What Is Prebiotic Stachyose And Its Role

Medical research shows that nutrient intake is not equal to nutrient absorption, and 80%-90% of the digestion and absorption process is completed in the intestines. The nutrients needed by the human body are absorbed by the intestines and then given to the blood through the capillaries on the intestinal wall, thereby being transported throughout the body. If the human body is compared to a city, the blood can be regarded as the transportation system, and the intestines are the largest "nutrient supply center." If the center is under-supplied or the food provided is of poor quality, it will affect the functioning of the entire city. Therefore, if you want comprehensive nutrient absorption, improving the intestinal environment is key.

Stachyose, as a naturally occurring prebiotic, plays a vital role in human health. Stachyose is a functional oligosaccharide naturally contained in plants. It is a water-soluble dietary fiber and the best "food" for beneficial bacteria. It is known as a super prebiotic. It can proliferate beneficial bacteria at a uniform speed of over 80 times and a maximum speed of 103 times. It is a functional oligosaccharide that can significantly promote the rapid proliferation of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.

Safe uses of stachyose internationally

Stachyose is China's national key scientific and technological achievement and was selected as the main functional drink for the astronauts on Shenzhou 5 and 6. It is used to adjust the intestinal disorders of astronauts under space conditions and maintain the balance of gastrointestinal microecology.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized stachyose as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), and NASA has selected stachyose as a basic food that must be eaten every day.

In Germany, the "National Health Manual" issued by the government lists the health benefits of stachyose and encourages people to consume it.

In Mexico, the government stipulates that athletes’ food provided at sports events must contain 20%-40% stachyose.

In Japan, the Ministry of Health and Welfare approved foods containing stachyose as "specified health foods" in 1993.

The World Health Organization (WHO) calls stachyose the best health product of the 21st century.

The charms of stachyose

The efficacy of stachyose is that Stachyose will not be destroyed by gastric acid and can directly reach various parts of the intestinal tract. It has a significant proliferation effect on beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the human intestine, which can maintain the balance of intestinal flora and quickly improve intestinal health. Stachyose can help break down protein in food, especially casein, and increase protein absorption. At the same time, it inhibits harmful bacteria from decomposing and utilizing protein, thereby improving the overall effective utilization of protein. After stachyose is fermented and decomposed by Bifidobacterium, short-chain fatty acids will be produced, which will lower the pH value of the intestine, increase the dissolution of minerals, and promote better absorption of minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. Stachyose can also promote the beneficial bacteria in the intestines to synthesize vitamins such as vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, K and folic acid. Stachyose can also improve the intestinal environment, stimulate intestinal epithelial absorption, promote cell proliferation, increase the absorption area, and improve the overall absorption status of food. At the same time, it shortens the retention of food residues in the intestines, has an anti-absorption effect on lead entering the intestines, and can reduce the chance of lead entering the blood and endangering health.

Stachyose can solve the root causes of constipation and diarrhea and fundamentally restore regular defecation. Stachyose can regulate constipation and diarrhea in both directions, regulate the balance of flora in a targeted manner, reorganize a benign microecological environment, and eliminate constipation and diarrhea! And there will never be abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., fundamentally achieving the purpose of complete recovery.
