[Objective]

Green nails, a type of bacterial infection, are one of the causes of nail problems such as green discoloration. This green color is caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of nails. We examined the antimicrobial activity of OM-X extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

[Methods]

Pseudomonas aeruginosa was propagated on a petri dish. A paper disk soaked with OM-X was placed in the center of the petri dish and cultured. If an antibacterial reaction occurs, an inhibition ring against bacteria is formed. We examined the antibacterial activity by measuring the size of the inhibition ring.

[Results]

OM-X formed a large inhibition ring against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This means that it showed an antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

[Objective]

We conducted a collaborative clinical study in order to demonstrate that there is no adverse effect on the human body even when people ingest a dosage five times greater (15 capsules) of OM-X capsules than the ordinary dosage (3 capsules) on a daily basis.

[Methods]

Ten test subjects ingested 15 OM-X capsules daily for one month. Their blood samples were collected before and after the ingestion period in order to investigate blood biochemistry data.

[Results]

No adverse effects were observed in blood biochemistry data even in cases of an intake of 15 capsules. Based on this result, we confirmed that there was no adverse effect on the human body even when people ingest more OM-X capsules than the recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day.

[Objective]

Since dozens of plant ingredients are fermented by lactic acid bacteria, it can be predicted that numerous fermented metabolic components (postbiotics) will be present in the fermented extract of OM-X. We performed metabolome analysis in order to comprehensively analyze these metabolic components.

[Methods]

Metabolome analysis allows to comprehensively analyze water-soluble and fat-soluble low-molecular-weight components through a combination of different methods. Using this method, we detected a variety of nutritional components present in OM-X.

[Results]

Exceeding our expectations, more than 400 metabolic components were found in OM-X. Amino acids, peptides, organic acids, neurotransmitters, phytosterols, and omega-3 were also included. These components are produced through prolonged fermentation and maturation. They are expected to be effective when absorbed by the body.
