FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the food and medical industries and can be used to produce high-quality biologically active additives (BAA) that improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Dietary supplement is a phyto-collection of crushed medicinal plant material that contains seven components: hay fenugreek seeds, perforated St. John's wort grass, spotted milk thistle fruits, common oregano grass, common thyme grass, blackcurrant leaves, peppermint grass, in proportion, parts by weight 1: 1: 2: 1: 2: 1: 1, respectively. The crushed phyto-collection is packaged in filter bags, which ensures convenience in reception and storage.

Food supplements are a source of saponins, phytosterols, flavonoids, flavolignans, essential oils, vitamins (C, PP, B ₁ , B ₂ , carotene), organic acids (linoleic, palmitic, myristic), trace elements (calcium, potassium, magnesium, boron ), tannins.

The aim of the invention is to create an effective, convenient to use, with pleasant organoleptic properties of dietary supplements to food for the prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, normalization of metabolism and for diet therapy.

State of the art

Currently known collection for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (RF patent No. 2000794), containing Italian immortelle, lemon catnip, English mint and essential oil rose. However, this fee is used only in the treatment of peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, as well as in diseases of the gallbladder, but is not effective in the treatment of chronic colitis.

Known RF patent No. 2000806, the collection "Dmitry", containing in its composition St. John's wort grass, chamomile flowers, grass shepherd's purse, mint grass and licorice roots. The disadvantage of the collection is the limited raw material base of its constituent plants.

Known collection of medicinal plants used for peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, which contains plantain leaf, wormwood grass, mint grass, chamomile flowers, calendula flowers, St. John's wort grass, calamus roots, sage grass, dandelion roots, aralia roots. It contains medicinal plants of metabolic and restorative action. The main disadvantage of this collection is its multicomponent composition, which creates certain organizational and technological difficulties in production.

The result achieved when using the invention is to obtain a metered dose drug that meets the status of dietary supplement, consisting of highly effective ingredients, the combined effect of which, on the one hand, ensures the effectiveness of the prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and on the other hand, has an expanded spectrum of healing effects on the body . The technological features of the production of dietary supplements do not create difficulties in its production, and the consumer form provides the body with the perception of the entire amount of pharmacologically active substances and ease of administration and storage. These requirements correspond to the presented dietary supplement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A dietary supplement that improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract contains the following components.

1. Fenugreek hay seeds - 1 part.

2. St. John's wort perforated grass - 1 part.

3. Milk thistle fruit - 2 parts.

4. Origanum grass - 1 part.

5. Thyme ordinary grass - 2 parts.

6. Blackcurrant leaves - 1 part.

7. Peppermint herb - 1 part.

New and significant is that dietary supplement has a balanced composition, includes these components in an optimal ratio, which allows them to mutually complement and enhance the action in the complex, to have a regulatory effect on the body. It differs in that the dietary supplement contains hay fenugreek seeds, which improve metabolism. The composition of the collection is made taking into account the contribution of biologically active substances of each component for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases of various etiologies. The plant ingredients included in the dietary supplement have the following positive effects on the human body:

- fenugreek seeds containing phytosterols stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, improve metabolism, sorb toxins, have a positive effect on the digestive system;

- St. John's wort grass, due to the presence of flavonoids, has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the bile ducts and intestines, increases the outflow of bile, and also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties;

- milk thistle fruits containing the sum of flavolignans exhibit a pronounced hepatoprotective effect: they stabilize hepatocyte membranes, affect lipid metabolism, improve cell metabolism, as a result of which the mitotic activity of cells increases, the biosynthesis of proteins necessary to restore liver functions is stimulated, and hepatic pressure and pain are eliminated, dyspeptic symptoms and contribute to the restoration of appetite;

- oregano grass, due to the presence of essential oil, thymol, geranyl acetate, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, tannins, has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, sedative effects, which positively affects the general condition of the body as a whole;

- thyme herb, containing essential oil, enhances intestinal motility and tone, increases the secretion of gastric juice. Due to the presence of flavonoids, it has a choleretic, diuretic, soothing effect;

- blackcurrant leaves with a high content of ascorbic acid (0.25%) have a pronounced general strengthening effect: they increase redox processes in the body, activate a number of enzyme systems, stabilize the content of adrenaline, catecholamines, stimulate the synthesis of hormones, favorably affect carbohydrate metabolism, vascular permeability;

- Peppermint grass, due to the presence of tropsoline and phytosterols, has antispasmodic, sedative, choleretic properties, improves digestion.

It should be noted that indications for the use of blackcurrant, oregano and peppermint are partially general, due to which, when taking dietary supplements, a summation of the effects of exposure to the herbal ingredients used is achieved. At the same time, there are differences in the indications of one and the other ingredient that allow us to expand the range of preventive and healing actions of the proposed dietary supplement.

The invention is an effective prophylactic: it improves metabolism, favorably affects lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and increases redox processes in the body. This helps to prevent the development of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the overall strengthening of the body. In addition, dietary supplement has pleasant organoleptic properties.

Food supplements are obtained by mechanical mixing of pre-dried and crushed medicinal plant materials to a particle size of 1.5-2 mm, followed by packing in filter bags.

Supplements are prepared as follows: pour 200 ml of hot water into the filter bag, close the lid and insist for 15 minutes.

Take orally in a warm form after eating, 1 glass 2-3 times a day. The course is 4-6 weeks.

Supplements showed good results in metabolic disorders as a result of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Example 1. Patient T., 42 years old, complained of heaviness in the epigastric region, flatulence and irritability.

The patient was assigned a dietary supplement to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. After two weeks of using dietary supplements, the condition improved, irritability disappeared. After a month, the severity, flatulence passed, my health returned to normal.

Example 2. Patient M., 28 years old, complained of discomfort and diarrhea after antibiotic therapy.

The patient was assigned a dietary supplement to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. After three weeks of using dietary supplements, my health improved, my stool returned to normal, and my appetite appeared.

The proposed nutritional supplement expands the scope of medicinal plants and can be used in the food industry for the targeted production of new products with preventive properties.

Assessment of the organoleptic properties of dietary supplements was carried out by questionnaire-survey method. Its good organoleptic properties were noted. None of those participating in the tasting noted any unpleasant “aftertaste”.

Thus, as a result of the implementation of the proposed invention, a dietary supplement for food was obtained, which, thanks to the optimal combination of natural components, favorably affects the body, gives a pronounced pharmacological effect, has pleasant organoleptic properties.
