PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
“Plasmalogen Plus” is an easily ingested supplement.
One ton of chicken meat is needed to extract as little as approximately 37 grams of plasmalogen. Each capsule of “Plasmalogen Plus” contains 0.5 milligrams of the phospholipid.
WHAT’S PLASMALOGEN?
Plasmalogen is a type of phospholipid which exists in the human body. Research in the United States has shown decreased plasmalogen blood levels in Alzheimer patients and proven that plasmalogen plays an important role in cognitive function. Although naturally generated in the body, factors such as aging, stress, and unhealthy lifestyle habits contribute to its decline. Moreover, as it possesses strong reduction tendencies, plasmalogen is said to be difficult to ingest dietarily.
THIS SPRING, AT LONG LAST, A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT ON THE MARKET DISPLAYING SIGNS OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONALITY!
“Plasmalogen Plus,” a memory-preserving supplement containing chicken-derived plasmalogen, has been accepted by the Consumer Affairs Agency for its signs of functionality in relation to cognition through clinical trials conducted for the first time in Japan. The time is ripe in the spring of 2018 for such a product to arrive on the market.
SAFE INGREDIENTS: “CHICKEN-DERIVED PLASMALOGEN”
Extracted from domestic chicken breast, “chicken-derived plasmalogen” is produced by Marudai Food, Co., Ltd., which is listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Marudai Food uses patented techniques to refine the product to a highly-purified degree. “Chicken-derived plasmalogen” contains a large amount of choline-type plasmalogens, absorbed in the body via the small intestine. Contrastly, the plasmalogen found in shellfish such as scallops and sea squirts has a high ethanolamine content, of which approximately 10 % is absorbed in the small intestine with 90% left unabsorbed. Therefore, “chicken-derived plasmalogen” is highly efficient in its bodily absorption.
SCIENTIFIC PROOF THROUGH CLINICAL TRIALS
“Plasmalogen Plus” is a product preserving the memory-skill part of cognitive function. “Chicken-derived plasmalogen” is composed as a related part of said functionality. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial was conducted using the same methods as those applied to “tokuho,(※3) or foods with special health qualities. Randomly selected subjects were allocated into two groups, with one given the test product and the other a placebo containing no “chicken-derived plasmalogen.” Neither the doctors (observers) nor the subjects were aware of the group to which those being tested belonged as to prevent the placebo effect and observer bias.
The clinical trial set forth above was conducted and verified on a scientific basis over a twelve-week period with seventy-five healthy subjects ranging in age from 40 to 77. A peer-reviewed article on the trial was published in a medical journal in December, 2016. There are no other examples of plasmalogen clinical trials on healthy subjects.
(Marudai Food, Co., Ltd. made the following announcement in September, 2017)
(※3) “Food for specified health use (tokuho)” indicate products which display their effectiveness and safety on a scientific basis through government screening and, as such, have received approval from the Consumer Affairs Agency to make their health claims.
“Health Span,” a recently-heard term, refers to the period in which one can live an unrestricted daily life. Mental attitude (brain fitness) greatly influences patience and endurance. In order to live comfortably, won’t you try a lifestyle which is conscious of not only your physical health span, but your mental health span as well?
