Wakamoto Pharmaceutical's popular product "Powerful Wakamoto Wakamoto Tablets" has three functions of digestion, intestinal regulation and nutritional supplementation. The specific characteristics are as follows:


1. Wakamoto Pharmaceutical's original koji bacteria help digestion

Koji bacteria are rich in enzymes and are indispensable for the production of fermented foods such as Japanese sake, soy sauce and miso.
Wakamoto Pharmaceutical's original koji fungus "Koji oryzae NK bacteria" is produced from digestive enzymes such as amylase and protease.

Amylase helps digest carbohydrates, and protease helps digest protein. Therefore, the effect of "Strong Wakamoto Wakamoto Tablet" can be expected to help digestion. And it is also a good friend for those who are prone to indigestion and flatulence.


2. Add active lactic acid bacteria to improve intestinal environment

There are also many types of lactic acid bacteria.
Most people know that active lactic acid bacteria can increase good bacteria and inhibit bad bacteria, which is very helpful for improving the taste environment. [Note 2]

The Streptococcus faecalis contained in "Powerful Wakamoto Wakamoto Tablets" is an active lactic acid bacteria that originally lived in the human intestinal tract. Relieves constipation and loose stools.


3. The nutrients contained in brewer's yeast can relieve fatigue

The brewer's yeast contained in "Strength Wakamoto Wakamoto Tablet" is a nutritional ingredient that produces amino acids, vitamins, and minerals during the fermentation process of beer.

"Strong Wakamoto Wakamoto Tablet" contains yeast and these nutrients that have been heat-treated together. Although the yeast itself is dead, there are still rich nutrients.
It can be said to be the most suitable nutritional supplement for fatigue.
