Thank you for visiting Mommy Lynn Blog. My name is Lynn and I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Above is a picture of me with a box of Belixz Shiruto from BE International.
My husband I have been building our network marketing business using the BE International business opportunity since March 2018.
We did quite well in the business and now it is our full time career.
The BE International business opportunity has a wide range of health and wellness product.
One of the top selling functional food product is the Belixz Shiruto which is fully made and imported from Japan.
If you are reading this article, probably you are asking, “Can Shiruto help to relieve eczema?”
In this article, I will try to answer the above question.
However, as a disclaimer, I am not a medical doctor.
The information I am sharing on this article is based on my online research and reading from reputable and trusted web pages.
I will leave hyperlinks to the web pages of my information source and also for your reference.
If you are not sure, please do your own further reading and research.
This article is for educational purposes only.
If you have health issues caused by serious illnesses, I would strongly advise you see a medical doctor.
Shiruto info
Firstly, what is Belixz Shiruto?
Shiruto means “shield” in Japanese.
It is a type of functional food for the health and wellness of our body.
Shiruto is not a medicine, therefore if you have health issues caused by serious illnesses, please seek the advice from a medical doctor.
Shiruto is a product fully made and imported from Japan.
The brand Belixz Shiruto is owned exclusively by BE International.
BE International is a licensed direct selling company based in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
BE International has regional office and distribution channel in Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
Belixz Shiruto was officially launched in Malaysia in January 2019.
Since the product launching, Shiruto has been well received in Malaysia.
What are the function and benefits of Shiruto?
Before I explain what Shiruto can do, I need to introduce you to a type of immune system cell in our body call Macrophages.
What are macrophages?
According to the National Library of Medicine:
“Macrophages are effector cells of the innate immune system that phagocytose bacteria and secrete both pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial mediators.
In addition, macrophages play an important role in eliminating diseased and damaged cells through their programmed cell death.”
Macrophages are important immune cells in our body which can do multiple function.
According to an article called “Exploring the full spectrum of macrophage activation” published on the Nature Reviews Immunology journal:
“In this Review we suggest a new grouping of macrophage populations based on three different homeostatic activities — host defence, wound healing and immune regulation.”
I got the following information from the Belixz Shiruto product catalog provided by BE International.
According to the product catalog, macrophage play different roles in the immune system such as:
1) Protect the body
2) Regulating immune system
3) Eliminate aged and abnormal cells
4) Repair cells
If you would like to get a copy of the Belixz Shiruto product catalog, please message me on my WhatsApp and I will share with you the PDF file.
Macrophages
Although macrophages are important for our immune system, sometime the cell can become in-active.
There are many reason why macrophages become in-active.
According to the Belixz Shiruto product catalog, some of the reason why macrophages become in-active are:
- Aging
- Environment pollution
- High temperature
- Low temperature
- Noise
- Lifestyle
In-active macrophages will cause immune disorder in our body.
How do we ensure macrophage function normally for 24 hours?
This is where the Belixz Shiruto function comes into the picture.
Shiruto contains a key ingredient call IP-PA1.
It stands for Immunopotentiator from Pantoea agglomerans 1.
What is IP-PA1?
Putting it in simple term, IP-PA1 is a wheat husk extract collected from a proprietary fermentation process in Japan.
What IP-PA1 does is it binds to the macrophages surface receptor call TLR4 to activate macrophages.
Back in 2011, three scientists discovered the key principles of immune system activation and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2011 was divided, one half jointly to Bruce A. Beutler and Jules A. Hoffmann “for their discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity” and the other half to Ralph M. Steinman “for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity.”

When in-active macrophages are activated by IP-PA1, it will continue to do its functions which are:
1) Protect the body
2) Regulating immune system
3) Eliminate aged and abnormal cells
4) Repair cells
Relieve eczema
Now, coming back to the question can Shiruto help to relieve eczema?
Firstly, what is eczema?
According to www.mayoclinic.org:
Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy. It’s common in children but can occur at any age.
What are the symptoms of eczema?
According to www.webmd.com:
No matter which part of your skin has eczema, the main symptoms is always itchiness.
The itchiness will start and then leads to a rash.
The itchy rash usually will appear on your face, back of the knees, wrists, hands or feet.
What is the cause of atopic dermatitis or eczema?
Referring to www.nationaleczema.org:
People with eczema tend to have an over-reactive immune system that when triggered by a substance outside or inside the body, responds by producing inflammation.
It seems eczema occurs due to a person’s over-reactive immune system when it is triggered by everyday things such as dry skin, irritants, stress and etc.
When our skin is exposed to allergen, it will trigger our immune system.
Sometimes, our immune system over-reacts which leads to eczema.
One of the function of macrophages, which is help to regulate immune system, can help to calm down our trigged immune system.
Are there any scientific research the effect of IP-PA1 on eczema?
From my research online, I did found a research paper published on the US National Library of Medicine website.
The title of the paper was Immunopotentiator from Pantoea agglomerans Prevents Atopic Dermatitis Induced by Dermatophagoides farinae Extract in NC/Nga Mouse.
The content of the paper is highly technical. If you are interested on the research, you can read the paper by clicking here.
In summary, the objective of the research is to find out whether taking IP-PA1 can prevent Atopic Dermatitis or eczema caused by dust dwelling mites. The test subjects were mice.
In conclusion, the research found that taking IP-PA1 has a preventive effect on eczema.
Testimony
In this section, I thought of sharing my eldest daughter’s personal experience using Shiruto.
My daughter has a mild case of eczema.
Her eczema can be trigged by dog hair and dust.
She will also experience eczema when the weather gets too hot and humid.
Her eczema will cause her to scratch her skin especially her elbow area.
Her constant scratching will lead to swelling on her skin.
When I know her eczema has been triggered due to her constant scratching, I will quickly give her 1 sachet of Shiruto.
After taking Shiruto, her eczema will subside after a few hours.
Can Shiruto help to relieve your eczema as well?
Unfortunately, I am unable to answer the above question.
Reason being, the results experienced by my daughter with her eczema may not be the same as yours.
What worked for others may or may not work for you because everyone will have a different response when taking Shiruto.
The only way to know the effectiveness of Shiruto on you is to try it yourself.
Thank you for reading this article and I hope it has been helpful for you.
