BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nutritional drink containing eleuthero, and more particularly to a nutritional drink that promotes general health by improving mental health and stress. Further, the present invention also relates to a nutritional drink that has a complex diet effect by having an anti-stress effect, an appetite stabilizing effect, a calorie balance suitable for body fat burning, and the like. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a nutritional drink having a health promotion effect and a diet effect.

2. Description of the Related Art People living in modern society are healthy without any illness due to diversification of living environment, work environment, complicated human relationships, and excessive stress caused by them. However, they often have some kind of mental and physical trouble or indefinite complaint. These complex mental and physical worries and indefinite complaints include accumulation of fatigue, irritability due to stress, loss of concentration,
Decreased motivation and mood (depression, etc.), unstable appetite (overeating, loss of appetite), obesity due to increased body weight and body fat, stiff shoulders and back pain, eye strain, etc. , Skin troubles, irregular menstruation, etc.

For some time, dietary methods and exercise methods have been proposed in order to improve these health conditions. Recently, consumers are interested in nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.) that contain nutrients that have specific effects, but it is safe and effective to take individual nutrients alone. It is said that it is necessary to take various nutrients at the same time in order to obtain a high effect. Therefore, complex supplements, conventional health foods (snacks, drinks, nutrition-enhanced foods, etc.), functional health foods, etc. have been receiving attention.

By the way, although diet is booming these days, the main cause of the increase in weight and fat mass is often overeating, and it is said that the influence of stress is great when the root cause is further investigated. Therefore, relieving the stress that is the root cause is important for improving or promoting health including elimination of obesity. In addition, the diet itself may cause stress, and it may not be effective to forcibly restrict the diet or exercise a lot. Therefore, a diet that does not accumulate stress is required.

It has been recognized that stress and other complex factors need to be taken into account for effective dieting. For example, relieving stress, improving metabolism, normalizing hormone balance, improving bowel function to improve bowel movements, suppressing excessive appetite, improving fat burning efficiency, etc. Is mentioned.

inseng (former scientific name "Eleutherococcus
Senticosus Maxim ") and is known to have antihypertensive action, spermatic gland and adrenal cortex hyperactivity action, and anti-stress action. However, it is said that there are no side effects.

In addition, recent studies have revealed that the efficiency of fat burning is improved by adjusting the caloric balance of the nutrients contained in the ingested food and drink. According to the report, when the calorie balance of sugar, protein, and lipid is 50:30:20 sugar: protein: lipid, it is suitable for burning body fat.

Improvement of mental health in 30 cases (31%)
Yes, most, refresh, improve energy, improve resistance,
Stress relief, reduction of fatigue such as metabolic improvement, improvement of physical condition 1
Although it was the second most common case in 5 cases (16%), there is scientific data that eleuthero is effective in reducing the effects caused by mental health and stress.
It is thought that this is mainly due to the effect of Eleuthero in the present nutritional drink, but it is also possible that the synergistic effect with other nutrients is involved. It is considered that the effects of eleuthero are also mainly related to improvement of sleep states such as sleepiness and waking (7 cases) and appetite enhancement (1 case). Since alleviation of these stress-induced symptoms accounts for more than half (53 cases) of the results of the questionnaire survey of this example, effectiveness of stress improvement is recognized.

In addition, improvement of bowel movements and constipation was observed in 15 cases (16 cases).
%), Improved skin condition in 11 cases (11%), improved swelling (2)
Example), alleviation of allergies (2 cases), amelioration of menstrual irregularity (1)
Examples) were mentioned, but it is considered that each nutrient contained in the present nutritional drink acted alone or synergistically. For example, it is considered that xylooligosaccharide, dietary fiber, etc. mainly acted to improve constipation and bowel movement, and soybean lecithin, soybean protein, various vitamins, etc. acted to improve skin condition. It is also considered that eleuthero, chamomile, citric acid, etc. acted to improve swelling, and eleuthero, etc. acted to alleviate allergies. Eleuthero, various vitamins, etc. are involved in physiological disorder it is conceivable that.

Further, 12 cases (13%) were found to have a diet effect such as weight loss (body weight / body fat amount) and stable appetite.
It is considered that this is the result of the stress-relieving effect of eleuthero, and the effects of suppressing overeating, improving metabolism, and increasing the amount of activity, etc. in some subjects who actually responded to the diet effect. Motivation and "energy" etc.)
Since the improvement of the body condition and the reduction of fatigue (reduction of fatigue) were observed, the relationship with the stress relieving effect is inferred. It is considered that the diet effect is further increased by drinking for a longer period of time. Furthermore, it can be said that this diet effect is a result of the caloric balance of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (50%: 30%: 20%), which are the three major energy sources, contributing to improvement and improvement of fat metabolism and appetite stabilization. .

As described above, it can be seen that the present nutritional drink has a remarkable effect in improving and improving mental health. Further, the beverage of the present invention had an anti-stress effect, was suitable for fat burning, and was able to enhance the diet effect more complexly. Further, the present invention was able to improve overall health by improving mental health and stress.
