This patent is based on patents registered in Japan for “constipation remedy,” “skin moisturizer,” and “immunostimulant,” which were also applied for and approved overseas.
This Japanese patent covers a β-glucan-containing composition that simultaneously addresses constipation improvement and immune enhancement through combined gastrointestinal and immune mechanisms.
The dual-action composition leverages AP β-glucan's prebiotic fiber properties (for constipation relief) and its immunostimulatory activity (for immune enhancement) in a single formulation. This reflects the integrated gut-immune health role of soluble dietary β-glucan.
Combining gastrointestinal and immune benefits in one formulation reflects AP-glucan's natural dual role as both a prebiotic fiber and immunostimulant, supporting its development as a comprehensive daily wellness ingredient.
