Disclosed is a novel antibacterial peptide inducer which exhibits a self-defense mechanism provided in humans and which is safe and has no side effects. A novel antibacterial peptide inducer containing lactic acid bacteria as an active ingredient is provided. The lactic acid bacterium may be taken directly as a living bacterium, or may be taken in the form of a so-called lactic acid bacterium-containing material fermented with the lactic acid bacterium. By ingesting the in vivo secretion inducer of the antibacterial peptide of the present invention, the antibacterial peptide is induced in the body, so that improvement of immunity, anti-aging, extension of healthy life expectancy, etc. due to various infection defenses are expected. it can. [Selection figure] None【課題】ヒトに備わっている自己生体防衛機構を発揮する新規で安全で副作用のない抗菌ペプチドの誘導剤を提供する。【解決手段】乳酸菌を有効成分として含む新たな抗菌ペプチドの誘導剤を提供する。当該乳酸菌は、生菌として菌体をそのまま摂取してもよく、当該乳酸菌を発酵させた、いわゆる乳酸菌の生菌入り素材の形で摂取してもよい。本発明の抗菌ペプチドの体内分泌誘導剤を摂取することにより、当該抗菌ペプチドが体内で誘導されることにより、各種の感染防御に起因する免疫力の向上やアンチエイジング、健康寿命の延長などが期待できる。【選択図】なし
