What is Sesamin? What types of efficacy are the commercially available sesamin products?
Sesamin is a precious nutrient unique to sesame, which only accounts for 0.2~0.5% of the weight of each sesame. Due to the extremely rare content and the fact that the shell of sesame is not easily digested by the human body, it is difficult to directly ingest it through eating sesame-related foods. At present, most of them use purified and extracted health products as the main supplement method. Promoting circulatory metabolism, maintaining mature health, improving sleep quality, and reducing the physiological burden of staying up late or drinking alcohol all belong to the health care category covered by sesamin, among which liver protection and sleep aid are the most important aspects of sesamin products currently on the market. There are two types, but they have different functional requirements, and the selection principles are of course also different. The most important thing for liver-protecting sesamin products is to identify the government-approved health food liver-protecting certification and the Little Green Man label to ensure liver-protecting efficacy and safety; as for sleep-aiding sesamin products, since the Ministry of Health and Welfare has not planned sleep Health-related certification schemes, so when selecting sleep-aiding sesamin products, in addition to evaluating the quality and additive dosage of sesamin itself, you can further understand whether the product contains GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), color Amino acid, vitamin D, E, calcium, magnesium and other ingredients that are good for relaxation and sleep, to ensure that the efficacy of the product meets your own needs.
