Description

  The present invention relates to a calcium supplement drink capable of supplementing calcium without causing a calcium paradox, and a method for producing the same.

  In recent years, various diseases caused by calcium deficiency have become a problem.

  For example, osteoporosis is a typical example. This is because the calcium that constitutes the bone elutes excessively, so that the bone becomes a so-called “scat-like state”, and sufficient strength cannot be maintained. It is a disease that will break.

  Factors that cause such abnormal calcium elution include, for example, (1) a small diet with aging and a decrease in intake of calcium and vitamin B itself, and (2) active vitamin B due to a decrease in kidney function. The amount of production decreases, (3) the ability of calcium ions to be absorbed into the intestinal tract decreases, and (4) the secretion of female hormone decreases, resulting in a lack of calcium in the blood. In order to make up for the lack of calcium, it is thought to be caused by excessive elution of calcium accumulated in bones. In order to make up for such a calcium deficiency, it is generally known to supplement calcium deficiency by ingesting a supplement containing calcium or drinking milk.

  On the other hand, the presence of somatid is shown in Non-Patent Document 1, for example. The sampling method is disclosed in the inventor's already filed application (Patent Document 1).

  However, there is the fact that calcium taken by supplements and by milk does not reach the bone and lead to increased bone mass, even if taken. For example, Norway, the Netherlands, the United States, etc., are the countries with the highest milk intake in the world, and the incidence of osteoporosis in these countries is the highest in the world. Furthermore, even in Japan, Hokkaido has the highest consumption of milk, but this Hokkaido is listed as one of the regions with high incidence of osteoporosis in Japan. The meaning of such data means that even if calcium such as milk is ingested, the contained calcium does not reach the bone efficiently.

  In addition, recent research suggests that ingestion of milk and supplements containing calcium causes the lack of calcium by melting your bones (so-called “calcium paradox”). .

  More specifically, by taking orally milk or supplements containing calcium, the calcium concentration in the blood temporarily rises rapidly. In contrast, homeostasis of the living body acts to return the blood calcium concentration to an appropriate value, and as a result, it tries to excrete calcium rapidly outside the body (thyroid hormone based on brain commands). Action). By this action, the blood calcium concentration rapidly decreases, but this rate of decrease temporarily becomes excessive, and so-called “down symptoms” occur. And this time, in order to return the excessive decrease in calcium concentration caused by this Down symptom to the normal level (9 to 11 mg / dl), it tries to compensate by eluting calcium present in one's bones. . That is, a “calcium paradox” is generated in which the intake of calcium causes the dissolution of calcium in bones.

  In addition to dissolving your bones, thyroid hormones also act to distribute calcium to cells, which can lead to excessive delivery of calcium eluted from the bones to the cells. When calcium (Ca ion) is excessively present in a cell, it may cause a problem in signal transmission between the cells and cause problems. In addition, since calcium ions are cations, if they are present in excess, they will adhere to stressed parts (negatively charged) in the body. For example, it is electrically adsorbed at a place where cholesterol is adsorbed on the inner wall of the blood vessel (= stressed place), causing arteriosclerosis and causing various diseases.

  This invention is made | formed in order to solve the said subject, Comprising: It is providing the drink which can replenish calcium easily and effectively, without causing a calcium paradox.

  As in the embodiment described below, the above problem is solved by mixing calcium-containing beverages with somatide collected from Kamionisiki fossil to obtain calcium-supplemented beverages.

  The inventor has focused on the fact that osteoporosis is improved by eating a powder obtained by pulverizing a fossil shellfish fossil.

  Shell fossil powder is rich in ancient somatids. By extracting this somatide (see Patent Document 1 for the extraction method) and adding it to a beverage containing calcium, calcium is efficiently accumulated in the bone without causing a so-called calcium paradox. The inventor found out. However, the mechanism by which somatide efficiently transports calcium into bone is not clearly understood at this time.

  Thus, by extracting somatide and adding it to a beverage containing calcium, it can be taken orally as a beverage. That is, it is possible to avoid the “powder” as in the case of ingesting the shell fossil powder as it is, and the powder does not enter the organ and cough, and the powder clogged by the cough is not scattered.

  The beverage may be milk. Thereby, calcium contained in milk can be efficiently accumulated in bone.

  Moreover, the said Kamionisiki shell fossil is good to comprise the fossil of Kamionisiki shellfish which inhabited 2000 to 25 million years ago.

  This makes it possible to use somatid that has a high effect of accumulating calcium in bone, and to reduce the amount of somatide added.

  Moreover, you may comprise the solvent of the said drink with alkaline ionized water. Thereby, the environment with respect to somatid can be made favorable.

  In addition, as in the embodiment shown below, a method for producing a calcium supplement beverage, the step of preparing a beverage containing calcium, the step of preparing a somatid collected from a fossil shellfish fossil, and the calcium The problem is solved in the same manner as described above by producing a calcium supplement drink through a process of mixing a somatid collected from a drink and the above-mentioned Kamionisiki shell fossil.

  Moreover, you may manufacture a calcium supplement drink including the process of replenishing calcium from the exterior further to the said drink containing calcium.

  As a result, the amount of calcium contained can be adjusted, and a larger amount of calcium can be accumulated in the bone by the action of somatid.

  Also here, the beverage containing calcium may be milk.

  Further, the somatid may be added to the milk at the time of stirring in the previous step of the milk homogenization step.

  This eliminates the need for a separate mixing device.

  Calcium can be supplied without causing a calcium paradox.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In this embodiment, “milk” will be described as an example of a beverage containing calcium, but the beverage containing calcium is not intended to be limited to milk, and all beverages are contained as long as they contain calcium. It is included.

  First, a method for collecting ancient somatids will be described with reference to FIG. 1 (flow chart).

  In step 101, fossilized Kamioniki shellfish (hereinafter referred to as shellfish fossil) that inhabited about 2000 to 25 million years ago are processed into fine particles having a particle diameter of 0.1 to 5 μm.

  Next, in step 102, it is mixed with water at a ratio of at least 5 cc to 1 g of the fine particle shell fossil.

  In step 103, the mixed liquid of the fine particles and water is held in, for example, a glass container for at least 4 hours.

  In the next step 104, the precipitate mainly composed of calcium carbonate and the supernatant liquid are separated from the mixed liquid after at least 4 hours by, for example, a filter, and put in a container in step 105, and the supernatant liquid is separated. Let the liquid be ancient somatid-containing water.

  This ancient somatid-containing water contains the primitive somatid of the primitive phase, and the water can be evaporated by, for example, heating or leaving it, but in this case, the ancient somatid has its form changed to the primitive phase by changes in the environment. There is a risk of changing to other forms other than somatid. Therefore, the ancient somatid should be retained in the ancient somatid-containing water.

  The Kamionishiki shell is a bivalve that resembles modern scallops, and ancient somatids use shellfish substrates to make shells in shell fossils that are dormant. Have been found by the present inventors.

  This ancient somatid was active in the flesh of the Kamioniki shellfish before it became a fossil. It is estimated to be.

  As described above, the meaning of making the fossil shellfish fine particles having a particle size of 0.1 to 5 μm means that if the particle size exceeds 5 μm, a plurality of somatids may expose the surface of the shell inside. Of course, some shell surfaces appear on the surface of the fine particles even at 6 μm or more, but in this case, the yield of collecting ancient somatids from the shells is greatly reduced. . When the particle size of the fine particles is 5 μm, the shell in which the somatid is dormant can be exposed to the surface of the fine particles almost certainly, so that the recovery rate is high.

  Moreover, the reason for making the shell fossil fine particles having a particle size of 0.1 μm or more is that the pulverized fine particle operation of 0.1 μ or less of the shell fossils mainly composed of calcium carbonate is very expensive, In addition, the particle size cannot be reduced unless a special apparatus is used.

  The process of holding the mixture of fine particles and water for at least the fourth order is ideally 24 hours, but if held for 4 hours, the ancient somatid of the primitive phase appears in the shell with a considerable yield. Because.

  Here, ideally, the water mixed with the fine particles is preferably negative ion water. The negative ion water may have a negative ion number of about 80000 to 150,000 in 1 cc.

  In the case of negative ion water, electrons contained in a large amount in the negative ion water serve as food for the ancient Somatid, so that the negative ion water is a good environment for the ancient Somatid. For this reason, ancient somatids easily break into shells and jump out into negative ion water.

  Further, the negative ion water is specifically prepared by bringing a fossil containing silicon as a main component called black silica into particles having a particle size of 5 to 10 μm and contacting the particles with water for at least 2 hours. It is good to form. Since the black silica fine particles emit a large amount of electrons, the water in contact with the fine particles quickly becomes negative ion water.

  The negative ion water may be formed using, for example, a commercially available alkaline ion water conditioner. However, according to the experiment of the present inventors, the negative ion water formed by the particles of black silica is the most. Gave good results.

  In addition, at least one of weak acids that are harmless to the human body, including acetic acid, dilute hydrochloric acid, citric acid, and malic acid, may be dissolved in water mixed with the fine particles of the fossil shell.

  According to the inventor's experiment, mixing these weak acid-dissolved water and shell fossil microparticles, but not as much as negative ion water with black silica, can efficiently collect ancient somatids of the primitive phase. did it.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the method for cultivating ancient somatids according to Example 2 of the present invention will be described.

  In this ancient somatid culture method, the ancient somatid-containing water formed by the above-described ancient somatid collection method is stored in the container 20 while the ancient somatid in the primitive phase is propagated in the container 20.

  Specifically, for example, in the state where the black silica particles having a particle diameter of 5 to 10 μm are placed in the filter bag 22, the filter bag 22 is placed inside the container 20 as if it is a tea bag. Contact with the ancient somatid-containing water.

  In this case, the filter bag is preferably a mesh that does not allow 5 μm particles to pass through but allows water to pass through.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a plate-like carrier 24 on which, for example, black silica particles are adhered may be disposed inside the container 20.

As described above, when particles of black silica are placed in the container 20 and ancient somatid-containing water including ancient somatides of primitive phases collected from shell fossils is placed, electrons emitted from the particles of black silica The ancient somacid of the primitive phase has proliferated, and there is no such thing as making a shell and confining it.

  Next, the milk production process will be briefly described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, as in step 401, the raw milk brought from the ranch to the factory is weighed. After weighing, the items such as appearance, temperature, components, bacteria count, antibiotics, etc. are inspected to determine whether they can be adapted as milk ingredients (step 402).

  Next, it is sent from the tank lorry through the pipe to the cleaner, and is cooled to about 5 ° C. or less and stored (step 403).

  Next, the raw milk that has passed the inspection contains invisible impurities and the like, which are continuously decomposed and removed by a powerful centrifuge, a filter, or the like (step 404).

  Next, in order to prevent the temperature of the raw milk from rising and the milk fat globules to rise, the milk is stored in the milk storage tank while being constantly stirred by the stirring device provided in the milk storage tank (step 405).

  Next, the size of milk fat globules in raw milk varies, and when stored in a quiet state, milk fat floats on the surface and a fresh cream layer is formed, so homogenization that applies strong pressure to raw milk (homogenization) Thus, a fine sphere with uniform grains is formed (step 406). By this step, so-called homogenized milk is obtained, and the digestive absorption efficiency of milk fat globules in the body is improved.

  Next, the raw milk is sterilized by heating for a short time to kill bacteria and the like, and further cooled to about 5 ° C. or less again after sterilization (step 407).

  Next, the milk that has been sterilized and stored in another milk storage tank is filled into a container such as a washed bottle and sealed (step 408).

  Milk is manufactured through such a process.

  Somatide is prepared by the method for collecting somatid as described above, while milk as a beverage containing calcium is prepared according to the above-described procedure. There are various timings for mixing (adding) somatide to milk, and it may be added at any stage of the flowchart shown in FIG. The most preferable mixing timing is that in step 405, somatide (containing water) is added at the stage where the milk is stored while stirring. By adding at this timing, it is possible to sufficiently mix without separately providing an apparatus for mixing.

  Thus, by extracting somatide and mixing (adding) to a beverage (milk) containing calcium, it can be taken orally as a beverage. In other words, it is possible to avoid the “powderiness” as in the case of ingesting (shell fossil) powder as it is. Absent.

  In addition, when it is desired to increase the amount of calcium in the beverage, milk may be produced by adding a step of adding calcium from the outside.

  Further, the somatid to be added may be added as it is in the liquid state, or the somatid may be added as a solid obtained by evaporating and drying the water once.

  In addition, the somatid (containing water) to be added may contain calcium derived from shell fossils.

  Of course, it can be widely applied to calcium supplement drinks that are drunk in hospitals, school lunches, and nursing homes as well as drinks for general healthy people.
