KOSO is Japan's best-kept health cleansing secret. KOSO contains many different fruits, vegetables, and plant-based ingredients. It contains probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics such as acetic acid.

Benefit and Evidence
Koso is a nutritious supplement that has been used for more than 100 years now, and we are some uncovering part of its health benefits today. There are some study the following.
"The current intervention clearly demonstrates that FPE could significantly lower body weight, fat, BMI, TC, LDL-c, TBARS, and harmful bacteria such as E. coli and C. perfringens as well as substantially improved the levels of TEAC, total phenolic content, and beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus spp. Moreover, FPE prolonged the LDL-oxidation lag time owing to its antioxidant capacity and thus exhibited a cardioprotective effect. Hence, we hypothesize that FPE might positively regulate the human intestinal flora and thus maintain the balance between the beneficial and harmful bacteria and thereby favor various health benefits of acting as good probiotics. In the future, the mechanism behind the FPE regulatory effect can be examined in various metabolic syndrome and abnormal gastrointestinal diseases."
"The enzyme-food contained abundant functional ingredients, i.e., polyphenols, dietary fiber, and indigestible dextrin. The enzyme-food indicated high antioxidant activity and suppression of AGE (glycated protein) formation, which is thought to be responsible for the pathogenesis of various lifestyle diseases. The feeding of enzyme-food in rats suggested that the possibilities of body fat reduction, improvement of bowel movements, and improvement of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. So the products commonly called ‘enzyme-foods’ may be beneficial for health maintenance because of functional ingredients, not food-enzyme, contained in them."
