■ Background: The Challenge of "Practicing" Gut Health but Not "Feeling the Effects"
With increasing health consciousness, approximately 75% of people are currently interested in "gut health," and 29% are already practicing it.
The top food consumed for gut health is "yogurt (89%)," but only a mere 15% of people actually feel its effects.
One of the reasons for this is thought to be "insufficient dietary fiber."
If there is a lack of water-soluble dietary fiber, which is a nutrient source for lactic acid bacteria, the lactic acid bacteria will not be sufficiently activated. Modern Japanese people are said to be deficient in approximately 2 to 4g of dietary fiber per day.
