Excellent anti-glycation effect! This is a food ingredient containing "hydroxy isoflavones" with anti-aging, anti-glycation, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects.

"UNIFINE" is a fermented isoflavone anti-glycation ingredient that converts soybean-derived isoflavones into hydroxyl isoflavones through fermentation. Hydroxyl isoflavones not only have significantly greater antioxidant power than pre-fermentation isoflavones but also possess the ability to suppress the generation of glycation reaction products and promote their decomposition. This ingredient is suitable for product planning aimed at anti-aging, glycation countermeasures, and anti-metabolic syndrome measures. 【Features】 - A fermented ingredient made from soybean extract containing isoflavones, fermented with koji mold. - An anti-glycation ingredient with hydroxyl isoflavones as the active component (Patent No. 5318339). - Suppression and decomposition of glycation reaction products (CML, 3DG, pentosidine). - Anti-diabetic (improvement of glucose tolerance) and anti-obesity (suppression of fat accumulation) effects (patent pending). - Anti-glycation effects in the body through oral intake, suppression of carbonyl protein generation, and skin beautifying effects. - Effectiveness in suppressing glycation-related hair loss (patent pending). - Antioxidant capacity (DPPH, OH radical scavenging ability). - Cosmetic ingredient "UNIFINE-CO" is also available.
