Black and mugwort beauty enzyme FAQ
[About the product]
Q: What are the main ingredients ?
A: Wildflowers, mainly mugwort. Unlike vegetables and fruits that are artificially bred, wildflowers inherit their natural power. Wildflowers have strong vitality and contain many medicinal ingredients that boost immunity, including vitamins and minerals. By preparing large quantities of these wild herbs and fermenting them, we make it easier for the body to absorb many useful ingredients.
By adding concentrated black material extract, which is said to be good for body building for pregnancy and anti-aging care, we have created an enzyme that is even more beneficial to women's bodies.
Q: How many kinds of raw materials are there ?
A: It is made with 85 types of wildflowers, vegetables, fruits, and seaweed. Details can be found on the product page.
Q: Where is it made ?
A: The Joetsu region of Niigata Prefecture. Joetsu is an area where fermentation culture has flourished since ancient times. This is because all the conditions necessary for fermentation are present. The climate is humid throughout the year (low and humid, high and humid), making it ideal for microorganisms to carry out fermentation. When making enzymes, the raw materials and fermentation vessels are important, but the climate is also very important. ``Black and Mugwort Bikan Enzyme'' takes advantage of the characteristics of this climate and is manufactured at ``normal temperature and humidity'' without any special adjustments to temperature or humidity.
Q: What is "temperature/humidity" ?
A: It is a temperature and humidity that takes advantage of the characteristics of the climate without intentionally adjusting the temperature or humidity. Because the temperature varies by as much as 30 degrees Celsius per year, weak bacteria die or are overtaken by other bacteria. Allowing only powerful bacteria to survive leads to the production of many functional components, including enzymes.
Q: What is the advantage of the jar manufacturing method ?
A: Ceramic jars (from Yixing, China) are used for fermentation and aging. Unlike polyester or stainless steel tanks, ceramic jars use their far-infrared rays and breathability to stimulate the movement of fermenting bacteria, creating a flavorful and rich enzyme stock solution. Additionally, the unique shape of the jar promotes natural convection of the enzyme stock solution.
Q: Why fermentation in ceramic jars ?
A: Ceramic jars use far infrared rays to increase the activity of bacteria and promote better fermentation. In addition, this synergistic effect further accelerates ripening and produces metabolic products, resulting in a mellow, full-bodied flavor. Therefore, we use ceramic jars.
The reason why we stir the rice bran bed by hand every day is because fermenting bacteria are living things and need to be aerated and allowed to breathe. Ceramic jars have countless small holes, creating a very good environment for bacteria to breathe easily.
Q: There are enzymes that are aged for 2 or 3 years, but is it okay to aged for about 1 year ?
A: We believe that one year is sufficient due to the characteristics of ceramic jars.
* Fermentation vessels vary depending on the manufacturer, such as plastic tanks, wooden barrels, and stainless steel tanks.
Q: Why is it sweet ?
A: For fermentation, we use fermentation bacteria (yeast, koji, lactic acid bacteria) and add sugars (molasses, brown sugar, oligosaccharides) that have mineral content as food for the bacteria to work better. Masu.
*We do not use any refined white sugar or food additive sweeteners.
In addition, sugar alcohols such as mannitol are naturally produced during the fermentation process, which increases the sweetness.
Q: When should I take it ?
A: Basically, you can take it at any time, but it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach as absorption will be better. In other words, if you are aiming for health, it is recommended to use it in the morning, and if you are aiming for beauty, it is recommended to use it at night.
