Lack of motivation, difficulty, may be male menopause⁉︎ Doctor recommend herbal remedies for each type of menopause
With age, testosterone declines. It is known that men can also experience menopausal symptoms at that time.
As with the treatment of menopausal symptoms in women, lifestyle modification is recommended.
However, if there is still no improvement, medical treatment is necessary. Specifically, Western medical treatment for men includes testosterone replacement, in the same way that female hormones are replaced during the female menopause.
In Japan, injections are covered by insurance. Another method of treatment is the use of herbal medicine.
Today, I would like to talk about such herbal medicine.
Male Menopause Helps! Explanation of recommended herbal medicine
In medicine, male menopause is considered to be a state of "kidney deficiency" in which the reproductive function has declined. This is accompanied by a deficiency of qi, the source of ecological energy.
Also, aging causes "Oketsu", which is a condition in which the circulation of blood becomes sluggish.
At the same time, "Suidoku" occurs due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and decreased bladder function, symptoms of which become more apparent with age.
As the name implies, Suidoku is a condition in which the water in the body cannot be properly drained out. This causes a variety of problems.
In addition, due to a decline in basic physical strength, the digestive and absorptive systems, immune system, and mental activity all decline, resulting in a "spleen deficiency. In other words, the circulation of Qi, blood, and water is impaired, and the digestive system is also weakened, resulting in a variety of disorders.
Male Menopause from a Herbal Medicine Perspective
To briefly review the conditions of male menopause, we can say that the following conditions occur: "Jinkyo" or decreased reproductive function, "Oketsu" or stagnation of blood flow, "Suidoku" or water retention, and "Hikyo" or decreased mental activity and physical strength.
Herbal Medicines for Menopausal "Spleen Deficiency" Type
For "Hikyo" type of fatigue and low energy, Hochuwei Kitto is used. Hochueyekitou is suitable when mental depression and qi deficiency are added to physical weakness. It is also suited for digestive symptoms and a constitution with drooping internal organs.
Is it right for you?
It is difficult to know, so if you are concerned about this, you should visit a clinic for consultation. herbal medicine is often used in the treatment of female menopause, but it can be expected to be effective in the same way for male menopause.
If you are concerned about your symptoms, it is a good idea to use herbal medicine as an option.

As many of you know, this is a typical method of hay fever in medicine.
It is getting cooler and cooler, and there are hay fever cases in Maki.
I would like to talk about medicine and why allergic runny nose occurs.
There are various kinds of allergies, but today I would like to talk about allergic rhinitis and hay fever.
The nose is a respiratory organ, as you all know, of course.
The nose is an excellent respiratory organ, along with the mouth.
Especially in winter, dry, cold winds or winds containing viruses and bacteria come in.
If you inhale through the mouth, it is not good because it directly hits the tonsils or enters the lungs. Through the nose, the lining of the nose is moist and warm. The mucous membranes, immune system, and nasal hairs are all needed to keep viruses, bacteria, and foreign substances from entering the body. This is to prevent viruses, bacteria, and foreign substances from sticking to the mucous membranes, immune system, and nose hairs and entering the body. In other words, it is a humidifier and air purifier.
So you have to use your nose. Recently, the number of mouth breathers is increasing. Many people consult with us about atopic dermatitis, but many of them are mouth breathers.
So it is important to be conscious of this and start by correcting it.
Western medicine's allergy treatment is medicine to suppress allergies, but what causes allergies is the allergen.
That is what we check for with a patch test. So, for example, if you are allergic to cedar or ragweed, you would be tested.
However, there are an infinite number of allergens on the earth.
Therefore, there is no end to the number of substances that can be studied and avoided one by one.
Western medicine attacks the cause of the problem by finding the cause. The same is true of antibiotics.
medicine, on the other hand, tries to cure the body. There may be various causes, but it is a harmonious act of adjusting the body to see if there are any problems in the body that can receive them.
In medicine, we also consider hay fever to be a problem for the body. So this is a guideline for what kind of person has the constitution to take this Shoseiryuto.
I always say that you have to think about what kind of person you are using medicine for.
The guideline for this is this watery runny nose, which means that the body is cold.
Well, those with good intuition may have figured it out by now, but as I have said many times before, this is "Suidoku".
So, if you have excess water in your body, your body will react in this way, which is to produce water. This is what is considered hay fever in medicine.
Allergic rhinitis.
So the body's reaction is to produce water. So it's not a bad thing. Rather, it means that you are taking in too much water.
It means that your body is getting cold. It is a reaction to cure that.
So this Shoseiryutou, like Kuzuneitou, contains herbal medicines that warm the body, such as Maou and Keihi, which warm the body and improve water metabolism.
Therefore, it warms up the body, improves water metabolism, and eliminates Suidoku.
Therefore, we should not rely only on Shoseiryuto, but we also need to consider whether we are taking too much water and whether we are cooling our body, and we need to take care of our health. This can also be said about hay fever.

Today I would like to explain about Shoseiryuto, one of the five most commonly used by doctors
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "Shoseiryuto" is hay fever. I am sure many of you know about it. When people think of herbal medicine for hay fever, they think of Xiaoqinglongtang. However, not everyone can use Shoseiryuto, and I would like to explain about that today.
So, what do you think, don't you all think "Shoseiryuto" is a cool name?
The name "Seiryu" refers to the eastern part of China. It is a herbal medicine named after the dragon that protects the East.
The "blue" refers to the color of the main ingredient, Maou;Ephedra.
The formula is as follows,
Maou Ephedra
Celery Cinnamon Bark
Peony
Glycyrrhiza
Ginger
Saisin Asiasarum Root
Gomishi Schisandra Fruit
Pinellia ternate
These are so-called "ghee-hyo," or in short, they make you sweat, or induce sweating.
They also suppress cough, phlegm, cramps, and pain.
It also contains peony and licorice to suppress swelling.
The role of Shoseiryuto is to be a herbal medicine specialized for patients with watery runny nose, or rather, a dry runny nose.
It is used for people of medium to moderate fitness.
However, there is a word of caution.
It is best used for patients who are physically strong and have a runny nose. It is very similar to Kakkonto because of its strong water-removing action.
Kakkonto also causes sweating and soothes symptoms.
If used too frequently, it can be physically exhausting.
It is not a problem when used as a Western medicine, i.e., temporarily or for a few days, but it should not be used continuously.
So, we use various herbal medicines for hay fever, but to gently improve the allergy constitution, another herbal medicine is prescribed, so Shoseiryuto is not used in all cases with hay fever.
I think it is very important to pay attention to these points and take the most suitable Kampo medicine for you after consulting with a specialist.
Today, I have explained about Shoseiryuto.

Pharmacists answer questions from parents with young children
Today's question is.
"I have a small child. Is there any herbal medicine for runny nose and hay fever that a 2 year old can take?"
Yes, we do.
As many of you may know, there is a herbal medicine called Shoseongryu-tou, which can be taken by people who are at least 2 years old.
It is available in small doses for children. Shoseiryu-to is used for a runny nose caused by cold or a runny nose that is not yellow but watery.
Recently, I have been asked,
"Is there any herbal medicine that can be given to children?"
I have received several questions from people who want to give their children something as gentle to the body as herbal medicine.
Lately, they have been getting stricter, warning me not to come to the day-care center just because of a runny nose.
Then, I am not comfortable going to the hospital just for that. Some people don't want to go to the hospital and infect them with another cold because what they have is fine.
What does it taste like? Does it taste good enough for children to drink?
It depends on the child's sense of taste. This is not the most bitter type of herbal medicine, but some children may have a hard time with it.
In that case, you may need to try mixing it with 100% grape juice or apple juice.
Many children like grape juice, so mix it and let the mother taste a sip to make sure the taste is much milder before giving it to the child.
The pharmacist's own first-hand experience of squeezing oranges and dissolving the herbal medicine in hot water, and when it cooled, giving it to the child in tangerine juice, even the child took the medicine.
Some runny noses are colored, some drip, and some are sticky. Among them, this herb is compatible with a clear and smooth runny nose.
So, if you are cold, you are more likely to have such a florid appearance, so you need to take the usual measures to keep your stomach and intestines cool.
Do not eat ice cream or drink ice water.
If possible, it is better to consume warm food, which makes it harder to have such a runny nose.
In this issue, we talked about herbal medicine for runny nose.

In this issue, I will discuss the effects of eating natto on the eyes
Japan is home to more fermented foods than any other country in the world. Miso, soy sauce, sake, vinegar, mirin, and many others are essential to Japanese cuisine.
Fermentation not only improves the preservation of foodstuffs, but also enhances their nutritional value.
Natto, made by fermenting steamed soybeans with bacillus natto, a type of Bacillus subtilis, is one of the traditional fermented foods that Japan is proud of. These days, many people may be eating it in the hope of boosting their immune system.
Natto is a very nutritious food that contains high-quality vegetable protein, iron, calcium, potassium, dietary fiber, B-complex vitamins such as B2, B6, C, E, and K, and Nattokinase, a type of K2 enzyme.
Natto is also good for the body, and is recommended for the prevention of eye diseases, and in fact, natto is sometimes recommended for people with such diseases.
In this article, we would like to talk about the effects of natto on the eyes.
Natto prevents blood clots⁉
The reason why natto is good for the eyes is due to the enzyme "Nattokinase" contained in the sticky part of natto.
Nattokinase has the effect of dissolving blood clots and preventing blood clots. A blood clot is a blood clot that forms in blood vessels.
Abnormalities in lipids and sugar, as well as high blood pressure, can damage the inner lining of blood vessels and endothelial cells, making it easier for a blood clot to form. If a blood clot clogs the heart, it can lead to myocardial infarction, and if it clogs the brain, it can lead to cerebral infarction. Both are serious, life-threatening diseases.
In the case of the eye, blood clots are not life-threatening, but they can block blood vessels in the retina, leading to blindness in the worst case scenario.
Thus, "blood clots" are very scary for the human body.
What are some of the diseases in which blood clots form in the eye and cause vision loss?
Arteries and veins run through the center of the retina, from which blood vessels branch out and reach the entire retina.
Central retinal artery occlusion occurs when the central artery is clogged, and branch retinal artery occlusion occurs when the branching arteries are clogged.
Similarly, central retinal vein occlusion occurs when the central vein is clogged, and branch retinal vein occlusion occurs when a branching vein is clogged.
Of these, central retinal artery occlusion, in which the central artery of the retina is inhabited, is one of the most common emergency diseases in ophthalmology with a high risk of blindness.
Treatment is performed to dissolve the blood clot by massaging the eye and using medication to dissolve and drain the clogged blood clot. Time to start the treatment is considered very important because if the treatment is not carried out as soon as possible, retinal cells will become necrotic, making it impossible to see.
The treatment may include an intravenous infusion called "urokinase" to dissolve blood clots. The main component of a blood clot is a fibrous protein called fibrin.
Urokinase has the effect of breaking down fibrin. It is used to reopen blood flow by dissolving the clot.
In fact, Nattokinase contained in natto has the effect of increasing this urokinase in the body. Drugs that dissolve blood clots are expensive to treat and may not be used depending on the condition of the body.
However, natto can safely prevent blood clots at a low cost and may prevent such a risky disease of blindness.
This is the first reason why we recommend eating natto to prevent blood clots.
Suppression of bad blood vessels called neovascularization
Although still in the experimental stage in mice, Nattokinase has been reported to inhibit bad blood vessels called neovascular vessels. Central retinal vein occlusion and branch retinal vein occlusion, in which a branch of the central retinal vein is clogged, cause fundus hemorrhage, retinal swelling, rapid loss of vision, and visual field loss.
When a blood clot forms in a retinal blood vessel and interrupts blood circulation, retinal cells become necrotic. New blood vessels, called neovascular vessels, grow from the necrotic cells, and nonfunctional pathological blood vessels grow into the retina.
They are very fragile and easily ruptured, causing massive bleeding in the eye. If left untreated, it can cause an even more severe form of intractable glaucoma called neovascular glaucoma. It has been reported that Nattokinase may have the effect of suppressing these new blood vessels.
In addition, blood clots in the blood vessels of the retina can cause fundus hemorrhage, which can lead to swelling of the macula, an important part of the eye for vision. There is a treatment for this problem called vitreous injection, which is injected into the eye.
This is a groundbreaking treatment that began in Japan around 2010 and is the only treatment for these diseases. Although the treatment is covered by insurance, the cost is expensive: approximately 50,000 yen for 30% of the patients and 15,000 yen for 10% of the patients.
In addition, once injected, the drug is not the end of the treatment. The period during which the drug is effective is short, and regular administration every two to three months is necessary. Also, if the drug is used for a long period of time, it may become less effective.
Vitreous injections can halt the disease, but it is difficult to cure the disease with injections alone. Laser treatment may be necessary, and even then, the result is often visual sequelae such as distortion and darkening.
We recommend natto to avoid this kind of disease. This is also because, as before, Nattokinase is known to prevent blood clots.
Nattokinase is not only expected to prevent blood clots, but it is also reported to inhibit the formation of new blood vessels, which are bad blood vessels, although this is still in the animal experiment stage.
Therefore, we usually recommend eating natto not only for the prevention of thrombosis, but also for those who have blocked blood vessels in this way, in anticipation of its effect.
It may also be especially good for those who are already under treatment for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, or hypertension and are at high risk of thrombosis, or for those who already have venous occlusion in one eye and want to protect their good eye at all costs. The effects of these blood clots are not limited to the eyes, of course.
Cardiovascular mortality caused by blood clots is increasing dramatically worldwide.
The most common diseases caused by thrombosis are myocardial infarction and stroke. In Japan, malignancies are the leading cause of death, cardiac disease is second, and stroke is third.
Worldwide, the leading causes of death are heart disease and stroke. This has led to a growing interest in research on drugs and nutrition that effectively dissolve blood clots.
One of these foods is Nattokinase, which is found in natto (fermented soybeans).
Preventive effects other than blood clots
The effects of natto are not limited to the prevention of blood clots, of course.
Bacillus natto reaches the intestines. It is effective in regulating the intestinal environment by reducing bad bacteria.
Vitamin K2 promotes bone formation and prevents osteoporosis.
In addition, the mucin contained in the sticky part of natto is entangled in carbohydrates and prevents the rapid absorption of carbohydrates. This prevents a rise in blood glucose levels.
Lecithin contained in soybeans has the effect of reducing bad cholesterol and regulating the balance with good cholesterol.
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins. They are efficiently absorbed into the body when taken with fat. The absorption rate in the body is high when taken with eggs.
Natto should be eaten raw as it is heat inactivated. Thus, natto is not only rich in nutrients and good for the body, but is also recommended for preventing eye diseases of the eyes.
Cautions for Eating Natto
However, there are some cautions.
The vitamin K in natto blocks the action of warfarin, which has the effect of thinning the blood, so you should not eat natto while you are taking this medicine.
However, there is no problem if you take a Nattokinase supplement that does not contain vitamin K. Secondly, if you eat too much natto, there will be too much bacillus natto in your intestines, causing pain and vomiting. 1 pack a day is enough.
Natto also has a distinctive odor, and it is a food that can be liked or disliked by different people, but if you are not averse to it, why not try eating a pack a day?
Summary of this issue
To summarize this talk, first, natto contains vegetable protein, iron B vitamins E and K Nattokinase.
Second, Nattokinase has a thrombolytic effect and can safely thin the blood.
Third, it can be expected to prevent vascular lesions of the retina, which has a high risk of blindness, as well as suppress blood vessels of the heart disease system.
Fourth, it has been reported to improve immunity, prevent bone fractures, and inhibit bad bacteria.
Finally, fifth, please be careful if you are taking warfarin; one pack a day is sufficient.
As you can see, natto, one of Japan's most popular fermented foods, is expected to have a variety of health benefits. I also eat a pack a day.
Some people recommend taking it in the evening because blood clots often form at night, but I think it is not necessary to be so particular about the timing of eating it.
In addition to this type of diet, it is also important to develop an exercise routine to prevent blood clots from forming. Please refer to this article if you like.
In this issue, I would like to talk about the health benefits of natto for eyes.

Marisa: "That's serious. Are you taking any probiotics?"
Reimu: "Is probiotics ...... medicine? It seems ...... dangerous to use such medicines on a regular basis, doesn't it?"
Marisa: "You think so? Then, this time, I will explain the benefits of probiotics and what will happen if you keep taking them"
Reimu: "Please"
Marisa: "Then, please take your time until the end this time too"
Efficacy of Probiotics
Reimu: "What is a bowel regulator? I know that it is a medicine that regulates the intestines. I can sort of understand it from the words, but how does it regulate the intestines?"
Marisa: "Yes, let's start by explaining what a bowel regulator is"
Reimu: "Okay!
1. Improvement of diarrhea and constipation
Marisa: "The first is to improve diarrhea and constipation"
Reimu: "Can both diarrhea and constipation be improved?" Diarrhea and constipation seem to be opposites"
Marisa: "Actually, diarrhea and constipation have different symptoms, but they are caused by the same thing: an imbalance in the intestinal environment. Because intestinal regulators have the effect of adjusting the intestinal environment, both can be improved"
Reimu: "I see what you mean! So you're saying that a probiotics has the same efficacy as a laxative?"
Marisa: "No. A probiotics is different from a laxative. Laxatives stimulate the intestines and promote bowel movement. While most laxatives stimulate the intestines and promote bowel movement, probiotics regulators regulate the intestinal environment laxatives stimulate the intestines to promote bowel movements, whereas bowel regulators regulate the intestinal environment and lead to bowel movements that are closer to natural"
Reimu: "Wow, there is such a difference!"
2. Improvement of abdominal distension
Marisa: "Also helps with bloating."
Reimu: "Bloating? What is that?"
Marisa: "Bloating is a painful condition caused by a buildup of gas in the intestines. It is caused by an excessive amount of gas that is not properly expelled"
Reimu: "Really, how can there be excessive gas?"
Marisa: "Excessive gas is caused by eating too many fiber-rich foods or by a disorder in the balance of intestinal bacteria"
Reimu: "Hmmm..."
Marisa: "When we sit in the same posture for a long time or when the movement of the stomach and intestines is decreased due to stress, etc., it is difficult to expel gas properly"
Marisa: "When the stomach is not able to expel the waste properly, it accumulates in the abdomen"
Reimu: "I see. ...... Dietary fiber is good for the stomach and intestines. But if the gas generated by overeating is not properly expelled, it can lead to abdominal bloating"
3. Improved immunity
Marisa: "Yes, and furthermore, intestinal preparations can also improve immunity"
Reimu: "What is immunity?"
Marisa: "Simply put, it is the power to protect the body from disease" If this is lowered, you are more susceptible to various diseases"
Reimu: "Really? So the intestinal medicine also boosts the immune system! But why is this medicine for the intestines?"
Marisa: "There are immune cells called intestinal immune system in the intestines" About 70% of immune cells are concentrated in the intestines"
Reimu: "Really? I didn't know that! "
Marisa: "By taking intestinal antiflatulents, lactobacilli reach the small intestine and push the switch for activation of many immune cells in the small intestine. This is the reason why taking intestinal antiflatulents boosts the immune system"
Reimu: "It has a good effect not only on the stomach but also on the whole body......!"
4. Improvement of allergies
Marisa: "That's what I mean" And the intestinal preparations are expected to improve allergic diseases as well"
Reimu: "What! Even allergies? Even allergies?"
Marisa: "That's right. Allergic diseases are diseases caused by an overreaction of the immune system. Intestinal immunity, as I explained earlier, also regulates the immune system so that immune cells do not react more than necessary"
Reimu: "I see! So that's why the intestinal regulators can improve allergic diseases"
5. Skin Care
Marisa: "That's right" As you can see, this intestinal regimen is good for various parts of the body, but it is also good for the skin"
Reimu: "Also for the skin! ? Oh, surely you may have heard that your skin is rough if your intestinal environment is disturbed......!"
Marisa: "You know very well, Reimu. That's right, the intestinal environment has a lot to do with the condition of the skin"
Reimu: "I knew it! How exactly is it related?"
Marisa: "The nutrients we take in from our diet are absorbed in the intestines, but if there is an imbalance in the intestinal environment, the body will not be able to absorb the nutrients it needs properly"
Reimu: "Mmm-hmm""
Marisa: "Then the skin lacks the necessary nutrients, which leads to skin problems"
Reimu: "So your skin needs nutrients as well"
Marisa: "That's right, continuous accumulation of feces in the intestines, bad bacteria become dominant and the balance of the intestinal environment is disrupted. Then, harmful substances produced by the bad bacteria accumulate"
Reimu: "That's terrible! That's terrible!"
Marisa: "When that happens, the toxic substances are absorbed from the intestines and circulate throughout the body through the bloodstream, causing rough skin"
Reimu: "I see. That's why it is good for the skin to have a healthy intestinal environment"
Marisa: "Yes" The main ingredient of intestinal regulators is good bacteria. By taking good bacteria every day, you can make your skin beautiful as well"
Reimu: "I understand well! Intestinal supplements really have a lot of benefits for the body, don't they?"
6. Increase in happy hormones
Marisa: "Hmmm" Listen and be amazed, Reimu. In fact, it is not only the body that benefits from being normal"
Reimu: "What? What do you mean?"
Marisa: "Oh my God, ...... the mind also benefits!"
Reimu: "Yes! For the mind too?"
Marisa: "Yes! Reimu, do you know what serotonin is?"
Reimu: "Serotonin? I don't know what it is"
Marisa: "Serotonin is a hormone that is secreted when we are happy when we are happy" It is also known as the happy hormone"
Reimu: "Ah! I've never heard of serotonin before, but I might have heard the name 'happy hormone' before!"
Marisa: "There may be many people like that. Serotonin is the happy hormone, and about 90% of serotonin is produced in the intestines"
Reimu: "Really? That's surprising!"
Marisa: "That's right. The amount of serotonin secreted depends on the intestinal environment" If there is a lot of good bacteria in the intestines, serotonin secretion increases, and if there is a lot of bad bacteria, serotonin secretion decreases"
Reimu: "Ah! Earlier, you said that the main ingredient of intestinal antiflatulents is good bacteria, right? I see! That's why serotonin increases! "
Marisa: "You remembered well. You are right"
Ingredients in Probiotics
Reimu: "Even I remember it correctly. Hey, by the way, Marisa:, what exactly are the ingredients in an intestinal preparation?"
Marisa: "As I mentioned earlier, most of the ingredients in intestinal tablets are good bacteria, but there are several types of good bacteria, each with different effects. There are three types of good bacteria that are mainly used in intestinal preparations"
Reimu: "Mmm-hmm""
Marisa: "The first is bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria are the most abundant beneficial bacteria in the human intestine and are mainly found in the large intestine"
Reimu: "I have heard of bifidobacteria! "
Marisa: "Bifidobacteria work by breaking down sugar to produce lactic acid and acetic acid. Acetic acid has a strong antibacterial effect and can suppress the growth of bad bacteria and protect the intestinal mucosa"
Reimu: "Hee!"
Marisa: "Second is butyric acid bacteria, which break down sugar and carbohydrates to produce butyric acid. Butyric acid bacteria inhibit the function of good bacteria and provide energy to promote peristalsis of the intestines"
Reimu: "Sounds amazing! But what is peristalsis?"
Marisa: "Peristalsis is the movement of intestinal contents" It is a very important function"
Reimu: "I see. I have never heard of butyric acid bacteria before, but it is an important bacterium"
Marisa: "That's right" Butyric acid bacteria are bacteria that have been attracting attention in recent years as a source of energy for the large intestine and important for the normal functioning of the large intestine"
Reimu: "I see!"
Marisa: "And the third is lactobacilli. Lactobacilli break down sugar and produce lactic acid"
Reimu: "Lactobacilli are like the most effective bacteria out of the three" What effect does lactic acid have?"
Marisa: "By producing lactic acid, it makes the intestines slightly acidic, suppresses the growth of bad bacteria, and creates an environment in which good bacteria can easily increase"
Reimu: "Wow!"
Marisa: "By the way, there are also types of lactobacilli, and the main lactobacilli used in intestinal preparations are ferricaskin, acidophilus, gasseri, and sporicidial lactobacilli"
Reimu: "These are all names I've never heard before......"
Marisa: "It also contains Bacillus natto" Bacillus natto is one of the glycolytic bacteria, which is resistant to stomach acid, germinates in the intestines, and helps the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli"
Reimu: "Wow! Bacillus natto can also be consumed outside of natto"
Marisa: "Bacillus natto helps the growth of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus lactobacillus, so it is often taken together with Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus lactobacillus, not by itself"
Reimu: "Wow, I am learning a lot. After listening to Marisa, I have become interested in intestinal preparations" But there are various kinds of intestinal preparations, aren't there? What should I use?"
Biofermin and Biosly
Marisa: "Two typical intestinal preparations are Biofermin and Biosly"
Reimu: "Oh, I may have heard of both of them" What is the difference between them?"
Marisa: "First, let me explain about Biofermin" Biofermin is a probiotics preparation recommended for people who are concerned about the care of intestinal flora and those who are concerned about disordered eating"
Reimu: "Intestinal flora? What is ......?"
Marisa: "Intestinal flora refers to the bacteria that live in the intestines" Bacteria living in the intestines are clumped together by each type of fungus and are tightly packed on the walls of the intestines without any space between them. This state is likened to a flower garden and is called intestinal flora"
Reimu: "Oh, I see! How many bacteria are there in the intestines?"
Marisa: "About a thousand trillion"
Reimu: "A thousand trillion! That's a level of the world we can't even imagine......"
Marisa: "It is essential to maintain the proper balance of this intestinal flora in order to maintain good health"
Reimu: "Hmmm" What is the proper balance?"
Marisa: "First, there are three types of bacteria that make up the intestinal flora. There are good bacteria that have a positive effect on the body, bad bacteria that have a negative effect on the body, and opportunistic bacteria that do not belong to either of the three types"
Reimu: "Opportunistic pathogen is an interesting name, isn't it? So what is the ideal ratio of these three types?"
Marisa: "Seventy percent opportunistic bacteria, 20 percent good bacteria, and 10 percent bad bacteria. This is the ideal intestinal balance"
Reimu: "Wow, opportunistic bacteria are the most abundant"
Marisa: "Yes. It would be best if this could be maintained, but the intestinal environment can easily change due to various factors such as diet and stress"
Reimu: "I see. So that's where Biofermin comes in"
Marisa: "That's what I mean. By the way, it contains lactobacilli, butyric acid bacteria, and saccharomycetes"
Reimu: "Then what about Biosuly?"
Marisa: "Biosuly is recommended for people who want to improve constipation and soft stools immediately. It contains Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bacillus faecalis, and Bacillus acidophilus"
Reimu: "Hmmm" So Biofermin is for people who are concerned about their intestinal flora and diet, and Biosly ...... is for people who want to improve their constipation and soft stools immediately. Hey, hey, Marisa, do you have a preference for one over the other?"
Marisa: "Currently, there is no data from clinical trials showing that one of Biofermin or Biosuly is better than the other"
Reimu: "I see. Then which one sells better?"
Marisa: "For your information, Biosuly is No.1 in the best-selling ranking of major mail-order websites. But Biofermin is No.3, too, and it's ranked high, and it's ranked high. So you can't judge it by this ranking alone"
Reimu: "I see. So you're saying there's no difference in effectiveness no matter which one I choose?"
Marisa: "There will be no big difference. However, the intestinal environment differs from person to person, so there may be differences in which intestinal regimen is easier to listen to. So, if you use one and find it hard to listen to or you don't feel the effect, you should try the other one"
Reimu: "Okay! Then I'll try my best to try both! I was thinking about ......, but maybe it's not a good idea to use them together?"
Marisa: "There is no reason that they should not be used together. It hasn't been clearly determined yet, but there is a view that combining several types of bacteria can be more effective"
Reimu: "Is that so?"
Marisa: "Yes, In fact, there are reports that when saccharomycetes and lactobacilli were cultured, they multiplied more when mixed than when cultivated alone, and there are also reports that the treatment of certain diseases with multiple types of bacteria with steel materials was effective"
Reimu: "Yes!"
Marisa: "However, since it cannot be determined yet, we can say that one or the other dose is sufficient"
Other intestinal preparations
Reimu: "I see. By the way, besides Biofermin and Biosly, are there any other intestinal regulators out there?"
Marisa: "Oh, of course there are. There are three major types of intestinal preparations"
Reimu: "Mmm-hmm"
Marisa: "The first one is the type that aims to regulate the intestinal environment. It works to balance the good bacteria and bad bacteria and bring the intestines closer to a normal state"
Reimu: "It seems to work in the most orthodox way"
Marisa: "The second type helps digestion when the stomach is upset. It contains ingredients that promote digestion as well as ingredients that help the good bacteria work"
Reimu: "Oh, it's perfect for when I eat too much or carry too much"
Marisa: "The third type helps relieve bloating at night. It contains an antifoaming agent that improves bloating by collapsing gas bubbles in the intestines"
Reimu: "This is the effect of relieving abdominal bloating that you explained to me in the section on the efficacy of intestinal regulators!
Marisa: "That's right. I want you to think about what effect you want to get the most and use that as an indicator when choosing a probiotics"
How to choose a probiotics
Reimu: "I see......But how can you tell which type of intestinal preparation is right for you by looking at it? I'm not too sure......"
Marisa: "That's true. Then let me explain a little more about what to look for when choosing a probiotics"
Reimu: "That would be great!"
Marisa: "First of all, people who feel their stomachs are tense. For such people, I recommend a type that contains lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, antifoaming agents, stomachicides, etc"
Reimu: "Mmm-hmm"
Marisa: "For those who are concerned about the smell of fart, I recommend the type that contains lactobacillus acidophilus, bacillus natto, etc"
Reimu: "Does a bad gastrointestinal condition also make farts smell bad?"
Marisa: "Yes. When bad bacteria increase in the intestines, they cause proteins to putrefy. When that happens, your farts will smell bad. If you start to notice the smell, it may be a sign that your intestines are getting worse"
Reimu: "I see......"
Marisa: "For people with a weak stomach and indigestion, the type that contains a stomachic medicine is good"
Reimu: "Mmm-hmm. So there are various types of intestinal preparations"
Marisa: "Yes. That is why I explained the tips on how to choose the best one, but the best thing is to ask for an expert's opinion"
Reimu: "So you are saying it is best to ask at the hospital?"
Marisa: "Yes, I would say that it is best to go to a hospital, tell them your symptoms, and ask them to prescribe the best medicine for you"
Reimu: "Hmmm. If I don't have time to go to the hospital, I will refer to what you taught me today"
Is it safe for regular use?
Reimu: "Hey Marisa: can I ask you one more question?"
Marisa: "Sure. What is it?"
Reimu: "Is it still better not to take intestinal regulators except when my bowels are in bad shape? Or can I continue taking them even when I feel better?"
Marisa: "It is safe to take rectal supplements on an ongoing basis. Or rather, it is advisable to take it continuously"
Reimu: "Is that so?"
Marisa: "Yes" In fact, rectal supplements have no immediate effect. So you should take it every day without fail as much as possible. You should continue for at least four weeks"
Reimu: "I see, that is somewhat surprising. I have an image that it is not good to keep taking medicines all the time"
Marisa: "That may be true if it is a medicine with side effects, but rectal supplements do not have side effects. So it is safe to continue taking them"
Reimu: "What, there are no side effects?"
Marisa: "Yes it does. There is a very rare case of lactobacilli causing a disease called bacteremia, but it is really rare, and considering that food also contains lactobacilli, I can say that there is no need to worry about it"
Reimu: "Is that so?"
Marisa: "Yes. According to a study conducted over a period of four years on approximately 2.5 million people living in southern Finland, only eight cases of lactobacillus bacteremia were reported in four years"
Reimu: "Certainly, if the probability is that high, it is likely to be found in any medicine, so I guess we don't have to worry too much about it"
Marisa: "Yes, it is. As long as the dosage and administration of each medicine is followed, I think we can say that the possibility of health problems is very small"
Reimu: "Mmm-hmm""
Marisa: "Yes, there are other advantages to taking the intestines continuously. If you take intestinal regulators continuously, the intestinal environment gradually improves, and diarrhea and constipation are less likely to occur, or chronic diarrhea and constipation are improved"
Reimu: "That sounds great! I'll try the intestinal regimen ASAP! ...... But I'm worried about forgetting to take it. I sometimes accidentally forget to take it ......"
Marisa: "If you forget to take it, you can take the probiotics at once, even if you forgot to take it"
Reimu: "Oh really? I feel relieved"
Marisa: "By the way, the intestinal medicine is not a medicine that needs to be taken at a certain time every day. So even a forgetful person like Reimu can take it safely"
Reimu: "Well, I'll try not to forget as much as possible. Then I will take it right away!”
Marisa: "I hope it will work soon. That's all for this time"
Reimu: "I had an image that rectal supplements are a little scary, but I'm relieved to hear that it's not like that at all”
Marisa: "Yes. The intestinal regulators do not have any side effects and are a drug with many potential benefits. People who are managing intestinal problems as well as those who want to prevent them should try taking them”
Reimu: "I understand!"
Marisa: "Maintaining good intestinal health also means maintaining good overall physical health”
Reimu: "Well then, see you again! See you soon!”

I was told I was a doctor's killer... I kept drinking miso soup every day... I've been drinking miso soup every day...
Reimu: "Zulu zulu ah, my body is warming up"
Marisa: "What the hell is that? What are you eating, Reimu?"
Kime-maru: "I'm eating something that looks kind of warm..."
Reimu: "Ah, miso soup, miso soup... I drink it every day, but the miso soup I drink in winter is the best..."
Marisa: "Miso soup, I want some too!"
Reimu: "Okay, okay♪ Today I put in plenty of wakame seaweed and tofu, so it's a very satisfying miso soup."
Kime-maru: "It looks really delicious... ♪ By the way, Reimu and Marisa, do you know that miso is incredibly good for humans?"
Reimu: "Outrageously?"
Marisa: "Well, I don't have a bad image of it, but I don't really have an image of it being an amazingly great thing either."
Reimu: "Sure, sure, sure! Tell me more about it."
Kime-maru: "Yes, I see... this time I will slowly explain about miso, Japan's proud health food, the power of miso, which has even been called the "doctor-killer", and the little-known points to note about miso..."
Kime-maru: "Do you drink miso soup every day? I'm introducing recommended miso, so if you're interested in it after listening to this talk, please check it out."
Well then, today too, the diner opens slowly.
What is miso?
Kime-maru: "First, let me briefly explain about miso. Miso is one of fermented foods made by fermenting soybeans, rice, wheat and other grains, combined with salt and koji. It is usually distributed in paste form. It is one of Japan's traditional foods and is often used in Japan, but now it has become one of the most famous seasonings overseas as well."
Reimu: "I thought it was something unique to Japan, but I'm very happy that it's also popular overseas. I'm so big that I can enter the world too..."
Kime-maru: "Reimu-san has become big in a sense..."
Reimu: 'I'm hiding the fact that I'm gaining weight at New Year's from you, the viewers, so don't tell me...'
Kime-maru: "I'm sure you know that there are several types of miso, but the differences depend on the maturation period and ingredients."
Marisa: "What kind of things are there, for example?"
Kime-maru: "Shiro-miso, which is used mostly in Kinki, Okayama, Hiroshima and Kagawa prefectures, has a whitish colour due to its short maturation period. Its salt content is lower than others. As those who have eaten it know, it is a miso with a slightly sweet taste."
Reimu: "Oh sure it's a bit sweet! I remember the first time I tried a white miso paste, it was a bit sweet and creamy, and I thought it was really miso! I remember feeling like it was really miso!"
Kime-maru: "And the opposite of white miso is aka miso, and the difference in colour lies in the maturation period. While the white miso mentioned earlier was matured for a short period of time, the aka miso is matured for a longer period of time, which gives it its unique colour."
Marisa: "I wondered why there was such a difference in colour for the same miso, but it was the maturation period that made the difference!"
Reimu: "That means the nutritional ingredυients in it are also different in some places! "
Kime-maru: "And there are different types of miso depending on the ingredients, such as rice miso, barley miso, soybean miso and mixed miso made by combining these ingredients. The types of miso popular in different regions differ depending on the ingredients, with Kyushu, Yamaguchi and Ehime regions using barley miso, the Tokai region (Aichi and Mie) using soybean miso and other regions using rice miso."
Marisa: "If the ingredients are different, the taste will also change, and people who live far from their hometowns may be surprised (laughs)."
Reimu: "I see. I had a vague image of miso as a brown food, but it's quite an interesting food! "
Kime-maru: "Miso is such a delicious food that everyone loves, but in fact, it's not just delicious, miso is packed with a lot of amazing nutrients♪"
Marisa: "I wonder what kind of things are in it."
More amazing than you can imagine? The power of miso
Kime-maru: "As I explained earlier, I said that miso has different names for different ingredients, but soybeans are what's in barley miso, soybean miso and rice miso."
Marisa: "It's all mighty, isn't it?"
Kime-maru: "These soybeans are rich in magnesium, and this magnesium is the ingredient that supports the absorption and activation of vitamin D."
Reimu: "What does vitamin D do?"
Kime-maru: "If vitamin D is deficient, it becomes difficult to form healthy bones, causing osteoporosis and osteomalacia. This vitamin D can be obtained from fish, meat, eggs and mushrooms."
Marisa: "I remember that eels contain a lot of vitamin D!"
Kime-maru: "Vitamin D is important for human beings, but lactic acid bacteria and other good bacteria are also needed to help the absorption of this vitamin D. Miso contains lactic acid bacteria and good bacteria due to the magnesium contained in soy beans and the fermentation process of miso."
Marisa: "Oh, it means that miso contains a number of nutrients that support the absorption and activation of vitamin D beautifully".
Kime-maru: "Yes, so no matter how much vitamin D supplements or how much vitamin D you take, without this magnesium and lactobacillus good bacteria, it cannot be absorbed or activated, so by drinking miso soup, the absorption of vitamin D is activated, and it is also good for your body. It's good for you and your body."
Reimu: "Oh, so if you eat Marisa fish, take vitamin D and drink miso soup together, it's the best thing you can do!"
Marisa: "In Japanese food, that combination is fundamental, and once again we can see that Japanese food is a healthy diet.
Kime-maru: "The next amazing ingredient I'm going to introduce is also found in soya and is tryptophan."
Reimu: "Oh, it's the ingredient that also appeared in oatmeal."
Kime-maru: "Yes, yes♪ In oatmeal, tryptophan was introduced as an ingredient for serotonin, but this tryptophan is converted into niacin under the influence of bacteria in the gut."
Marisa: "What does this niacin do?"
Kime-maru: "Tryptophan and niacin protect cells from viruses. In addition, when vitamin D works, it defeats pathogens.
pathogens. Niacin also prevents damage to the lungs and inhibits pathogen growth.
preventing damage to the lungs, inhibiting the growth of pathogens and improving the immune system.
It seems that niacin has been found to prevent damage to the lungs, inhibit pathogen growth and improve immunity."
Reimu: "Oh, thank goodness for niacin! "
Kime-maru: "And miso is a fermented food.
The dietary fibre, oligosaccharides sucrose and raffinose contained in fermented foods feed intestinal bacteria."
Marisa "So that means the intestinal environment will be regulated."
Kime-maru: "Yes, and research conducted in Japan in 2017 found that people who consume high amounts of fermented foods such as miso and natto have a lower risk of death and milder symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease."
Reimu: "Yes! I hear that if you drink too much miso soup, you can get high blood pressure from too much salt, but isn't there an increased risk of death because of that?"
Kime-maru: "Actually, research at that time also showed that the salt content of miso soup may not be the reason for high blood pressure."
Marisa: "So you don't have to go out of your way to use low-salt miso because you don't want to get high blood pressure?"
Kime-maru: "It's only a possibility, but scientifically speaking, that's the view. Other soy products, such as miso and natto, have been shown to prevent diabetes, reduce high blood pressure and cancer risk, and reduce the risk of cancer.
It seems that there is also talk that soya products such as miso and natto may prevent diabetes, reduce high blood pressure and cancer risk, and have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. There is also some talk that these products may have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects."
Reimu: "If I hear all this, then surely it makes sense that they are called 'doctor-killers'."
Kime-maru: "It is miso that contains magnesium, lactic acid bacteria, good bacteria, oligosaccharide, niacin, etc., various, effective ingredients for people, but if it is made into miso soup, wakame seaweed, tofu, soup stock, shellfish, etc., they are also packed with many nutrients, and it is said that the strongest drink is completed in a lot of them."
Reimu: "Oh! !"
Kime-maru: "I'll put up the recommended miso, so by all means, if you're interested, please check it out♪"
Marisa: "There were times when I didn't drink it because it was too much trouble, but after hearing this story, I want to drink miso soup every day without the hassle..."
Reimu: "Me too, me too!"
Kime-maru: "Then, I'll tell you more about that miso that I recommend..."
The king of miso! The amazing thing about Hatcho miso!
Kime-maru: "The best of all miso is Hatcho miso, also known as the king of miso..."
Marisa: "Hatcho miso is produced in Aichi Prefecture, so if we use the ingredients from earlier, it's bean miso, right?"
Kime-maru: "Yes, Hatcho miso is a bean miso produced in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture.
Hatcho miso is a bean paste produced in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, and has a longer maturation period than white miso, etc."
Reimu: "It's the maturation process that gives it that distinctive colour, isn't it?"
Kime-maru: "The colour is the important point.
Marisa: "The colour?
Kime-maru: "Yes, that colour is caused by the Maillard reaction that occurs when the miso is matured, and this causes it to turn brown, giving it that unique Hatcho miso colour."
Reimu :"Maillard reaction?"
Kime-maru: "Speaking of everyday Maillard reactions, frying onions or grilling meat causes browning, as does roasting coffee beans.
And the pigmentation of soy products such as miso and soy sauce is also caused by the Maillard reaction, which gives them that colour."
Marisa: "Oh, I see!"
Reimu "So that means the ame-iro onions are Maillard onions! I'll say it next time."
Marisa "Don't pretend to be a bit clever."
Reimu "But - why is the Maillard reaction so important?"
Kime-maru "The brown pigment, melanoidin, produced by the Maillard reaction is the ingredient of interest."
Reimu: "Can you tell that in Japanese?"
Marisa: "Don't mistake me for an alien or something."
Kime-maru: "This melanoidin is an ingredient with strong antioxidant properties.
Reimu "What do you mean?"
Kime-maru: "It is said that miso has antioxidant power, but this antioxidant power is almost entirely the power of melanoidin. Hatcho miso, which is matured for a long time and has a very dark colour, is the best in terms of antioxidant power.
The darker the miso is, the more melanoidin it contains."
Marisa: "The darker the colour, the more melanoidin it contains!"
Kime-maru: "This melanoidin is being researched as an ingredient that can be expected to suppress carcinogens and prevent diabetes."
Reimu: "Melanoidin is amazing!"
Kime-maru: "Furthermore, animal experiments have shown that the higher the maturity of miso, the more effective it is in inhibiting cancers other than lung cancer and breast cancer."
Marisa: "No wonder they call it the king of miso. Hey! (Laughs)"
Kime-maru: "Soya beans themselves have antioxidant properties, but we know that this becomes even more powerful when made into miso, so I can proudly recommend drinking miso soup every day..."
Reimu: "I see...but didn't you say at the beginning that there are some cautions with miso? I want you to tell me that too!
Kime-maru: "Yes, I understand. Then I'll tell you the last point to note about miso."
Marisa: "There are so many good points, but are there really any bad points?"
Kime-maru: "In non-Japanese miso, the fermented soy paste, which is a mould toxin called aflatoxin, is not removed during the fermentation process."
Reimu: "Mould toxin?"
Kime-maru: "Yes, this mould toxin contaminates the raw materials in the fields and refrigerators even before they are turned into miso. It is a carcinogenic ingredient, so we need to be careful."
Marisa: "It's scary that it has the potential to be carcinogenic."
Kime-maru: "Next, miso is fermented food, and lactic acid bacteria and good bacteria are useful for people, but there is a possibility that it is contaminated with mycotoxin, which is harmful to people."
Reimu: "Is there bad bacteria on it?"
Kime-maru: "In addition, there are things that cause allergies called histamine, and toxins in bacteria that cause vomiting and vomiting."
Kime-maru: "In addition, things that cause allergies called histamine and things that cause vomiting and diarrhoea due to bacterial toxins have been found in fermented foods."
Marisa: "Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?"
Kime-maru "This is just an example, but if you have to choose, I think it's best to choose miso made in Japan."
Reimu "I see, so if it's made in Japan, you can drink miso soup with peace of mind."
Marisa "I was a little worried about the second half, but I'm glad to know about the benefits of miso beyond my imagination..."
