Patent obtained in 10 countries Sesame has been cultivated and eaten as a nutrious food in all around the world from the ancient times.  However plants including sesame contains absorption inhibitors (e.g., phytic acid and oxalic acid).  It's inhibit the absorption of minerals into the body. JBSL focused attention on seed coat of sesame which contains rich minerals especially calcium.  "Sesame Minerals" is pure balanced 100% sesame mineral which we succeeded removing absorption inhibitor by our original method. Patent obtained in Japan, U.S., China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Germany, France, United Kingdom and Italia It is generally said that calcium in milk is absorbed into human body at a ratio of about 60 percent, small fish 40 percent and vegetable 20 percent.  Calcium in vegetable are absorbed at low ratio because absorption inhibiting substances (oxalic acid) contained in plants.  Especially, sesame contains a high percentage of phytic acid. It is said that this substance inhibit an absorption of minerals in the body because this substance has relatively tight units with calcium, magnesium and zinc. Many reports show that when you intake large amount of phytic acid together with minerals, it absorbs the minerals and discharge them out of body so the body loses mineral balance.  "Sesame minerals" is easy to be absorbed as it is achieved to removed all the absorption inhibitors (oxalic acid and phytic acid) by our patented method. Transformation of calcium density in blood after the intestinal administration in rat We administered 2% by weight of calcium in water to rats in intestine and measured the transformation of calcium density in blood. With this study Sesame Minerals indicate about twice as high absorption rate than that of comparison. Sesame Mineral C Extracted with brewed vinegar and substituted to citric acid.  Dried powder.
