Abstract

“Food for Specified Health Uses” are food that is recognized to expect to achieve specified health aims. The objective was to study whether is recognized to display the any effects and benefits of “Food for Specified Health Uses” to young females. Five healthy females (BMI: 21.56 ±1.81 kg/㎡) were subjects. They ingested “Yakult 400” as a food to improve the condition of their bellies, “Healthya Coffee” containing chlorogenic acid as a food for people concerned about blood neutral fat and body fat, and “Barley Rice” containing β-glucan as a food for people who began to worry about blood glucose levels. As a result, “Yakult 400” was found to have constipation improvement benefits, and “Healthya Coffee” was found to have body fat reduction benefits, but barley rice β-glucan was not found to have second meal benefits. “Foods for Specified Health Uses” are optimal for boundary type people, but the subjects did not include overweight people with BMI of 25.0 kg/㎡ nor boundary types with BMI of 24.0 to 25.0 kg/㎡, which may be why benefits were not found.
