Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food for periodontal disease, and an object of the present invention is to provide a food for preventing or reducing abnormalities in periodontal tissue by continuous eating.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Periodontal tissue abnormalities include drainage from the gingiva, absorption of the alveolar bone, loosening and swaying of the teeth and bleeding from the gums preceding it, poor gingival circulation, bad breath, soaking of cold water, etc.
This is a disease that shows a variety of clinical features and is rarely seen as completely cured despite being widely experienced in general. In fact, several statistics show that more than 90% of people over the age of 40 have periodontal disease, which also statistically proves to be a high risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, periodontal tissue abnormalities are too general
Due to the lack of consciousness that is considered to be related to whole body health, there is almost no effort except for dental treatment and no daily effort for preventive improvement, and there is no food for preventive improvement. The clinical picture of abnormalities is difficult to be completely cured by dental treatment, and preventive measures are limited to thorough brushing habits and regular removal of plaque, and are rarely effective in practice.

On the other hand, Spirulina is a kind of cyanobacteria remarkably proliferating by photosynthesis, and has a long history of being consumed for the purpose of utilizing its abundant nutrients. The nutrients include a large amount of protein with a good amino acid balance (about 60
%), Glycogen, β-carotene,
There are various kinds of vitamins, mainly B group, and pigments such as chlorophyll and phycocyanin.
It is involved in the expression of various functions in combination.

The following are known as the functions of Spirulina, for example. That is, they are improvements in diabetes, decreased liver function, anemia, constipation, female hormone imbalance, lipid metabolism, allergic tendency, hypertension, etc., and activation of macrophages, gamma globulin A, interferon gamma, natural killer cells, etc. The ability to cope with periodontal disease by improving and preventing abnormalities in periodontal tissues is not known.

[0005] The functions of spirulina known so far are often merely revealed by animal experiments or the like, or are merely self-reported based on eating experience without human clinical trials. In fact, it is difficult to determine if the probability is necessarily high, and the difference in the expression of functions among the eaters is not small.

[0006] In other words, with regard to the improvement of physical function due to eating Spirulina, and the improvement of physical disorders associated therewith, in particular, prevention, the ability expression of the already distributed Spirulina food is not uncertain due to the constitution and physical condition of the eater. Contribution in the improvement and prevention of abnormalities, particularly in periodontal tissue, is hardly expected.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventor has set forth a study of a population in which periodontal tissue has bleeding or bleeding, or bad breath or tooth sway is found, although no abnormalities are found in various examination findings in a general condition. Seeing that the ability to maintain good health in daily life is unnecessarily reduced, there is no experience of eating and the safety evaluation is fixed. As a result of intensive research, the dried powder of Spirulina, which is conventionally used as a carrier, and a water extract of Spirulina and an alcohol extract of Spirulina added to it successfully improved and prevented periodontal tissue abnormalities that were difficult to prevent. The present inventors have found that the present invention exhibits an effect corresponding to periodontal disease, and have accomplished the present invention.

[0008]

The invention according to claim 1 relates to a food product for periodontal disease, wherein a spirulina water extract and a spirulina alcohol extract are added to dried spirulina powder.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The food for periodontal disease according to the present invention comprises a dried powder of Spirulina and an aqueous extract of Spirulina and an alcohol extract of Spirulina.

Spirulina used in the present invention is a fine spiral algae of the genus Spirulina belonging to the order Cyprididae,
It is a prokaryote different from general plants, green algae such as chlorella, and algae such as diatoms and brown algae, and has the same origin as bacteria. Spirulina Maxima (Sp
irulina maxima), Spirulina platensis, Spirulina gaytle
ri), Spirulina Mayer
ajor), Spirulina Princess (Spirul)
ina principals, Spirulina siamese, Spirulina curta, Spirulina subsalsa
a) and the like, and in the present invention, use of Spirulina maxima, Spirulina platensis, etc. is preferred.

As the dried powder of Spirulina, dried algal cells of Spirulina are used. The method of drying Spirulina may be any known method, and it is appropriate to use freeze-dried algal cells or spray-dried algal cells.

[0012] The water used to obtain the Spirulina water extract is
The alcohol used to obtain the spirulina alcohol extract, which conforms to the drinking water standard, is not limited to alcohol that is allowed to be drunk, and the use of alcoholic beverages does not hinder the effects of the present invention. May be within the range of 5 to 99 degrees, and in the present invention, it is desirable to use an alcohol of 10 to 70 degrees. In each case, add 10 times the amount to the dried spirulina powder, sufficiently infiltrate and separate, and collect the liquid portion.

The dry powder of Spirulina used in the present invention is 50
In the range of ~ 90% by weight, the amount of spirulina aqueous extract is 5 ~ 2.
The amount of spirulina alcohol extract within the range of 5% by weight and the amount of spirulina alcohol extract within the range of 5 to 25% by weight are acceptable, but preferably, spirulina dry powder 60 to 80, spirulina water extract 10 to 20, and spirulina alcohol extract 10-2
0% by weight is appropriate. The amount of each concentrate added when the spirulina water extract and the spirulina alcohol extract are concentrated and added to the dried spirulina powder is calculated from the amount of each extract before concentration. (That is, when the extract is concentrated to 1/2 volume, the amount of the concentrate added is half the amount of the extract to be added.)

[0014]

[Examples] According to the following compounding ratio, dried Spirulina powder, Spirulina water extract and Spirulina alcohol extract are mixed, and dried and pulverized to a total water content of 6% or less. Make 2g small granules. Mixing ratio Spirulina dried powder 70 (wt%, same hereafter) Spirulina water extract 15 Spirulina alcohol extract 15

[0015]

[Test Example 1] In the treatment of periodontal disease, the granules of the Example were taken twice a day, in the morning and evening, in addition to the usual treatment (visit once a week).
Ingested 5 tablets at a time. All subjects had bleeding gums,
Swelling, drainage, tooth sway. The test subjects consisted of 11 girls (36-58 years old) and 10 boys (47-
74 years old). The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0016] In addition, P2 in the initial state is bleeding due to the color of the gums,
Cold water seeps. P3 is in a state of bad breath along with P2. (By the way, P1 for gum bleeding and P4 for tooth extraction
It is said. )

[0017]

[0018]

[Test Example 2] Gummy bleeding occurs at each tooth brushing, but the swelling of gingiva, drainage, tooth sway, and feeling of pain in cold water and no awareness of pain are observed in 9 men and women. 15 tablets 1
Thirty tablets were ingested for 4 weeks per day, and the gum bleeding states during tooth brushing before and after this ingestion period were compared. Table 3 shows the results. Comparative Criteria-Stage 4 ... Clear bleeding is observed in the dentifrice in the mouth after dentifrice. Step 3: After dentifrice, trace bleeding is observed in the dentifrice in the mouth, and then blood remains in the gargle. Step 2: After dentifrice, trace bleeding is observed in the dentifrice in the mouth, but no blood is observed in the gargle water thereafter. Stage 1: No bleeding is observed in the dentifrice in the mouth after brushing. The improvement of two or more stages is effective, the improvement of one stage is slightly effective, and the others are invalid. Table 3 shows the results.

[0018]

[0019]

As can be seen from Tables 1, 2 and 3, the invention according to claim 1, ie, spirulina dried powder,
Continuous consumption of spirulina water extract and spirulina alcohol extract-added foods for periodontal disease can prevent gums that are often overlooked and prevent periodontal disease, and can also prevent gums from bleeding, swelling, and elimination. It became clear that dental treatment could be accelerated by stopping pus and swaying teeth. In other words, it can be understood that the food is an extremely useful food that provides fruitful prevention and improvement in response to periodontal disease.
