Description

  The present invention relates to a health food composition mainly composed of a processed product of tomorrow and an active ingredient of amino acids in order to maintain, enhance and improve people's health.

  Health promotion law has been enforced, people's desire for health is increasing, and soot is full of what is called health food. Health foods using ingredients that are said to have effective effects from around the world are increasing year by year, and there are many products of animal and plant-derived ingredients that are unfamiliar to Japanese or heard for the first time.

  It is natural that the health food composition has been confirmed to be safe, effective and effective for maintaining, enhancing and improving health. Ingredients that have been eaten over a long period of time and that have been used in daily life due to their medicinal properties and effects are still safe.

  In addition, a food with a good combination of nutrient balances is required as a food premise. Particularly in the case of plant-derived materials, vitamins and minerals are abundant, but proteins (amino acids) are relatively low. The present invention is to provide a health food composition that satisfies the above-described conditions and is enhanced.

  In the present invention, raw materials and blends that have the potential to maintain, improve and improve people's health were studied and information was collected. As a result, an optimal combination of tomorrow, which has the greatest anti-gastric ulcer activity, gastric acid secretion inhibitory activity, and peripheral vasodilatory activity, with amino acids characterized by ulcer healing ability, blood flow improvement, and blood pressure lowering ability, Expected to be more effective than individual effects in the body.

  By combining amino acids with processed tomorrow products, the nutritional balance is remarkably improved, and the health food composition of combining processed tomorrow products with amino acids is an unprecedented combination. That is, the present invention is a processed food product of tomorrow and an amino acid health food composition.

  The details of tomorrow, which has the most anti-ulcer action, gastric acid secretion inhibitory action, and peripheral vasodilatory action, will be described. Tomorrow is a large perennial vegetation of Japan's unique celery family Angelica, which grows naturally on the Boso Peninsula, Miura Peninsula, Izu Peninsula, Izu Islands, and Kii Peninsula. In the Edo period, it was called Ashitagusa, Idagusa, Hachijosou and used to prevent smallpox.

  Next, the effect of tomorrow on the body is characterized by the fact that yellow leaves from the cut surface when the stem of tomorrow is cut. This yellow juice contains chalcone, a component unique to tomorrow. It is. As chalcones peculiar to tomorrow, two types of chalcone derivatives, xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin, are known. Gastric acid secretion inhibitory action, antioxidant action, antitumor action, etc. have been reported.

  The details of the health effects of tomorrow are described here. Xanthoangelol contained in tomorrow has gastric acid secretion suppression and antitumor effects. In the gastric acid secretion mechanism in the cell wall of the stomach, HCl is generated and secreted into the gastric lumen by a proton pump present in the microvilli. This proton pump is inhibited by xanthoangelol and strongly suppresses stimulated acid secretion for a long time, thereby suppressing gastric acid secretion and anti-gastric ulcer action.

  Next, the blood flow promoting action by xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin contained in tomorrow leaves. There are many factors that can cause thrombosis. Among them, the substance called thromboxane A2 is one of the metabolites of arachidonic acid, and has platelet aggregation and blood vessel smooth muscle contraction action, which is a major factor of blood flow inhibition. Xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin suppress the production of thromboxane A2. As a result, blood pressure is lowered by preventing blood clots and dilating (relaxing) blood vessels, thereby promoting blood flow.

  In addition to the above, tomorrow leaves are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and are effective in eliminating and preventing constipation and metabolic activity by potassium. Japanese people have been eating for a long time, and there is a history of being used as a folk medicine in some regions, so safety has been proven, and even today, leaves and stems are mixed and drunk as juice, tempura, Oitashi In addition, it is kneaded into foods using flour (noodles, bread, manju), and in addition to its health function, its taste and color add color to its diet.

  Next, amino acids having various health functions such as ulcer healing ability, blood flow improvement, and blood pressure reduction will be described. At present, foods containing amino acids are not limited to athletes but are also used by the general public. Initially, it was used by people with specific purposes such as increasing the endurance of athletes, recovering from fatigue, and strengthening muscles. When its positive effects were demonstrated at international sporting events, amino acids were gradually recognized by people who do not normally play sports. Among amino acids, arginine, glutamine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine are known to have effects and benefits related to sports such as energy sources during exercise and muscle fatigue recovery. It plays a major role in maintaining, improving and improving health.

  Arginine produces nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Nitric oxide widens blood vessels and prevents blood from solidifying, improving blood flow and preventing arteriosclerosis. Nitric oxide also scavenges active oxygen and strengthens immunity. This action enhances protective factors, and can prevent or improve peptic ulcer.

  Glutamine is not an essential amino acid, but is an amino acid that is regarded as important for medical use. Infusions containing glutamine are used to maintain nutrition and maintain strength in order to maintain the physical strength of the patient after surgery and not to lose muscle. Glutamine is not limited to muscles, and has the function of increasing the proliferation of cells such as the stomach and intestines, and therefore has a function of protecting the stomach mucosa damaged by excessive gastric acidity or ulcers.

  Valine, leucine, and isoleucine are called branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and are the main components of the proteins that make up muscle fibers. It is an amino acid that has a repairing ability for tissues other than muscle fibers and also works to improve immunity.

  As mentioned above, processed tomorrow products that have an important role in anti-ulcer, gastric acid secretion suppression, peripheral vasodilatory action and amino acids with the greatest features of ulcer healing ability, blood flow improvement, blood pressure lowering action are The effect is the same, but the mechanism of action is different. Since both of them go through different processes and the purpose is the same, taking into the body at the same time is expected to have an additive or synergistic effect over the effect of taking tomorrow's processed products and amino acids individually .

  The noodles, cookies, biscuits, bread, cakes, and the compositions prepared within the scope of claim 1 or 2 as health foods or health drinks, the health food composition mainly composed of processed tomorrow and amino acids in the present invention , Jelly, mousse and other foods, soft drinks, lactic acid beverages and other various beverages. Moreover, you may process and use as a formulation in any form of a powder agent, a granule, a tablet, and a capsule.

  By using the processed food product of tomorrow and the amino acid health food composition of the present invention in foods, drinking water, etc. or using it as a preparation, antiulcer action, gastric acid secretion inhibitory action, blood flow improvement, blood pressure lowering effect can be obtained, As a result, people's health can be maintained, enhanced, and improved.

Example 1
Tomorrow's powder 3 g L-arginine 150 mg, L-glutamine 200 mg combined with water or hot water to make 100 ml, and 5 people who feel discomfort in the stomach were ingested twice a day.
Although there is a blue odor peculiar to tomorrow, I didn't care much, and I felt some bitterness of amino acids, but rather a refreshing taste, and five people said that the stomach discomfort was alleviated after drinking Obtained from 3 of them.

Example 2
It adjusted so that it might be set to 600 mg combining 3 types of L-valine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine with 4 g of tomorrow leaf powder, and 1 part of the flour of bread making was replaced, and it manufactured as usual.
As a result, the flavor of tomorrow remained in the green dough of tomorrow, and the taste unique to amino acids was not felt.
