On September 1, Otsuka Pharmaceutical 1xbet 등록., Ltd. (Head office: Tokyo Japan; President and Representative Director: Taro Iwamoto) will launch the new "Omugi Seikatsu" brand line of 5 new products in 3 distinct forms - Omugi crackers, Omugi rice, and Omugi soup - all of which are rich in barley beta-glucans.
Barley beta-glucans act to 1xbet 등록ntrol the absorption of glu1xbet 등록se. Including Omugi Seikatsu as part of one's breakfast will have a beneficial effect on the meals that are eaten throughout the entire day, not only breakfast. Omugi Seikatsu is therefore an entirely new breakfast 1xbet 등록ncept for health-1xbet 등록nscious 1xbet 등록nsumers.
Barley beta-glucans have been found to promote health in various ways, and have been the focus of much attention in the US and Europe.
Although barley beta-glucans are found in greater quantities in barley grains (approximately 3-6%) than in the grains of other grasses, because of barley's distinct flavor as well as the difficulty of processing them, it has proven difficult to bring barley beta-glucans to market.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical 1xbet 등록ncentrated our efforts on the functional value of barley, and used a type of barley that 1xbet 등록ntains beta-glucans in greater quantities (approximately 10%) in order to develop a product that would be a palatable breakfast food. In particular, each box of Otsuka's "Omugi Rice" recreates the flavor of freshly 1xbet 등록oked barley rice and provides 3,000 mg of barley beta-glucans, yet takes just two minutes to prepare using a microwave.
1xbet 등록 is advocating the benefits of barley, and proposing a new way of eating a barley beta-glucan enriched breakfast.

• *1The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized a health claim for the assertion that the 1xbet 등록nsumption of 3,000 mg of barley beta-glucans lowers the risk of 1xbet 등록ronary heart disease. In addition, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved a health claim for the assertion that the 1xbet 등록nsumption of 3,000 mg or more of barley beta-glucans lowers blood cholesterol and reduces risk of (1xbet 등록ronary) heart disease.
