LPS: The Immune-Vitamin for Healthcare

Humans naturally possess the "potential to maintain health“ which is the same as immunity.

However, due to daily stress and aging, this "potential to maintain health" weakens, making it harder to recover from minor colds or wounds, and making chronic inflammation and allergies more likely.

LPS works by enhancing the inherent potential and keeps you healthy.

This is the role of the immune-boosting vitamin LPS.

LPS is a Bacterial Component

We benefit in many ways from the activities of bacteria, such as gut bacteria and skin microbiota.

LPS is one of the components found in these bacteria.

LPS helps you to have a strong immune system and be a picture of health by stimulating the cells in our gut and skin.

LPS is a common part of a diet

Bacterial LPS is present on vegetables, grains, seaweed, and mushrooms, and we consume it through our diet.

Even though we may not realize it, LPS has been a part of our diet for a long time.

LPS Helps Build a Body Less Prone to Allergies

Why do children in urban areas have more allergies than those in rural areas?

Dr. Erika von Mutius and her team at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have revealed that rural environments, where people work the soil, grow crops, and care for livestock, have higher levels of LPS in the environment, which helps reduce the likelihood of developing allergies.

Macrophi Provides Safe and Reliable LPS

In today’s world, where sterilization and disinfection are common, the amount of LPS we intake from the environment has decreased.

Macrophi Inc.’s LPS is the only LPS in the world* made for healthcare, derived from safe Pantoea bacteria that symbiotically live with edible plants, designed to supplement the LPS that is often lacking in our modern diet.

500μg of LPS per Day as a Guideline for Maintaining Health

Based on various trials, Macrophi Inc. recommends an intake of 500μg of LPS per day for adults.

LPS also provides beneficial stimulation to skin cells. When applied to the skin, it is effective in improving sensitive skin and skin irritation if 1 to 2μg of LPS is included in each gram of creams, lotions, or other skincare products.

The Beginning: Research on "Food and Immunity"

In 1988, research began in a university laboratory to explore components in food that activate the immune system. It was discovered that cereals, which we commonly consume, have this effect.

Further investigation revealed that LPS derived from Pantoea bacteria, which adhere to cereals, is the effective component for immune activation.

This marked the beginning of research into healthcare LPS.

The Birth of LPS for Healthcare

After undergoing numerous tests for safety and efficacy, in 2006, the researchers involved in the study established Macrophi Inc. to provide LPS for healthcare.

It took 18 years from the start of research to the launch of the product. Since its release, another 18 years (as of 2024) have passed, during which we have built a solid track record, delivering safe LPS to people around the world.
