A functional tea composition having anti-stress effect

The present invention relates to a multi-veget composition with an anti-stress effect, and more particularly, St. John's wort, green tea, chamomile, Siberian Ginseng, Valerian root ), Passion flower, lavender (lavender), peppermint (peppermint), Melissa (melissa), rosemary (rosemary) and rosehip (rosehip) antistress characterized in that it contains one or more selected from the group consisting of A functional multi-flow composition having an effect.

The causes of stress and the physiological changes in the human body are diverse, but stress hormones are secreted by stimulating the pituitary-adrenal system in common, and if the stress persists, the body's function decreases, such as nervousness, headache, and indigestion. It causes symptoms, which develop into secondary diseases such as gastroduodenal ulcer, hypertension, irritable colitis, and angina pectoris. In particular, modern people who consume a lot of instant and synthetic food additives suffer from stressful gastrointestinal disorders, and also suffer from stresses such as fatigue and frequent colds due to reduced immunity.

In today's society where stress is excessively demanded, there is an urgent need for products to alleviate anxiety and tension of the mind and body, but in the hospital for psychiatric treatment such as general anxiety disorder and panic disorder caused by severe acute stress or psychological shock. There are no products that can be used to relieve stress of the general public other than drugs such as anti-anxiety agents, antidepressants, and sedatives used.

Therefore, the development of functional foods having an overall effect on stress is required for the general public. Currently, health foods and beverages with anti-stress effects have been developed and sold, but there is a demand for development of a variety of teas that have no objection to drinking, excellent palatability, and easy access to everyday life.

Thus, the present inventors have measured the anti-stress effect of natural products that are a variety of ingredients from the past, St. John's wort, green tea, chamomile, prickly pear, valerian, passion flower, lavender, peppermint, melissa, rosemary and rosehip The present invention has been found to exhibit excellent antistress effects.

An object of the present invention is to provide a functional polyclass composition having an excellent antistress effect.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description.

In order to achieve the above object, the functional tea composition having an anti-stress effect of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of St. John's wort, green tea , chamomile, primrose, Valerian, Passionflower, lavender, peppermint, Melissa, rosemary and rosehip It is characterized by containing one or more in an amount of 1 to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

The present invention can be used as a variety of raw materials, the anti-stress effect was measured against natural products that have the effect of relieving tension and anxiety of the mind and body, St. John's wort, green tea , chamomile, viburnum, valerian, Flowers, lavenders, peppermint, melissa, rosemary and rosehips are found to be excellent in antistress effects and provide functional teas containing them.

The characteristic of the component contained in the composition of this invention is as follows.

St. John's wort among the ingredients used in the present invention is a herb that has been used to stabilize the mind and to treat depression, as well as to sleep, anxiety, ulcers and gastritis, and diseases of the kidneys.

Green Tea has the effects of antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, antibacterial and deodorizing effects due to the catechin component of green tea, and the relaxation effect of L-theanin. It is a herb that is effective against stress.

Chamomile is good for calming hypo-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiparasitic medicines and cramps, and has a warming effect on people with cold symptoms. In addition, chamomile fragrance is a herb that has the effect of relieving severe mental tension, such as irritating or angry by reducing the corticosteroid hormone (ACTH) associated with stress hormone secretion.

Rosemary (rosemary) is made of tea and refreshing effect, it helps with indigestion, antibacterial action, promote blood circulation, and leaching solution is effective for headache because it is effective for inhalation.

Lavender is a herb that is effective in sedation, pain relief, headaches, and mood swings.

It is preferable that the multi-class composition which has an antistress effect which concerns on this invention contains the raw material which has the above-mentioned efficacy and effects in the quantity of 1 to 80 weight%. This is because, if the content of the raw material is less than 1% by weight, the desired antistress effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 80% by weight, there is a problem in palatability such as taste and aroma.

Functional functional tea composition of the present invention can be formulated as tea, tea bags, beverages and the like, other components than the above components can be appropriately selected and blended by those skilled in the art according to the formulation.

<Test Example 1> anti-stress effect of each raw material

In order to evaluate the anti-stress effect of each raw material, experiments were performed using rats of about 200 g body weight. Each raw material was ground and 5g was poured into 100 ml of 80 ° C. hot water, followed by extraction for 10 minutes, filtered, and lyophilized to prepare an extract. The experimental group was divided into a negative control group (not stressed group), a stressed group (fixed rat's limbs in a 20x30cm size acrylic plate for restraint stress immobilization for a fixed time), and the extract administration group of the raw material. The extract of each raw material was orally administered once a week for 1 week, 2 hours before and after stress addition, and subjected to restraint stress for 18 hours. Gastrointestinal disorders (measures of blood in the gastrointestinal mucosa), adrenal gland weights, spleen weights, and stress hormones (corticosterone) were measured as stress indicators, and the resulting stress effects were calculated according to Equation 1 below. (However, the number of individuals per group is 8, the herbal extract dose was set to 500 mg / kg).

sample Adrenal gland (mg / BW100g) Anti-stress effect (%) Spleen (mg / BW100g) Anti-stress effect (%) Hormone (㎍ / ㎗) Anti-stress effect (%) Anti-stress effect average (%) Negative Control 11.0 - 317.1 - 9.1 - - Stress group 20.8 - 154.3 - 32.0 - - St. John's Wort 16.4 44.9 199.2 27.6 23.5 37.1 36.5 Go away 16.2 46.9 168.7 8.8 25.2 29.7 28.5 green tea 16.4 44.9 180.0 15.8 23.0 39.3 34.3 Fashion Flower 15.5 54.1 169.7 9.5 25.1 30.1 31.2 Valerian 17.2 36.7 187.8 20.6 25.4 28.8 28.7 Chamomile 18.1 27.6 176.3 13.5 18.3 59.8 31.6 lavender 15.1 58.2 169.4 9.3 25.1 30.1 32.5 Peppermint 17.8 30.6 170.0 9.6 26.5 24.0 21.4 balm 15.9 50.0 160.0 3.5 25.5 28.4 27.3 Rosemary 18.7 21.4 171.2 10.4 28.2 16.6 16.1 Rose Hip 16.1 50.0 165.0 22.5 25.5 28.4 33.6 Marshmallow 20.5 - 155.1 - 30.8 1.5 - Sorell 21.3 - 159.4 2.1 29.1 2.5 1.6 Artichoke 18.7 15.2 140.5 - 33.5 - 4.1

Evaluation of the antistress effect of natural ingredients showed that the adrenal hypertrophy was significantly defended, and the spleen, which was known to be related to the immune system, was not normal, but organ contraction did not progress significantly. As can be seen from Table 1, the raw material contained in the composition of the present invention selected a natural product having an excellent anti-stress effect among various kinds of natural raw materials.

<Test Example 2> Anti-stress effect measurement at the time of mixing each raw material

After mixing each raw material, the anti-stress effect was measured in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1 and shown in Table 2.

On the other hand, as shown in Table 2, the effect of mixing two or more raw materials than the raw material alone was excellent, in particular, synergistic effects that may occur when one or more other ingredients are mixed in St. John's wort and green tea or St. John's wort and rosemary mixture. In order to confirm the possibility of synergy effect, each herbal raw material was mixed as above and the average of the antistress effect was measured as the anti-stress index of Table 1. In one case, the antistress synergy was the greatest.
