Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a diet supplement containing garcinia cambogia extract and Gymnema sylvestre extract as main components and useful for promoting improvement of obesity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The basis for improving obesity is to reduce calories ingested from food and to increase energy consumption due to exercise and the like. Various low-calorie meal replacements have been developed to help reduce calories.
It is marketed as a diet food. However, general dietary foods are difficult to continue ingesting due to their palatability and the like, and in many cases do not reach the expected improvement in obesity. Therefore, diet supplements have been developed that suppress caloric absorption by drinking a small amount before meals and can improve obesity even if an average amount of meal is consumed.

Gymnema sylvestre extract has been known as a main component of such diet supplements. This Gymnema sylvestre extract is extracted from Gymnema leaves of plants, and Gymnema acid contained when taken orally has the action of suppressing intestinal absorption of monosaccharides. As a method for obtaining Gymnema sylvestre extract from Gymnema leaves, for example, a method of extracting dried Gymnema leaves with hydrous ethanol, followed by solid-liquid separation and concentration under reduced pressure (JP-A-62-246591), the same extraction is performed. A method of concentrating a liquid with a reverse osmosis membrane (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-215727) and the like are known. Further, a low-calorie food or drink obtained by adding pullulan to the Gymnema sylvestre extract thus obtained is also proposed. (Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-8188)

Garcinia cambogia extract is known to be similar to Gymnema sylvestre extract. It is extracted from the skin of a plant called Garcinia cambogia, which is native to India and contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA). When taken orally, HCA has an action of suppressing the synthesis of fat from excess sugar in the liver, and is further said to have a body fat decomposition promoting effect and an appetite suppressing effect. Further, a diet supplement containing a combination of Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract is also known, and is expected to have the effects of each of the above components.

[0005]

However, the present inventor tested the effect of improving obesity by the diet supplement containing the above-mentioned Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract, but the result was not as expected. It was The cause is not clear, but the cause of obesity is not so simple because it is related to the balance of caloric intake and energy consumption, as well as basal metabolism, metabolism, body water content, and psychological effects. It is estimated that there is a cause. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to improve a diet supplement containing a combination of Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract to have a higher effect of improving obesity.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The dietary supplement of the present invention, which has solved the above problems, contains Garcinia cambogia extract and Gymnema sylvestre extract as main components, and salmon shirako extract, RNA-enriched yeast extract and parsley powder as auxiliary substances. It can be obtained by using a raw material as a component, adding magnetically treated ethanol to it, and performing wet granulation. The dietary supplement of the present invention thus obtained has a significant obesity-improving effect as demonstrated by the examples described below, and a conventional dietary supplement using Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract in combination. A significant effect of improving obesity was obtained even in subjects who did not have sufficient effects with food.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the dietary supplement of the present invention will be described. As Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract, which are the main components, those similar to those conventionally used in this field can be used. It should be noted that these extracts are not limited to those extracted and concentrated as described above, but leaf powder of the previous stage or an extract before concentration can also be used. The content ratio of Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract is 1 to 5: 5 as the ratio of extract.
1 is preferably about 1: 2. Salmon Shirako extract can be obtained by repeatedly washing salmon Shirako with water and ethanol and drying it. This extract contains protamine, which is a sperm protein in addition to salmon roe deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and has an effect of enhancing systemic metabolism by ingestion and consequently enhancing basal metabolism. Therefore, energy consumption due to the enhancement of basal metabolism is increased without particularly exercising, which greatly contributes to the improvement of obesity. The amount of salmon Shirako extract added is 1 to 50%, preferably 6 to 30%, based on the total weight of the main components.

The RNA-enriched yeast extract is a yeast extract that is purified so as to contain ribonucleic acid (RNA) by 50% or more by subjecting brewer's yeast, edible torula yeast, etc. as raw materials to concentrated saline extraction and ethanol precipitation. is there. This yeast extract, like the salmon Shirako extract, has the effect of enhancing the metabolism of the whole body by ingesting it, and since it increases energy consumption without particularly exercising,
It greatly contributes to the improvement of obesity. The amount of the RNA-enriched yeast extract added is 1 to 50%, preferably 6 to 30%, based on the total weight of the main components. Parsley powder is a powdered product of parsley, which is a flavored vegetable, and contains essential oils and other active ingredients, and is known to have a diuretic effect and a blood increasing effect. Generally, if the intracellular water is not reduced when the obese person loses weight, weight loss may be slower than expected, so weight loss efforts may be abandoned midway.However, the addition of parsley powder may reduce such weight loss motivation. The drop can be effectively prevented. The amount of parsley powder added is 1 to 50%, preferably 6 to 30%, based on the total weight of the main components.

Next, a method for producing a dietary supplement food using the above main raw material and other auxiliary raw materials will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a process for producing the dietary supplement of the present invention. First, Gymnema sylvestre extract and Garcinia cambogia extract, which are main ingredients, and salmon shirako extract, RNA-enriched yeast extract, and parsley, which are auxiliary ingredients. The powder is weighed by a predetermined amount in the weighing and mixing device 1 and mixed by stirring. Next, the mixture is mixed with ethanol such as pure ethanol or edible modified ethanol in the wet granulator 2 to perform wet granulation. Next, the granulated product is dried by the drying device 4 and further tableted by the tableting device 5.

The ethanol is magnetically processed in the magnetic processing device 3 before being supplied to the wet granulation device 2. Then, the ethanols function as an auxiliary agent when the raw materials are wet-mixed and granulated. In addition, it has been performed for some time to attempt to improve the taste by magnetically treating the treated water in the food manufacturing process, but an example used in the manufacturing process of the supplement food mainly for the purpose of enhancing the diet effect as in the present invention. There is no. As the magnetic processing device 3, for example, a magnetic cup commercially available from Soken Co., Ltd., or a device having a trade name of magnetized water life life water can be used. In this apparatus, a magnetism generator is provided around a container that holds the liquid to be treated stationary, and a magnetic flux is applied to the liquid to be treated in the container for a predetermined time for magnetic treatment.

In an experiment in which ethanol without magnetic treatment was added to the above raw material, wet granulation, drying and tableting, the number of bacteria in the tablet was reduced by about an order of magnitude from the number of bacteria in the raw material. When the magnetic treatment apparatus 3 was used and magnetic treatment was performed by applying a magnetic field of 270 Gauss for 12 hours, the number of bacteria in the tablet was reduced by two orders of magnitude compared to the number of bacteria in the raw material. Was given. Also, when such magnetically treated ethanol is used, the raw material odor and ethanol odor remaining in the product are reduced and the taste of the product is slightly improved compared to the case without magnetic treatment. The result of doing is obtained. Furthermore, it has been found that the deterioration and discoloration of the product are reduced, and the reduction of vitamins is less than that without magnetic treatment, which contributes to the stability of the product.

[0012]

Next, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. (1) Production of dietary supplements By the process shown in FIG. 1, a predetermined amount of Garcinia cambogia extract and Gymnema sylvesta extract as main ingredients, salmon shirako extract, RNA-enriched yeast extract and parsley powder as auxiliary ingredients were weighed and mixed. 10 parts by weight of pure ethanol magnetically treated with a magnetic field of 270 gauss for 12 hours was added to 100 parts by weight of the raw material of No. 1 to wet granulate, followed by drying
Tablets were made into tablets. The tablet was 300 mg per grain, and the components per 4 grains were as follows. Garcinia cambogia extract powder (containing 50% HCA): 500 mg Gymnema sylvestre extract (750 mg dry leaf equivalent): 250 mg Salmon Shiroko extract (30% salmon Shiroko DNA product): 50 mg Torula yeast extract (50% RNA product): 50 mg Parsley powder: 120 mg

The number of general bacteria in the raw material before granulation is 1.2 × 1
It was about 0 ⁴ / g, but the number of general bacteria in the tablet was 30
The number was reduced to about 0 / g. As a result of conducting an experiment in the same manner as in the above example except that pure ethanol which was not magnetically treated was used for comparison, the number of general bacteria in the tablet was about 1.8 × 10 ³ cells / g. Also, the smell and taste were milder when the magnetic treatment was performed. According to additional experiments, when ethanol was magnetically treated,
The ethanol does not enhance the bactericidal effect by itself, but the magnetically treated ethanol contains Garcia-Cambodia extract and Gymnema sylvesta extract as the main components, and salmon Shirako extract, RNA-enriched yeast extract and parsley powder as the auxiliary components. It was found that the bactericidal effect was enhanced only by adding it to the raw material and performing wet granulation. The reason for this is not clear, but it can be presumed that the magnetically treated ethanol has the effect of strongly eliciting the bactericidal action which is present in any one or more of these components.

(2) Clinical Example (Comparative Example) First, for comparison, the above-mentioned auxiliary materials were not used, but Garcinia cambogia extract and Gymnema
A clinical test was conducted using a diet food produced using only sylvester extract and pure ethanol without magnetic treatment. Each tablet produced is 300m
The composition per 4 grains is 500 mg of Garcinia cambogia extract powder (containing 50% of HCA), and Gymnema sylvesta extract (three times the concentration of dried leaves) is 25 g.
0 mg. Subjects took 4 tablets of this tablet every 3 meals before measuring the weight loss effect after 2 months. As shown in Table 1, the average weight loss was 2.6 kg in 2 months.
Thus, while some subjects were able to obtain a remarkable weight-loss effect, about 30% of subjects were judged to be almost ineffective.

[0015]

[Table 1]

(3) Clinical Example (Example) Next, the same experiment as in the above Comparative Example was conducted using the dietary supplement of the present invention produced as described above. In addition, 5 subjects who were judged to be almost ineffective in the above-mentioned comparative example were selected as subjects, and the experiment was started after one month passed from the previous experiment.
Table 2 shows the results of measuring the weight loss effect after 45 days by allowing the test subjects to ingest 4 tablets every 3 meals. As can be seen from this, an extremely excellent weight loss effect was obtained despite the shorter test period than the comparative example. In addition, the odor and taste of the product became mild, and the acceptability of the test subject was increased.
