Narine Japan
An ideal health supplement made by blending Narine Probiotic with processed rice bran known as Komenuka. The domestic, natural Komenuka, is said to be a treasure trove of nutrients and is combined with Narine using patented “Ambient Temperature Enzyme (A・T・E) technology”.
The A・T・E technology was developed and patented by Dr. Satoru Takahashi, known as the “Hermit of Enzyme”, who serves as Chief Technology Officer at Takahashi Enzyme Research Laboratory Co. Ltd. （http://www.tkouken.co.jp）.
Narine probiotic, king of probiotics, is blended with Japan’s nutrient-rich Komenuka (rice bran), processed by a patented enzyme technology
Komenuka, or rice bran, is the hard-outer layers of rice grain. It is a byproduct of the rice milling process converting brown rice to white rice.
In Japan, Komenuka has traditionally been a very familiar dietary food. Even today, it is very popular in our daily life.
Komenuka is extremely rich in nutrients and contains more than 95% of nutrients of unpolished rice. The table indicates that among many nutrients, Komenuka contains 10 to 40 times greater amounts of nutrition than polished rice.
In addition, Komenuka also contains various nutrients such as γ-oryzanol, minerals, vitamins, gaba (amino butyric acid), moreover, and dietary fiber etc. It is well known that γ-oryzanol or inositol is good for metabolism enhancement and mind stability, while gaba, vitamins and vitamin-E are effective for blood circulation of the brain and reducing blood pressure.

“Komenuka (rice bran)” is a treasure trove of nutrients. By comparison, “Komenuka” contains nutrients 3 to 8 times that of brown rice and 4 to 120 times that of polished rice. Countless health benefits are widely recognized such as cancer prevention, bowel movement improvement and bowel regulation, dementia prevention, arteriosclerosis prevention, diabetes prevention, brain-function improvement, hypertension improvement, skin beautification, anemia prevention, positive diet effect, thinning hair prevention and the list goes on. By adding probiotic, a beneficial bacterium for our body, to rice bran that is considered a natural supplement, we are combining the positive effects probiotic effectively improving our intestinal environment in order to prevent the growth and colonization of bad bacteria. Recent studies have shown that probiotic improves the immune function (system) and reduces triglyceride and blood cholesterol levels. Thanks to its numerous benefits, “Narine” has long been treated as a “national treasure” in the Republic of Armenia. It is reported that “Narine” possesses higher acid-resistance properties than most other probiotics allowing it to reach the intestines alive. Moreover, recent research reports that its antibacterial activity is also remarkable.
These days, due to our busy and stressful lives, people tend to have less than ideal eating habits and lifestyles. Let’s improve your lifestyle by developing a well-balanced diet, and take “Narine+Komenuka” packed with nutrients to obtain a bright “healthy longevity”.These days, due to our busy and stressful lives, people tend to have less than ideal eating habits and lifestyles.

Komenuka is widely known as a super nutritional food. But due to its dry taste and poor digestion, it has long been avoided to eat on a daily basis. This difficulty was brilliantly solved by employing a cutting-edge enzyme technology, invented by Dr. Satoru Takahashi, who has been recognized as the “hermit of enzyme”. This enzyme technology is a technology to make full use of useful ingredients at room temperature by using enzymes.
In particular, Ambient Temperature Enzyme (A・T・E) technology under Takahashi Enzyme Research Laboratory Co. Ltd. （http://www.tkouken.co.jp）was adopted to dissolve Komenuka. This A.T.E. technology is a technology to make full use of ingredients at room temperature by using enzymes. The results of this technology are a delicious, natural taste as well as easy digestion and absorption.
In addition, this technology proves to enhance dietary effects, particularly IP6 and “phytic acid”, which are effective for anti-cancer and anti-tumor effects as well as boosting the immune system, treating anemia, and preventing heart disease and kidney stones.
In 2015, Dr. Takahashi was honored with the “Higashi-Kuninomiya International Culture Award” for his longtime enzyme research.
