Fermentis – new generation fermented whey protein and its impact on health
Fermentisは、ホエイプロテインとプレバイオティクス（GOS）を乳酸菌で発酵させたオランダ発の新素材です。発酵由来の生理活性成分が腸内環境を整え、臨床試験では消化器症状評価スコアの改善・ビフィズス菌増加・膨満感の軽減が確認されています。腸と筋肉の双方にアプローチする次世代プロテイン素材の可能性をご紹介します。既存のプロテイン製品の差別化に腐心するマーケティングおよび開発担当者へのヒントを提案。
Fermentis is a next-generation ingredient combining whey protein and prebiotic GOS, fermented with lactic acid bacteria. The fermentation process generates bioactive compounds that support gut microbiome health and digestive comfort. Clinical studies — including a 3-week trial with 50 trained athletes — confirmed significant improvements in digestive symptoms (GSRS scores), increased Bifidobacteria levels, and reduced bloating. Targeting both gut health and muscle performance, Fermentis represents a new frontier in protein-based functional ingredient development.
