CEHLA and Hiromi's fermented plant enzymes contain oligosaccharides that promote good bacteria growth which can benefit pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. However, as no studies have been conducted on pregnant and nursing moms, it is still best to consult your doctor before taking enzyme supplements. 

While these naturally fermented plant enzymes are generally safe for children to consume, we usually advise giving to a child only when necessary. For instance, children with obesity issues or unhealthy diet that is high in fat and meat protein can benefit from these enzyme supplements. However, it is best to consult a doctor first before giving it to your child. When feeding a child, simply dilute 5ml of the enzyme in 25-50ml of water and mix well before serving.

Yes, you can consume the enzyme supplements daily to promote immunity, optimal gut health and overall wellness. However, if you experience any ill effects, please stop drinking 

It is possible to drink more as long as you are on a balanced diet daily. For enzyme fasting, you may drink up to 150ml a day.

You can consume the enzyme supplement before or after a meal. However, if you want to cut down on your food intake, it is recommended to consume 30 minutes before your meal. If you tend to have digestive or heartburn issues, taking it after meals is more ideal to help with the digestion process.

CEHLA and Hiromi use yeast from a traditional sake brewery. The fermentation process helps to incorporate these useful flora and fauna essential to our gut health balance.

The fermentation period is about one year and the subsequent ageing period is about two years. In total, it takes three years before the product is ready for packaging.

The sediments are a mix of fine dietary fibre from the plants and mineral crystals, which you may observe floating in the drink. If they have settled at the bottom, please turn the bottle upside down a few times to mix it. Please avoid shaking vigorously.

Enzyme-fermented beverages are made from plants, and the natural fermentation process may cause each batch to differ slightly in colour, taste and texture. However, you can rest assured that there is no problem with the quality.

Please be assured that regular inspections are carried out, and no pesticides or radioactivity have been detected.
