wakamoto Pharmaceutical's flagship product, "Strong wakamoto (Wakamoto Tablets)," has three effects: digestion, intestinal regulation, and nutritional supplementation. The specific features are as follows.


1. wakamoto Pharmaceutical's original aspergillus helps digestion

Jiuqu is required in the manufacturing process of sake, soy sauce, miso, etc. Jiuqu is rich in enzymes that are essential for fermentation.

The original aspergillus oryzae NK bacterium developed by wakamoto Pharmaceutical produces digestive enzymes such as amylase and protease.


Amylase is an enzyme required for digesting carbohydrates and proteases, so "strong wakamoto (Wakamoto Tablets)" can be expected to have the effect of supporting digestion. It will be a strong ally for those who suffer from stomach upset.


2. Lactic acid bacteria that reach the intestines alive prepare the intestinal environment

There are various types of lactic acid bacteria.

Live lactic acid bacteria are known to grow good bacteria, suppress bad bacteria, and help improve the intestinal environment.

"Streptococcus faecalis" contained in "Strong wakamoto (Wakamoto Tablets)" is a lactic acid bacterium that originally lives in the human intestine and reaches the intestine alive. We approach problems such as constipation and loose stools.


3. The nutritional components contained in brewer's yeast support recovery from fatigue

Saccharomyces cerevisiae contained in "Strong wakamoto (Wakamoto Tablets)" produces various nutritional components such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals during the fermentation process of beer.


Since yeast and these nutrients are heat-treated together in "Strong wakamoto (Wakamoto Tablets)", the yeast itself is dead, but the nutrients are abundant.
