    Functions

    A portion of the foods we ingest is decomposed and converted by intestinal bacteria into toxic chemicals such as ammonia, mercaptans, indole, hydrogen sulfide. These by products are not only offensive but also harmful substances with high toxicity. It is known that these products cause renal failure, liver disease, hypertension, cancer and other diseases. CHAMPEX® is able to suppress these products. In addition, CHAMPEX® has various functions that help our bodies become healthier, suppress putrid chemicals and control mouth and body odors.

    • Controlling mouth, body and fecal odors through suppressive effects on intestinal putrid products
    • Prevention of diseases through suppressive effect on toxic chemicals in the blood
    • Prevention of diseases through reinforcement of the immune system
    • Prevention of the aging process

    Chemical Properties

    Description Brown powder with distinctive odor and acidic taste.
    Deterioration Remains stable for 3 years when stored at ambient temperatures in a tightly sealed container. As CHAMPEX® is a natural product, precipitates may occur, but there will be no change in the deodorizing effect whether filtrated or not.
    Light stability Product color may darken slightly after exposure to light, but the change is not significant.
    Solubility 1)Water Solubility is accelerated when the water temperature is high. CHAMPEX® is easily soluble when added to a solvent. CHAMPEX® dissolves easily with intense stirring.
    2)To increase CHAMPEX® solubility, dissolve it in a solvent at raised temperatures. Add CHAMPEX® to the solvent little by little. Mix CHAMPEX® with other ingredients (sugar, amino acid, etc) prior to dissolving it in a solvent.
    3)CHAMPEX® is not soluble in oil. The standard proportion for adding CHAMPEX® to oil in a soft capsule is about 30%.
    Mixing compatibility CHAMPEX® is compatible with natural fruit juice, such as apple, prune, peach and orange juice, and carbonated water. It is also compatible with all vitamins. CHAMPEX® can be mixed with virtually any foodstuff.
    Thermal resistance No change in deodorizing properties in 5-minute boiling tests at 180°C.
    Acid resistance No change in deodorizing properties in strong acid conditions.
    Alkali resistance No change in deodorizing properties at up to pH 10.
    Product category CHAMPEX® is not a food additive. It is a food.
    Batch stability Assay results with 100 batches indicate no discrepancy between specifications and actual measured values.
