Stachyose product is favored by the market mainly because of the following excellent health efficacy and characteristics:
I. Green source, and safety in use
The stachyose extracted and prepared directly from the vegetable Stachys sieboldii is more natural, compared to functional sugar products such as isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide obtained by enzyme engineering conversion of the raw materials starch and cane sugar.
In view of the raw material for extraction, production process, and good safety of final product of the stachyose, the original Ministry of Health of China issued No. 17 Announcement in November 2010 approving stachyose to be produced and operated as common food, with no restriction on population it applies to and the usage amount.
II. Efficient acting, and small amount for acting
The original Institute of Food Safety Control and Inspection of the Ministry of Health of China conducted an animal experiment on stachyose’s regulation of intestinal flora according to the Technical Standards for Functional Testing and Assessment of Health Food, and the results showed that after 1 week of continuous ingestion of 3g/day stachyose, both the intestinal bifidobacteria and lactobacilli grew by over 10 times, and the harmful enterobacteria and enterococci were effectively inhibited; the following research proved that just 0.5g stachyose was enough to proliferate intestinal probiotics such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Relevant research proved the stachyose’s efficient acting and small amount for acting.

获得健康益处 | Producing health benefits |
Due to a lack of α-D-galactosidase in the digestive tract, after being ingested by human body, stachyose will not be digested and absorbed, but will directly reach the large intestine to be used by intestinal probiotics such as bifidobacteria, and lactobacilli, to make them rapidly proliferate to form a dominant position in the digestive tract, improve intestinal microecology, and thereby produce health benefits, mainly including:
1. Improving constipation
The intake of stachyose makes the intestinal probiotics rapidly proliferate, to increase peristalsis and avoid feces from accumulating in large intestine and avoid formation of dry and hard feces after water absorption, and thereby prevent constipation.
2. Controlling diarrhea
Stachyose can significantly control diarrhea, owing to its adhesion on and protection of intestinal epithelial cells, in combination with proliferating beneficial bacteria and inhibiting harmful bacteria.
3. Enhancing immunity
The mannose produced after the stachyose is catabolized by intestinal flora is an important immunoregulatory factor that can be directly used to synthesize glycoprotein and participate in immunoregulation. In addition, the intestinal beneficial bacteria that proliferate as promoted by stachyose can promote immune system development, maintain normal immune function, and be synergetic and antagonistic against invasion of pathogens.
