EDIBLE SILK
EDIBLE SILK is a silk peptide obtained by biotechnological (enzymatic) hydrolysis of the proteins of silk fibers. Amino acids of EDIBLE SILK are suitable for supplementing the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF).

Hydrolyzed silk peptide「EDIBLE SILK」
EDIBLE SILK is a functional peptide obtained by enzymatic extraction of fibroin from silk fibers.
The molecular weight of EDIBLE SILK ranges from 300 to 5,000, with an average molecular weight of 1,000. The silk peptides with a molecular weight of about 1,000 have particularly strong physiological activity.

Silk is called the “Queen of Textiles” and is regarded as a precious material all over the world because of its strength, luster, luxuriousness, and touch. Silk is a fiber produced by silkworms, and its main component is protein. Silk protein is responsible for silk's physical properties such as strength and elasticity, and its moisture retention. For this reason, it is widely used in cosmetics and health foods.

NMF supply
Alanine is an amino acid that produces sugar in the liver. Sugar is consumed by endurance exercise as energy. Supplementation of alanine can provide energy for long periods while inhibiting loss of muscle.
When alanine is ingested during drinking, it promotes the degradation of alcohol.
Glycine is an amino acid that improves sleep quality, improves awakening the next day, and reduces daytime sleepiness. This leads to improved work efficiency and reduced fatigue.
Glycine is one of the components of glutathione, an antioxidant produced by the body. One third of the amino acids of collagen are glycine.
The amino acids in EDIBLE SILK are ideal for supplying the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) of the skin.
Amino acid composition and function of EDIBLE SILK
Research results in the beauty field
Plasticity is the property of skin that is deformed by external forces and does not return to its original state. Skin with less plasticity is firmer. EDIBLE SILK significantly reduced skin plasticity.
EDIBLE SILK has a firming effect on the skin and keeps it looking young.
Skin firmness improvement
The subject pressed the same circular stamp twice on the same area of the cheek while looking straight ahead (forward) and straight down (downward). The difference between the circles of the stamps is the amount of skin sagging due to the effect of gravity. After ingestion of EDIBLE SILK, the difference between the circles of the stamps became smaller.
EDIBLE SILK has the effect of improving sagging.
Improvement of sagging
Reference: FoodStyle21, Aug.（2010）
Ten healthy men and women aged 30-50 years (mean age 46.2 years) were orally administered 200 mg/day of EDIBLE SILK for 4 weeks (September-October 2016).
After the experiment, facial plasticity and sagging were measured.
→The lower the value, the better the firmness.
→The lower the value, the less sagging.
Research results in the immune field
Immunity enhancement
Reference: The 51st Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Pharmacognosy
Peyer's patch cells of mice fed EDIBLE SILK 10 mg/kg/day for 7 days were stimulated with concanavalin A and secreted immune cytokines were measured. The secretory enhancement of IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-γ was observed.
It was concluded that EDIBLE SILK has an immune enhancing effect
