  • Otsuka has been conducting soy research for many years. A joint US-Japan equol research collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Business Division of Otsuka Pharmaceutical, proves that we are the field leader in the research of safety 1xbet 카지노 efficacy of equol. This study contributes to women's health who are 40 1xbet 카지노 over during 1xbet 카지노 after menopause. The company has also isolated the lactic acid bacterium that produces equol 1xbet 카지노 developed technology to produce equol by fermenting soy germ. On April 2, after 18 years of research, Otsuka will launch EQUELLE, a food product containing equol for easy daily consumption.
  • Due to a rapid decrease in hormone levels after age forty, women undergo a range of physical 1xbet 카지노 emotional changes. Caring for their health during this stage of life will enhance the quality of life 1xbet 카지노 life expectancy. However, women sometimes suffer alone, unable to obtain information on what they need to do, 1xbet 카지노 when. Staff with expert knowledge will be located throughout Japan to explain women 40 1xbet 카지노 over about the importance of healthcare.
  • Equol, produced from a soy isoflavone, especially daidzen, in the intestine is known to act like an estrogen. But only around 50% of Japanese women 1xbet 카지노 30% of European 1xbet 카지노 American women have the capacity to produce it. It is important to all women to continuously take equol to maintain 1xbet 카지노 improve health.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Taro Iwamoto) has announced the April 2, 2014 launch of EQUELLE at pharmacies, hospitals 1xbet 카지노 clinics nationwide. The product will also be available via the Otsuka Plus One e-commerce website. EQUELLE is a processed food made with lactic acid bacteria from fermented soy germ containing equol.

In an aging society with an increasing average lifespan, 2012 data from the Ministry of Health, Labour 1xbet 카지노 Welfare indicate that the gap between healthy life expectancy 1xbet 카지노 average life expectancy is 9.2 years for men 1xbet 카지노 12.8 years for women. This means that women are spending around one-seventh of their actual life either bedridden or in care. Because the extension of healthy life expectancy 1xbet 카지노 better quality of life for women is becoming more important, the government has made women's health one of the pillars of the government's "New Health Frontier Strategy".

Rapid falls in hormone levels among women from their forties onwards causes a range of physical 1xbet 카지노 emotional changes, 1xbet 카지노 accurate knowledge 1xbet 카지노 information about these changes is desirable for proper management. In addition, proper care during this stage of life has significant implications for the lives of women as they age, 1xbet 카지노 is important for extending healthy life expectancy.

About Equol

Equol is a metabolite produced from daidzen, a soybean isoflavone, through the action of intestinal bacteria. It is produced within the intestine by consuming soybeans, which bind with estrogen receptors to act like weaker female hormones (estrogen). The consumption of soybeans or soy isoflavones can therefore be expected to contribute to the maintenance 1xbet 카지노 betterment of women's health. However, it is said that only around 50% of people who eat soybeans, such as Japanese 1xbet 카지노 Chinese, 1xbet 카지노 30% of American 1xbet 카지노 European women produce equol*1. Also, the intestinal bacteria of women who are able to produce equol may fluctuate on a daily basis depending upon their health status 1xbet 카지노 stress levels, so that equol production may vary, or even suddenly cease.
We believe it is important for the maintenance 1xbet 카지노 improvement of women's health that all women, both those who can 1xbet 카지노 cannot produce equol, consume equol on a daily basis.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical research 1xbet 카지노 development

Over many years of soy research, Otsuka Pharmaceutical has focused on the relationship between equol 1xbet 카지노 emotional 1xbet 카지노 physical changes in menopausal women. Research into equol was begun in 1996 at the Saga Nutraceuticals Research Institute, 1xbet 카지노 in 2002 the Lactococcus 20-92, which produces equol, was successfully isolated. Both the Pharmaceuticals Business Division 1xbet 카지노 the Nutraceuticals*2Business Division have conducted a range of research in both Japan 1xbet 카지노 the U.S. into the safety 1xbet 카지노 usefulness of equol produced using this lactic acid bacterium to ferment soy germ (natural S-equol), resulting in various research reports that have established Otsuka as a global leader in equol research.
