Researchers at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (CINVESTAV) in Mexico took from mouse agave ingredients Agave (Blue Agave)FructanI took it. Then, the mice that ingested the fructan showed a higher concentration of the protein considered to act to promote osteogenesis compared with the mice that did not ingestOsteocalcinIt secreted more than 50%. Then, when actually examining the diameter of the bone 8 weeks after the start of the experiment, it seems that the diameter of the bone was increased in the mouse taking the fructan.

According to Dr. Mercedes Lopez who led the project, this effect is due to the interaction of bacteria and fructan in the intestine, and these two are thought to help link sugar molecules and nutrients to bone cells It is. "When you ingest fructan contained in Agave as a condition with intestinal flora sufficiently, bone formation is promoted even if it is osteoporosis," Dr. Lopez said. It is said that there are 200 million people with osteoporosis worldwide, and the effects discovered in this study are thought to be a clue to the treatment of new osteoporosis.

The results of research that tequila has a positive effect on the body is not the first time this time,In previous studiesIt has also been reported that blood glucose and cholesterol levels can be lowered or helped in weight loss.
