Description

Nutritional Composition For a Bone Condition
The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for prevention or treatment of a bone condition, a method of production of the composition, use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of a bone condition, and a method of treatment of a bone condition which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition.
Within the context of this specification the word "comprises" is taken to mean "includes, among other things". It is not intended to be construed as "consists of only".
The term "bone condition" is taken to mean a condition in which the health of osseous tissue including bone or teeth is affected. It includes an ailment selected from the group which comprises osteoporosis; osteoporotic fractures and bone fractures, typically hip and forearm fractures; as well as conditions in which deficient calcium absorption, retention, resorption or calcification is implicated.
Americans greater than 65 years old, at the turn of the century, accounted for 4% of the US population; currently, they account for greater than 12% of the population. However, although they only account for 12% of the US population, they account for greater than 40% of acute hospital bed days, buy greater than 30% of all prescription drugs and spend 30% of the US health budget. Furthermore, it has been estimated that in 2030, greater than 70 million Americans (1 :5) will be over the age of 65, and those over 85 are expected to experience the highest percentage increase of all age groups.
As the average age of the population increases, obtaining a better understanding of the unique aspects of aging in relation to nutritional needs and treatment is imperative. Many physiologic functions decline progressively throughout adult life and have an impact on nutrition. For instance, a reduction in the number of functioning cells and the resultant slowing of metabolic processes results in a decrease in caloric requirements among the elderly. Also, the reduction in physical activity that generally accompanies aging further decreases energy requirements.
However, merely decreasing the total caloric intake of an elderly patient may adversely affect their required nutrition. When the total caloric intake is reduced, the remaining food intake must carefully insure a properly balanced intake of proteins, vitamins and minerals. To reduce caloric intake in the elderly, consumption of "empty" calories (i.e. fats) can be reduced and consumption of nutrient-dense foods (i.e. carbohydrates and proteins) can be increased.
While the nutritional needs of the mature adult differ from those of an adult, in health care settings, standard nutritional formulae are the primary form of elemental nutrition currently used. Naturally, standard formulae do not take into account the nutritional needs of an elderly patient. Standard products suffer from the problem that they must be supplemented with key micronutrients to compensate for common deficiencies and metabolic changes of an elderly patient. Therefore, a need exists for a nutritional composition which meets the nutritional needs of an elderly patient.
In addition to the above problems, a composition is required to address the problems of preventing bone loss and recovery from bone trauma in the elderly as well as in clinical and performance settings.
Furthermore, it is known that the effects of diet and nutritional supplements can play a role in improving the survival and quality of life. In particular, a need exists for a nutritional composition which can help to improve bone health.
The present invention addresses the problems set out above. Remarkably, a composition has now been found that can be used to provide nutrition to an elderly patient as well as performance nutrition or clinical nutrition eg. to a hospital patient.
Accordingly, in a first aspect, the invention provides a composition for prevention or treatment of a bone condition which comprises a source of protein, a source of carbohydrate, a source of fat, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D and vitamin K.
In a second aspect the invention provides a method of producing a composition according to a first aspect of the invention which comprises a step of blending the required nutrients, minerals or vitamins together in the required amounts.
In a third aspect the invention provides use of a composition according to a first aspect of the invention in the prevention or treatment of a bone condition.
In a fourth aspect the invention provides use of a composition according to a first aspect of the invention in the manufacture of a functional food or medicament for the prevention or treatment of a bone condition.
In a fifth aspect the invention provides a method of prevention or treatment of a bone condition which comprises administering an effective amount of an embodiment of a composition according to a first aspect of the invention.
Preferably, a composition according to an embodiment of the invention comprises calcium derived from milk calcium. This is a complex form of calcium which is present in milk. Preferably, an embodiment of a composition according to the invention comprises one or more nutrients, minerals or vitamins selected from the group which consists of copper, vitamin E, vitamin C.
More preferably it comprises at least one nutrient, mineral or vitamin selected from the group that consists of soy isoflavones, inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, caseino- glycomacropeptide (CGMP), casein phosphopeptide or a mixture thereof. Even more preferably the embodiment comprises two or more of these nutrients. Most preferably it comprises all of these nutrients.
Preferably, inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are provided in the form of a blend. Preferably, the blend has a ratio of inulin:FOS of about 20 to about 45 : about 80 to about 55 by weight. More preferably the ratio of inulin:FOS is about 30:about 70 by weight.
Preferably, an embodiment comprises 10-110% of the recommended dietary intake for the elderly of the above nutrients, minerals or vitamins. More preferably it comprises the following amounts of nutrients, minerals or vitamins (if present) per 300 g of the composition. Preferably this is the amount of composition administered per day.
Calcium : preferably about 120 mg to about 1200 mg, more preferably about 800 mg Magnesium: preferably about 42 mg to about 420 mg, more preferably about 210 mg Zinc: preferably about 1.5 mg to about 15 mg , more preferably about 15 mg Vitamin D: preferably about 1.5 ug to about 15 ug, more preferably about 10 ug Vitamin K : preferably about 0.8 ug to about 80 ug, more preferably about 60 ug Copper: preferably about 0.3 mg to about 3 mg, more preferably about 1.5 mg Vitamin E. preferably about 1 IU to about 10 IU, more preferably about 5 IU Vitamin C: preferably about 6 mg to about 60 mg, more preferably about 30 mg Soy isoflavones: preferably about 10 mg to about 200 mg, more preferably about 90 mg
Inulin/Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) blend: preferably about 4 g to about 50 g, more preferably about 6 g Caseinglycomacropeptide (CGMP): preferably about 1 g to about 100 g, more preferably about 5 g
Casein phosphopeptide (CPP): preferably about 0.1 g to about 10 g, more preferably about 0.5 g.
Preferably, an embodiment of a method according to the invention comprises the steps of blending the nutrients, minerals or vitamins in the required amounts and/or extruding the blended mixture. More preferably it includes spray drying the mixture.
An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a nutritional composition that can be disolved instantaneously in water to provide a beverage or soup. It does not require cooking.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a single composition that can be adapted and administered simply in a food for the prevention or treatment of a bone condition. The compostion can be provided in clinical or performance nutrition settings and is particularly suitable for an elderly patient.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a composition beneficial for diabetics. This is due to the specific composition of macronutrients, protein, carbohydrate and fat which provides a low glycemic index.
Additional features and advantages of the present invention are described in, and will be apparent from the description of the presently preferred embodiments which are set out below. For the purposes of clarity and a concise description features are described herein as part of the same or separate embodiments, however it will be appreciated that the scope of the invention may include embodiments having combinations of all or some of the features described.
