Plasmalogen Q&A

Plasmalogen is a type of phospholipid found in cell membranes. It is also present in the human body and is thought to have the function of protecting cells from active oxygen species through its antioxidant effect and storing useful fatty acids such as DHA in the body. It is abundant in areas where cells use large amounts of oxygen, such as the heart and skeletal muscles, and is characterized by abundance especially in the brain.

Chicken breast plasmalogen is the first plasmalogen in the world to be successfully produced as a food ingredient. Since its safety has been fully confirmed, it can be used as a food ingredient reliably. In addition, there is abundant evidence of its functionality, and it can be used for Foods with Function Claims.

① According to the results of human clinical trials conducted by our company, 1 mg of plasmalogen is effective for "verbal memory" and 0.5 mg of plasmalogen is effective for " psychomotor speed ", so we have set 1 mg and 0.5 mg as the recommended intake.
② In the clinical test conducted by our company, the effect was not enhanced even if a large amount was consumed.
③ Our material is food, so there is no problem even if a large amount is consumed. In a human clinical study, no adverse events were observed in those who consumed 800 mg of chicken breast plasmalogen (essence form / assumed plasmalogen amount 100 mg) daily for 3 months.

No adverse events were observed in third-party safety studies (single-dose study, 90-day repeated-dose study, Ames study, and chromosomal aberration study). Also, in human clinical trials, no adverse events were observed in those who took 800 mg of chicken breast plasmalogen (essence form / about 100 times the recommended 1 mg of plasmalogen) daily for 3 months.

We currently do not sell any products containing chicken breast plasmalogen material.

For applications, we recommend using the essence form in soft capsule supplements. The powder type is recommended for use in hard capsules, granulated powder, and tablet supplements.

Due to its poor stability in the acidic range, we recommend designing products in the neutral range. In addition, the stability of plasmalogen may be reduced depending on the type of raw materials and other functional ingredients combined.

The essence form has a distinctive odor like chicken extract or chicken fat. The powder form has a less distinctive odor than the essence form due to its processing characteristics. Basically, we recommend using it as a supplement ingredient.

Chicken breast plasmalogen material can be blended into food products, but depending on the properties of the food, the stability may be significantly reduced or the content may be difficult to analyze.

Since it is a food material and not a drug, there is no immediate effect. We recommend continuous intake.
