The process of cultivating Lumbricus rubells and manufacturing Lumbrokinase
|
| The cultivation of Lumbricus rubells |
| Raising Lumbricus rubells from larvae to imagoes takes four months. |
 |
Miyazaki has mild weather and fresh air, and there is plenty of safe organic feed such as distilled liquor lees. Therefore, Lumbricus rubells are cultivated primarily in Miyazaki. |
The culturing facility for Lumbricus
rubells is in Miyazaki, the southern
part of Japan.
|
 |
Inside the facility, carefully screened feed is mixed.

 |
It takes 4 month to grow up from larvae into imagoes.
|
 |
A significant number of Lumbricus rubells live in the fertile field. |
 |
There is a research facility to study the best feed and the highest quality
cultivation method considering regularly stabilized quality. |
|
|
 |
Lumbricus rubells imagoes are collected and kept in purifying sand that contains a special element to flush out impurities, mud, and other such negative particles from inside the Lumbricus rubells. Then, the imagoes are washed with purified water.
|
 |
 |
The skin and internal organs of the Lumbricus rubells are removed through
a special method.

|
 |
Purified internal organs are rapidly frozen at minus 60 degrees in a special dryer.
Then, the temperature is raised to 80 degrees and the purified internal organs are dried in a vacuum for 48 hours. Next, the organs are turned into fine powder. |
 |
 |
The fine powder of Lumbricus rubells (LR freeze-dried powder) is transported
to the main factory of Waki Pharmaceutical Company in Nara. |
LR freeze-dried powder is examined making full use of the latest examining equipment.
The sample LR freeze-dried powder for testing is kept until the expiration
date of the products.
|
 |
LR freeze-dried powder and other ingredients are mixed and added to products
for market in both capsule and tablet form. |
