  • Publication number: 20230241137
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for promoting absorption of a poorly water-soluble phytochemical which can significantly improve the intake of a phytochemical into a body, especially a migration speed and/or a migration amount of the phytochemical into a blood. A polysaccharide-containing lactic acid bacterial product, which is produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus OLL1251, can significantly enhance the intake of a phytochemical into a body, especially a migration speed and/or a migration amount of the phytochemical into a blood. Thus, the composition for promoting absorption of a phytochemical according to the present invention includes, as an active ingredient, the polysaccharide-containing lactic acid bacterial product. Furthermore, the composition for promoting absorption of a phytochemical is useful as a food additive composition.
