Oligo lactic acid®︎
What is Oligo Lactic Acid ®︎
Oligolactic acid is produced by fermentation and purification of natural sugars with lactic acid bacteria that produce only L-lactic acid, the same lactic acid found in the human body. The resulting L-lactic acid is an original raw material made by dehydration and condensation of lactic acid using our patented proprietary technology.
It is shaped like multiple lactic acid molecules connected in a row, and the linear chain of lactic acid molecules exhibits a variety of functional properties. Oligo Lactic Acid ®︎ is made from lactic acid, a biological substance found in the human body, making it a safe and very healthy food ingredient. In the past, lactic acid was sometimes called a fatigue substance, but it is now known that it is not a cause of fatigue, but rather an important source of energy for the brain and heart.
Benefits of Oligo Lactic Acid ®︎
Oligo lactic acid to meet the needs of the future: ®︎
As dietary supplements become more diversified, there is a demand for higher quality and added value in addition to the characteristics and functionality of raw materials. Oligo Lactic Acid ®︎ has been actively collecting evidence data for some time in order to meet such needs, and has accumulated evidence on function and safety through in vitro and in vivo studies as well as clinical studies. Currently, we are also working on obtaining Food with Functional Labeling. We have a lot of achievements. "Oligolactic acid [LAC]."is a high potential, domestically manufactured raw material.
