Discover the Amazing Power of sonomono Natto Bacteria!
sonomono natto makes it easy to enjoy the natural, gut-friendly probiotics of Japan’s superfood, natto.
Our mission is to empower gut health through the pure power of natural ingredients, helping people to enjoy active and healthy lives for generations to come.
After careful and thoughtful consideration, we creaated an extremely simple and unique product.
Summary of the “Exclusive Footage: The True Power of ’sonomono Natto Bacteria”
– A scientific explanation of why natto bacteria is effective, only when they reach the intestine alive –
Our specially selected soybeans undergo a meticulous fermentation process with our unique natto bacteria strain. After that, we apply freeze-dried technology to retain all nutrients and change the probiotics state into spores that survive the gastric acid and reach the intestine alive.
Soybeans Grown with Care and Love
Our products are a testament to the dedication and passion of Japanese farmers, lovingly crafted with care and a commitment to sustainability.
Fukuyutaka Soybeans from Saga Prefecture
We proudly use Fukuyutaka soybeans, meticulously cultivated by the Kohoku Town Organic Research Association in Saga Prefecture.
Known for their exceptional quality, these soybeans are plump and protein-rich, making them a perfect choice for crafting natto. The dedication of the local farmers to sustainable farming practices ensures that each soybean is grown without harmful chemicals, allowing for a natural and wholesome ingredient that you can trust.
Original Bacteria Strain
Our natto bacteria is an original, pure-cultured strain cultivated by skilled natto craftsmen, ensuring superior quality and authenticity
Carefully Selected by Natto Artisans
sonomono’s natto bacteria strain is the result of years of craftsmanship. Seasoned natto makers, who understand every aspect of natto production, have used their intuition to select and preserve these unique strains over time, guaranteeing an exceptional product.
Surviving stomach acid and reaching the intestine alive
Unlike the bacteria found in raw natto, which often cannot survive stomach acid, the bacteria in sonomono natto are protected by a tough “spore” shell. This protective layer allows them to endure the harsh conditions of stomach acid, ensuring that they reach your intestines alive and ready to deliver their full health benefits.
Compatible with lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria
The starch-degrading enzymes from natto bacteria produce oligosaccharides, which serve as nourishment for these beneficial bacteria. Additionally, natto bacteria release catalase, an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide (a compound that inhibits the growth of lactic acid bacteria and Bifidobacteria) into harmless oxygen and water. This process allows lactic acid bacteria and Bifidobacteria to thrive alongside natto bacteria, promoting a healthier gut environment.
A daily dose of natto bacteria is indispensable, just like your meals
Undigested food and gut bacteria that have finished their job are naturally excreted from the body. Natto bacteria are transient bacteria, meaning they do not stay in the body permanently. They pass through the intestines and help balance gut flora, supporting overall health.
Natto bacteria are eventually excreted at the end of their life cycle. Therefore, it is important to consume them daily to maintain a healthy gut environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive.
