Drinking Refined Deep-Sea Water: Impact on Gut Ecosystem & Intestinal Health
News Release, International Society of Microbiota, France – April 6, 2022
World health trends are focusing on a balanced food and beverage intake for healthy life. Refined deep-sea water (RDSW), obtained from deep-sea water collected offshore in Muroto (Japan), is mineral-rich drinking water.
- The participants consumed 1 L of either water type daily for 12 weeks.
- A self-administered questionnaire and stool and urine samples were collected through the intervention.
- In post-intervention in the RDSW group, we found increased concentrations of five SCFAs and decreased concentrations of phenol and sIgA .
- The multiple logistic analysis demonstrated that RDSW significantly affected two biomarkers (acetic and 3-methylbutanoic acids) of the five SCFAs mentioned above.
- The concentrations of urinary isoflavones tended to increase in post-intervention in the RDSW group. Constipation was significantly alleviated in the RDSW group (94%) compared with the control group (60%).
In conclusion, drinking RDSW was found to improve the intestinal environment by increasing fecal SCFAs and urinary isoflavones, which leads to broad beneficial effects in human.
