● What is "fermentable dietary fiber" that is attracting attention in the gut-health industry?

The two basic important points for gut health are supplementing bacteria (taking live bacteria) and nurturing bacteria (taking dietary fiber and oligosaccharides that serve as food for bacteria). Among these, for nurturing bacteria, it is important to consume a balanced amount of soluble dietary fiber, which softens stool, and insoluble dietary fiber, which increases stool bulk.

Furthermore, in recent years, in addition to the amount and type of soluble and insoluble fibers, attention has been focused on "fermentability," which means that they are fermented by intestinal bacteria to produce metabolites that contribute to health.

● About Nomura Milk Industry Co., Ltd.

Founded in 1897 (Meiji 30), Nomura Milk Industry is a dairy manufacturer with the concept of "nurturing the gut." In the past, like general dairy manufacturers, it widely manufactured products mainly dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and pudding. However, from the 90s, milk and yogurt became commoditized, and price competition intensified. Aiming for products that satisfy customers with value rather than price, around 2010, the company concentrated its management resources on fermentation technology and gut environment research. Currently, it specializes in businesses applying high-concentration fermentation technology of plant-based lactic acid bacteria, which is rare worldwide. It mainly manufactures and sells the plant-based lactic acid bacteria beverage "My Flora." Although it is a dairy manufacturer, it does not produce milk. Overseas, it provides fermentation technical guidance and fermented raw materials to dairy manufacturers. It also actively conducts human clinical trials of plant-based lactic acid bacteria and gut flora analysis, aiming to become a gut-health specialist manufacturer.

While general lactic acid bacteria beverages ferment milk with animal lactic acid bacteria, "My Flora" ferments vegetables with highly vital "plant-based lactic acid bacteria." It has a refreshing taste that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the acidity produced by lactic acid bacteria.
