DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a chewable composition which can be easily ingested simply by masticating an effective ingredient for the body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Ingredients that have some effect on the human body and are difficult to supplement with meals alone (hereinafter referred to as "active ingredients") are generally used for drug administration and dietary supplements (hereinafter referred to as "active ingredients"). These are collectively referred to as “active ingredient contents.”) And are taken into the body. Examples of the method of ingesting the active ingredient-containing substance include oral ingestion and ingestion by direct administration into a blood vessel by injection or infusion, but oral ingestion is the most common in terms of easy ingestion. It is.

[0003] By the way, in recent years, the so-called "inner cosmetics" is a beauty promotion method, that is, as an active ingredient-containing substance, for example, an active ingredient having excellent cosmetic effects such as various amino acids, minerals, and collagen is used. 2. Description of the Related Art A beauty promotion method has been known to make the body beautiful by taking it orally.

[0004]

[0007] For the purpose of the above-mentioned "inner cosmetics" and the like, the orally ingested active ingredient content has conventionally been mostly in the form of powders, granules or tablets. Met. However, since the active ingredient-containing substance in the above form is made on the assumption that it is taken together with water, it is very difficult to take it without water, and the place where it can be taken is limited. There is a problem.

[0005] When the place where the active ingredient-containing substance is taken is limited as described above, for example, in order to carry out "inner cosmetics", every time the active ingredient-containing substance containing a component having an excellent cosmetic effect is taken, the active ingredient-containing substance is taken. Water must be prepared, making it difficult to continue taking daily.

[0006] In addition to the above-mentioned "inner cosmetics", when the active ingredient-containing substance has a medicinal component for the gastrointestinal tract, for example, when an emergency such as sudden abdominal pain occurs on the go, etc. Even if you have an active ingredient containing a gastrointestinal medicinal ingredient,
It would be difficult to take the medicine because there is no water nearby, and it may not be meaningful to have the active ingredient content.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and does not require water when ingesting a component having various effects, does not require a place where it can be taken, and can be easily taken. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chewable composition that can be used.

[0008]

In order to achieve such an object, the mastication composition according to claim 1 of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "mastication composition of claim 1") is chewable. In a chewing composition composed of a polymer material as a base member, a component having an effect on promoting health, a medicinal component, a component having an effect on diet, a component having a cosmetic effect, and acting at least in the intestine to deodorize. At least one or more components consisting of a group selected from components having an effect,
The base member is contained as an effective component for the body.

In the above structure, the chewable polymer material used as the base member is not particularly limited. For example, vinyl acetate resin, ester gum, polyisobutylene, natural rubber, and the like generally used as a gum base material and the like are used. In addition to water-insoluble polymer materials such as tickle, gelton, parata, gutta percha, and solver, etc., water-soluble cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose alkali metal salts, methyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose, alkali metal alginate such as sodium alginate, propylene glycol alginate Gums such as esters, carrageenan, xanthan gum and gum arabic; water-soluble polymer materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate and polyvinylpyrrolidone; Ten like proteins such as.

[0010] Particularly, when the chewing composition of the present invention is formed into a chewing gum-like shape, it can be industrially efficiently produced as a polymer material constituting the base member, and the chewing feeling is excellent. Therefore, it is preferable to use a vinyl acetate resin. The chewing composition of the present invention may be in the form of gummy jelly.

[0011] In the above-mentioned constitution, the component having an effect of promoting health is not particularly limited. For example, components used in dietary supplements such as various vitamins and minerals, fur seal extract, garlic extract,
Nourishing tonic components such as viper extract.

The medicinal component is not particularly limited, but includes, for example, a component used as an anti-inflammatory analgesic for toothache, headache and menstrual pain, a cold drug component, a tannin-containing plant component having a liver function-enhancing and antiaging effect, Antibiotic components,
Gastrointestinal components, rhinitis components such as antihistamine, cough components such as codeine phosphate, stiff shoulder components such as B vitamins and Kakkonto, laxative components, bifidobacteria, brewer's yeast, gongon, and oakaku. Intestinal components, antihypertensive components such as antihypertensive diuretics, components having a bactericidal effect on sore throat, components effective for hair growth such as anti-androgens, female hormones, and remedies for prostatic hypertrophy.

The component having an effect on diet is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include citrus, garcinia, gymnema, and pepper. In particular, as in the mastication composition according to claim 3 of the present invention, the efficiency is higher if it contains at least one or more extracts selected from the group consisting of salicia extract, laurel extract, gymnema extract and natural chitosan extract. It is preferable because dieting can be well performed, and it is particularly preferable to include all of the three extracts because a more effective diet can be achieved by a synergistic effect of each extract.

[0014] When the chewing composition contains an effective ingredient for diet as described above, the muscle of the chin is forcibly moved by mastication, so that a tightening effect of the face line can be expected. You can expect more effects than taking.

[0015] In addition, as components having an effect on beauty,
Although not particularly limited, for example, whitening ingredients such as Amakusa, vitamin preparations and cometaca, and beautiful skin ingredients such as multivitamin are exemplified. In particular, like the mastication composition according to claim 4 of the present invention, the cosmetically effective component contains at least one of placenta extract and collagen, and also contains vitamin C and / or a vitamin C derivative. With this configuration, whitening can be promoted, and by combining with the tightening effect of the face line as described above, it is possible to work more efficiently on beauty.

The component acting on the intestine and having an effect of deodorizing is not particularly limited as long as it has an effect of deodorizing bad breath, body odor, fecal odor, gas odor and the like. As in the mastication composition according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, a composition containing at least one or more selected from the group consisting of a champignon extract, a tannin-rich plant extract, various oligosaccharides, and catechin is exemplified.

[0017] Unlike the conventional chewing gum for preventing bad breath, the chewing composition having the above-mentioned structure is designed to deodorize from inside the body, so that the deodorizing can be achieved more reliably, so that it can be used in daily life. Not only can it improve etiquette in the field, but also if the components that have a deodorizing effect have the function of suppressing body odor and fecal odor such as champignon extract, the problem of odor at the time of hospitalization care and elderly care Can also be solved. In addition, it goes without saying that in addition to the above-described configuration, flavors and the like used in conventional chewing gum may be contained in the chewing composition.

Further, the chewable composition may contain only one kind, or two or more kinds of effective ingredients for the body in the chewable base member, and is not particularly limited. However, as in the mastication composition according to claim 2, when the component effective for the body is contained in the base member in the form of microcapsules, the time for exerting the effect of the component effective for the body can be freely set. It is preferable because it can be adjusted and the progress of deterioration of the effective component can be suppressed.

In the above structure, the form of the microcapsule is not limited to the form in which the active ingredient is filled in the microcapsule, and the form in which the active ingredient is contained in the film component forming the microcapsule itself. Including. The microcapsules are not particularly limited as long as they are edible, and examples thereof include proteins such as gelatin and polysaccharides such as agar as a film base material.

The chewing composition of the present invention may contain not only an effective ingredient for the body but also a flavor and a sweetener in the base member. Here, examples of the sweetener include, but are not particularly limited to, sugar (sucrose), D-mannitol, xylitol, erythritol, D-sorbitol, maltose, reduced maltose starch syrup, maltitol, and other sugars, aspartame, stevia, saccharin sodium, Thaumatin, disodium glycyrrhizinate and the like.
