MIKI Prune Extract Stick

The prune has been recognized as health food from many centuries ago. Old Greek called a prune “Food of Gods”. Mr. Kadota Toshikazu, the founder of Japan MIKI Corporation (Japan MIKI), paid attention to many nutrients of a prune and after making repeated mistakes he succeeded to extract the nutrients of a prune by using water (Water Extracting Way) without destroying nutrients. Therefore MIKI Prune Extract (MIKI Prune) was born and Japan MIKI began the sale of MIKI Prune in 1972. Now MIKI Prune is very popular in Japan and Taiwan.

US MIKI Corporation, a subsidiary of Japan MIKI, has a big prune farm in California, USA and send their dry prunes which are raw materials of MIKI Prune to Japan MIKI. Japan MIKI manufactures MIKI Prune by Water Extracting Way in its Japanese factories.

MIKI Prune is health supplement and its main nutrients are carotene, vitamin B1, B2, B6, Niacin, Pectin, Pantothenic acid, polyphenol, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, boron, and iron. In conclusion, MIKI Prune consists of three important nutrients - vitamin, protein (amino acid), and mineral which are necessary items to make human muscles and blood.

February in 2013, JAXA (Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency) appointed stick type MIKI Prune (MIKI Pure Extract Stick) as food for astronauts (space food) to promote their health. The reason why Japan MIKI made new stick type for space food is that in the space ship, astronauts have to take fixed quantity at regular interval easily and sanitarily.

The following cases show that nutrients in MIKI Prune work well as space food.

1. In the space, astronauts are exposed to strong radiation (One day stay in the space is equivalent to one half year stay on the Earth). So the human body makes much active oxygen to decrease the influence of radiation. On the other hand, active oxygen brings astronauts rapid ageing. Polyphenol can stop rapid ageing with strong antioxidant power. MIKI Prune slows down human ageing.

2. Astronauts are free from gravitation. In zero gravity human bones stop their growing and lose its calcium. In consequence, a human has a tendency to be osteoporosis. Boron works strongly to stop an outflow of calcium to protect a human against osteoporosis. MIKI Prune is good for osteoporosis of menopaused women.

3. Also in zero gravity, a human feels no desire to go to the bathroom. So astronauts sometimes become constipated. Pectin, colloidal polysaccharide of cell membranes of fruit, acts with dietary fiber for bowel movements. MIKI Prune is good for constipation.

4. MIKI Prune has much potassium and less sodium and potassium keeps osmotic pressure of the cell membranes good conditions for activities of cells. MIKI Prune keeps human cells active.
