Description

COMPOSITION OF A FOOD SUPPLEMENT

I. SCOPE

The composition according to the invention will find application in pharmacy as a powerful probiotic for people with improved vitality of beneficial bacteria, in case of digestive problems, to improve the environment in the digestive tract, to increase the body's immune system, to maintain the balance of the gastrointestinal microflora.

II. PRIOR ART

Bentonite clay has been used by various cultures throughout human history and people have been convinced of its therapeutic benefits. Due to its wide spread and accessibility, bentonite is gradually beginning to find its modern application as a support agent for a number of diseases.

Recent studies have shown that informed dietary intake of bentonite leads to a reduction in overall disease in humans and animals by 40-60%. However, the main benefit of bentonite is in the prevention of many pre-clinical conditions caused by the modern lifestyle.

During the hydration process, bentonite can increase its volume 14 to 16 times. This property together with its non-toxicity make it a very valuable material in construction, food industry and pharmacy.

It is known from patent document CZ194 (AZ) the use of a combination of at least one lyophilized anaerobic or facultative anaerobic strain of bacteria from the genera Lactobacterius, Lactococcus and Enterococcus, and bentonite and/or zeolite, containing in 1 g 10-11 to 1010 vital bacteria, as a probiotic preparation to increase the used properties of feed and feed mixtures for farm animals.

From the patent document CN102008016 (A), a probiotic powder and a method for its preparation are known. The probiotic powder contains a mixture of active probiotics and active zeolite in the following percentages by weight: 30 to 50 percent zeolite, 20 to 40 percent attapulgite clay, and 10 to 30 percent bentonite. Probiotic (solid) powder provides a high-quality and low-cost alternative to antibiotics for animal husbandry; the probiotic /solid/ powder with 1 to 4 million CFU of live bacteria is added in each gram of feed, in which the growth rate of chickens, pigs and fish can be improved by 2.0 to 15.6 percent, the feed conversion rate can be improved by 1.1 to 9.3 percent, and the diarrhea rate and animal mortality can be reduced obviously.

Patent document CN108936000 (A) relates to a method for obtaining a special feed for pigs at the end of pregnancy. The method includes the following stages: mixing corn flour with fish meal, soy mash and brewer's yeast; mixing xanthan gum with bentonite, monoglycerides and water, heating the mixture and stirring, adding corn starch, mixing, heating and pre-gelatinizing, lowering the temperature, adding soybean oil and xylooligosaccharide, stirring and spray drying to make the second mixture ; evenly mixing linoleic acid with calcium formate, complex vitamins, chromium methionine, complex of amino acids of iron compounds, taurine, thymol, probiotic preparation, mixing the second mixture with choline chloride to make the third mixture; evenly mixing the first with the third mixture, adding calcium hydrogen phosphate, table salt, rock powder, lysine, methionine, threonine, magnesium sulfate and composite trace elements, subsequent granulation and drying to obtain special feed for sows in late pregnancy.

TECHNICAL ESSENCE OF THE INVENTION

The aim of the invention is to create a composition of a food supplement based on bentonite and probiotics which will have a positive effect when applied to humans, provide increased vitality of probiotic bacteria, have a lasting health effect, have an increased detoxifying effect and no presence of synthetic polymers.

The goal is achieved with a food supplement composition containing bentonite from 30 to 75, probiotic from 5 to 50, magnesium oxide from 3 to 6, and agar-agar from 5 to 15. According to an embodiment of the invention, the probiotic can be in a combination of probiotic.

Probiotics are Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactococcus lactis, Acetobacter pasteurianus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum.

According to the invention, bentonite is purified by methods known in the industry.

Probiotics are living microorganisms that, taken in sufficient quantity, have a healthy effect on the human body. One of the most important characteristics of probiotic bacteria is their ability to survive their passage through the upper parts of the small intestine and reach the large intestine alive and in sufficient quantity, where they settle and multiply. There they produce vital enzymes and cellular bioproducts. Probiotic bacteria are not a permanent inhabitant of the human microbial flora, therefore they must be taken with food continuously and over a long period of time in order to feel their health effects. The purpose of the probiotic is to strengthen the body's immune system and maintain the balance of the gastrointestinal microflora. Bentonite has a proven positive effect on digestive problems such as: acid reflux, bloating, gas, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. In addition, montmorillonite has antibacterial properties and bentonite modulates the body's immune response. Bentonite particles suppress the production of lipopolysaccharides by pathogenic bacteria and thus make them more susceptible to antibodies. Research shows that bentonite is very effective against antibiotic-resistant staph, as well as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Bacteria cannot develop resistance to bentonite like they can to antibiotics.

The active ingredient in bentonite is montmorillonite

Magnesium is important for all living organisms (including probiotic bacteria) due to its ability to bind to proteins or other molecules, transport ions, activate and mediate a number of biochemical reactions.

It is estimated that between 30% and 67% of magnesium intake is completely absorbed. The digestibility of magnesium as a dietary supplement depends to a large extent on the substance with which it is combined. According to the invention, magnesium oxide is included in the proposed composition. Unexpectedly, it was found that when combined with water, magnesium oxide forms a base that increases the Ph in the body, an action that is close to the action of montmorillonite. It has been established that the two ingredients of the composition according to the invention have a one-way effect, i.e. potentiation is achieved. At the same time, the magnesium oxide forms negative ions that bind to the positive ions of the montmorillonite and provide the possibility of its action in the digestive tract, rather than being absorbed through the small intestine. According to the invention, a prolongation of the positive effect of montmorillonite and magnesium oxide is achieved.

It is necessary to specify that the food supplement contains live bacteria of 2-5 billion in 1 g of product.

The dietary supplement is a dry powdery substance that is available as capsules.

The advantages provided by the composition according to the invention are:

Due to its high pH, bentonite improves the environment in the digestive tract and increases the viability of probiotic bacteria, while limiting the reproduction of other unwanted microflora such as e.g. helicobacter pylori, thanks to the alkaline environment it creates. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the content of bacteria in the capsules while maintaining the same therapeutic effect, or to significantly increase the action of the probiotic with the same amount of bacteria.

The composition does not contain any animal products. The vegetable agar-agar gel is a natural organic polymer that improves the viscosity of bentonite, unlike the currently used synthetic polymers. The organic polymer also provides a favorable nutritional environment for the probiotic bacteria.

The composition according to the invention is a powerful probiotic with improved vitality of beneficial bacteria and satisfies the need for magnesium in the human body. At the same time, it has a detoxifying effect and its use leads to an improvement of the pH balance in the body.
