the large intestine alive.

Good bacteria that reach the intestines alive and work have a positive impact on the intestinal flora and regulate the intestinal environment.

In other words, probiotics are the ingestion of beneficial bacteria themselves.

Difference between prebiotics and probiotics

Prebiotics means supporting good bacteria by eating foods that feed them.

Since Kestose is a food, it is a prebiotic.

Probiotics, on the other hand, means eating foods that contain beneficial bacteria themselves.

There are many types of good bacteria, such as bifidobacteria, lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus natto, and yeast, and there are also various types of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria.

Wouldn't it be most powerful if we combined prebiotics, which feed on foods for good bacteria, with probiotics, which feed on good bacteria themselves? I think so.

In fact, a healthy diet based on this idea has already been proposed.

Synbiotics that combine prebiotics and probiotics

Synbiotics is a method of skillfully combining foods such as prebiotics such as oligosaccharides and dietary fiber with foods containing probiotics such as yogurt and good bacteria.

Synbiotics can be implemented simply by eating yogurt containing bifidobacteria and fruits containing oligosaccharides and dietary fiber.

The number of people who are actually practicing this at their daily dining table is increasing.

What I would like to recommend is Nakaya Shoten's Kestos.

This is a recommended prebiotic that can be eaten quickly and without discomfort, even during busy mornings or for those who don't like supplements.

By combining it with probiotic foods, you can easily start a synbiotic lifestyle today.

Nakaya Shoten's Kestose is a type of prebiotic [oligosaccharide]

Kestose, sold by Nakaya Shoten, is a prebiotic.

It is a type of oligosaccharide that serves as food for beneficial bacteria.

In fact, there are many types of oligosaccharides, and the intestinal bacteria that support them are also different.

Nakaya Shoten's Kestose is an oligosaccharide that works as a particularly excellent prebiotic.

Kestose is a type of oligosaccharide!

Kestose is a type of oligosaccharide.

Oligosaccharides have long been said to be ``sugars that are gentle on the stomach'' and ``sugars that are good for the intestinal environment'' as prebiotics.

Many of you may have seen or eaten health-related foods that contain oligosaccharides.

Oligosaccharides are a type of carbohydrate.

Carbohydrates are classified as carbohydrates among the three major nutrients.

Carbohydrates are a category that includes many foods that are mainly eaten as staple foods, such as rice and bread.

It is well known that carbohydrates contain a lot of sugar, and some people reduce their intake to lose weight.

However, not all carbohydrates are sugar; carbohydrates also contain dietary fiber.

Also, the carbohydrates contained in carbohydrates are not only those that are stored as fat in the body.

Oligosaccharides are a type of healthy sugar that has fewer calories than carbohydrates and is not stored as fat.

Oligosaccharide is a type of sugar! However, its properties are completely different from sugar.

Oligosaccharides are a type of sugar and are divided into several types.

Sugars can be divided into monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose, disaccharides such as sugar, lactose, and maltose, and polysaccharides such as starch.

They are classified according to the number of monosaccharides connected together, and oligosaccharides have 3 to 10 monosaccharides connected together.

The word oligosaccharide is a Greek word meaning “less”. Compared to starch, which has 10 or more monosaccharides, it is a saccharide made up of fewer monosaccharides.

 

When we eat glucose, fructose, sugar, etc., they are broken down by digestive enzymes contained in digestive fluids while passing through the stomach and small intestine.

The reduced sugars are taken into the blood and become energy used by the brain.

However, unused sugars are stored in the body as fat, so eating too much can cause obesity and increase blood sugar levels, leading to diabetes.

However, many oligosaccharides are indigestible, meaning they cannot be broken down by digestive fluids such as saliva or gastric juices, so they reach the intestines without being taken into the bloodstream.

It also serves as food for the intestinal bacteria that live in abundance in your stomach.

Therefore, oligosaccharides are representative prebiotics.

Learn more! Why we recommend the oligosaccharide called kestose

There are various types of oligosaccharides.

Many of you may have heard of fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, etc.

Nakaya Shoten's Kestose is a saccharide classified as a fructooligosaccharide.

 

Many oligosaccharides are indigestible and reach the intestines intact, where they become food for intestinal bacteria.

For this reason, it is considered a prebiotic, a food that energizes and increases intestinal bacteria.

However, although oligosaccharides serve as food for various bacteria in the intestines, they do not only energize good bacteria.

Both bad bacteria and opportunistic bacteria feed on oligosaccharides.

[Kestose], which only energizes good bacteria, has many excellent features!

The oligosaccharide [kestose] sold by Nakaya Shoten has the surprising and beneficial feature of being food exclusively for bifidobacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and butyric acid bacteria.

Now, let's take a look at what happens when we feed only bifidobacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and butyric acid bacteria.

Only bifidobacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and butyric acid bacteria in the stomach can be energized.

Unlike other oligosaccharides, kestose has the property of being eaten only by specific intestinal bacteria.

Specific intestinal bacteria are only beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, Lactic Acid Bacteria, and Butyric Acid Bacteria, which have very beneficial functions.

One of the major characteristics of Kestose is that it does not become food for bad bacteria.

Many oligosaccharides serve as food for any type of bacteria, but kestose is different.

Bifidobacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and butyric acid bacteria are very famous intestinal bacteria among the good bacteria that are essential for maintaining the intestinal environment and maintaining health.

Therefore, among the many prebiotics, kestose is an oligosaccharide that has the power to selectively revitalize only the beneficial bacteria that have beneficial effects on the body.

Kestose has a similar taste to sugar and is easy to eat.

Kestose has a similar sweetness to regular sugar.

Therefore, you can mix it with yogurt and eat it just like sugar, so you don't have to worry about adjusting the amount each time.

Some sweeteners have unique tastes, but they have a refreshing sweetness without any unpleasant taste.

You can rest assured that Kestose does not use any raw materials that cause allergies!

Kestose is an oligosaccharide made by linking the monosaccharides glucose and fructose into three molecules in a ratio of 1 glucose to 2 fructose through a special enzyme reaction.

Although it exists in nature, kestose sold at Nakaya Shoten is made from sugar.

Therefore, we do not use 28 items such as allergenic raw materials.

It is an oligosaccharide that you can eat with peace of mind without worrying about allergies.

Nakaya Shoten's Kestos is [100% Kestos]

Since ancient times, oligosaccharides have been known as prebiotics that improve stomach health and have been sold as health foods.

At least once in your life, you have probably eaten food containing oligosaccharides, or eaten oligosaccharides themselves.

However, in reality, even if a product is labeled as oligosaccharide, it does not necessarily mean that it is 100% oligosaccharide.

Furthermore, even if oligosaccharides other than kestose are eaten, they do not serve as food for only good bacteria, but may serve as food for bad bacteria, leading to an increase in the number of bad bacteria.

However, Nakaya Shoten's Kestos is a very valuable 100% pure Kestos product.

Kestose is an oligosaccharide that exists in nature, but it is difficult to mass-produce it, and it has only recently been possible to commercialize it.

Please experience prebiotics that are far more advanced than ever before with Nakaya Shoten's 100% pure Kestos.

Kestose is less fattening than sugar! Indigestible sugar that does not easily raise blood sugar levels

Many oligosaccharides, including kestose, are indigestible and reach the intestines undigested.

Ordinary carbohydrates are broken down by digestive enzymes before passing through the small intestine and then absorbed by the body.

Since it is not absorbed by the body, it does not raise blood sugar levels easily, making it difficult to gain weight, which is a good property for dieters.

Furthermore, it has about half the calories of sugar, so it is an essential sweetener for those on a diet.

Let's try prebiotics! Delicious way to eat kestose

Kestos is slowly beginning to be recognized for its power.

It is believed that it not only improves your stomach's health, but also helps with allergies, atopic dermatitis, skin condition, immunity, and other various changes.

How should we eat kestose, a prebiotic that is still being researched?

A classic prebiotic! mix with yogurt

Prebiotics refers to the intake of foods such as oligosaccharides that serve as food for intestinal bacteria and increase and energize them.

Also, eating good bacteria itself and increasing intestinal bacteria is called probiotics.

Therefore, the simplest, standard, and extremely effective way to eat it is to mix it with probiotic yogurt.

There are also good bacteria that are sensitive to digestive juices and those that are strong.

As a result of research, there are also beneficial bacteria that have been processed to be less susceptible to the effects of digestive juices.

Yogurt containing lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, which are resistant to digestive juices and easily reach the intestines, is available at supermarkets.

If you sweeten this kind of probiotic yogurt with the prebiotic kestose, it becomes a powerful combination that is both easy to eat and synbiotic.

Sweets using Kestose are also available! Let's use it to make sweets

Sweets using kestose have already been sold and have become a hot topic.

There are many sweets that can be easily made at home, such as jelly, parfait, ice cream, and milk cans.

The kids loved the parfait too! Add your favorite ice cream and crushed jelly to the glass alternately, then add Kestose and top with whipped cream.

If you use Kestose when making jelly, ice cream, or sorbet, you can make a prebiotic parfait at home that won't make you fat and will give your stomach more energy.

It's a good idea to add some fresh fruit as it contains a lot of enzymes.

It also has a sweetness similar to sugar, so it can be used in a variety of sweets and dishes.

Start a prebiotic/synbiotic life with Kestose

Kestose is an excellent oligosaccharide that allows you to easily start a prebiotic and synbiotic lifestyle by adding it to the yogurt you eat every morning.

Unlike other oligosaccharides, it only feeds on good bacteria that are beneficial to the body, so it can increase the number of good bacteria and keep you healthy.

If you are concerned about your stomach condition, allergies, skin condition, etc., you can easily start a prebiotic and synbiotic lifestyle with Nakaya Shoten's Kestose.
