.What is ETAS®
Raw Material
The lower part of asparagus stems, that are cut off to unify length for shipping and normally discarded, are utilized as the raw material of ETAS®.
Active Components
Several active components are identified in ETAS® for its HSP70 inducing effect, and among all, a component group “Asparagus-derived proline-containing 3-alkyldiketopiperazines (Asparaprolines)” is set as the standard.
