<Why did XAXA add lactic acid bacteria to its snacks? >
The trigger was my beloved dog, Mugi. Mugi has allergies,
・Itchy skin
- Redness
・Hair removal
・Recurrent diarrhea
I was troubled by this for a long time.
After reviewing my diet and thoroughly researching ingredients, I continued to experiment and experiment, and finally realized the importance of the 'gut environment.'
And by continuing to take lactic acid bacteria, Mugi's health and skin condition gradually began to change.
"I want to support my daily health while enjoying snacks."
With that in mind, leveraging the experience gained from developing XAXA's frozen premium foods, we have investigated and compared over 100 types of lactic acid bacteria ingredients in Japan. From these, we have uniquely blended 25 types of lactic acid bacteria with over 100 billion strains of lactic acid bacteria.
Furthermore, we pay close attention to the flavor and balance of the formula so that beloved dogs and cats will happily eat it on its own, even with lactic acid bacteria alone.
Many customers come seeking snacks containing lactic acid bacteria at the event as well.
Due to the strong response, we decided to include lactic acid bacteria in all our products.
< Commitment to Lactic Acid Bacteria>
The strains blended this time include:
◯ Bifidobacteria derived from babies
◯ Soil-derived lactic acid bacteria
(A fungus researched focusing on dogs' licking and digging behaviors)
◯ Lactic acid bacteria derived from fermented foods
and other diverse lactic acid bacteria.
Lactic acid bacteria function differently depending on the type,
・Maintaining gut health
・Supports the balance of beneficial bacteria
・Daily energy
・Maintaining skin health
・Maintaining immune function
and other related relationships.
What we valued most was not just the "number of bacteria," but the "diversity of bacteria."
By focusing on quantity and diversity, we aimed to accommodate each dog's unique gut environment and formulate lactic acid bacteria that reach many beloved dogs and cats.
With the hope that "snacks are not just luxury items, but can also support health," we have formulated lactic acid bacteria.
