Q What is the origin of the company name Nabio?
Q Are Nabio products made from natto?
It is the same as the food natto in that it is made by fermenting soybeans with natto bacteria, but it is produced using a special technique that maximizes the number of natto bacteria.
Q How much natto bacteria does Nabio contain?
One gram contains tens of billions of natto bacteria, more than the world's population.
Q Does natto bacteria die from heat or acid?
The natto bacteria contained in Nabio products are dormant natto bacteria (called spore-forming bacteria). Dormant natto bacteria cannot be killed by heat of 100°C or strong acidity of pH 1.
Q Where in the body do natto bacteria awaken?
The dormant natto bacteria will awaken when the following five conditions are met: 1) a temperature of around 37°C, 2) moisture, 3) a source of nutrients, 4) oxygen, and 5) a pH level close to neutral. The human duodenum is an environment where all five conditions are met.
Q What does the awakened natto bacteria do?
Once natto bacteria awaken from their spore state, they
become nutrient cells and begin to multiply. As they
multiply, enzymes, vitamins, and other substances are
produced.
Natto bacteria turn the intestines into an intestinal
factory that produces enzymes, vitamins, and other
substances.
Q What are the benefits of the natto bacteria intestinal factory?
Orally ingested enzymes and vitamins are absorbed within a few hours, but natto bacteria in the intestines continue to produce enzymes and natto bacteria for a long period of time, so they are absorbed continuously.
Q Do Nabio products contain nattokinase?
However, most of it is inactivated by stomach acid.
Q Do Nabio products contain vitamin K?
However, the intestinal bacteria in natto produce even more vitamin K than the vitamin K contained in the product.
Q Can anyone take Nabio products?
This product is fermented using soybeans. It should not be
consumed by people with soy allergies.
It should not be consumed by people taking the
anticoagulant drug warfarin. The large amount of vitamin K
produced by natto bacteria weakens the effectiveness of
warfarin.
