DESC:Field of Invention
The present invention relates to the field of beverage composition and formulation, in particular relates to an anti-oxidant & immunity booster nutritional drink for general health and well-being formulated with an herb and natural fruit juice acting synergistically to provide a high anti-oxidant & immunity boosting benefit without any attenuating side-effects. The present invention also provides a proprietary process for making the said nutritional drink with immunity boosting properties to overcome fatigue due to oxidative stress and enabling faster recovery from infections.
Background of the Invention
In today’s world, majority of the population irrespective of age are suffering from various health issues such as low immunity, antibiotic resistance, nutritional deficiencies, increase stress level etc. Every day humans are subjected to exposure to environmental hazards like UV radiation, polluted air, water and exposure to a variety of toxins, stress, herbicides, pesticides, preservatives or additives in processed foods, unbalanced diets, obesity, which contribute to free radical accumulation and negatively affect our bodies with exacerbating signs of premature aging.
Free radicals are unstable molecules which take or scavenge electrons from other molecules. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that attack molecules by capturing the electrons and thus modifying chemical structures resulting in reducing immunity. When it takes an electron from a molecule, this second molecule becomes a free radical in return. This triggers a chain reaction where free radicals steal an electron from the nearest molecule, in turn creating a subsequent free radical. Ultimately, this cycle of free radical formation damages a living cell and results in many of the changes seen in the body. Exposure to free radicals is unavoidable in today’s fast paced world.
While the current social, environmental and industrial milieu does trigger free radical accumulation, there is much evidence to show that every system in the body can and do produce free radicals in the natural process of human physiology. For instance, Haemo metabolism has a chemical transitional component from ferric to ferrous and this produces OH ions one of the most dangerous molecules that could produce oxidative stress. During cell damage or break down of food, free radicals are generated for any morbidity.
Antioxidants are substances that reduce oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals there by reducing the stress factor. Natural antioxidants may be defined as molecules that prevent cell damage against free radicals and are critical for maintaining optimum health. Every individual requires adequate levels of antioxidant defenses in order to avoid the harmful effect of an excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to prevent damage to the immune cells. Since the Body will not have enough antioxidants to counter free radicals, they have to be supplemented to fight the menace of free radicals to stay fit and healthy for both sick and healthy person.
High antioxidant levels and low oxidative stress are associated with good health. A healthy and balanced diet loaded with strong antioxidants is the most effective way to deal. Plant-based foods are the best sources of antioxidants, which include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices are all useful sources of antioxidants.
Several researches have worked on the area of using herbs /food/drink/beverages and so on to counter oxidative stress.
US patent application 20190247325 provides Methods and compositions for reducing oxidative stress comprising administering an amount of a composition, said composition comprising an encapsulated cannabinoid compound and a terpene, thereby reducing oxidative stress in said subject, wherein said composition comprises an antioxidant.
European Patent 1740196 discloses Compositions and method for alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress in a mammal, An antioxidant-promoting composition comprising active ingredients comprising Bacopa monniera extract; Silybum marianum (milk thistle) extract, Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) powder, Camellia sinensis (green tea) extract, and Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract.
US patent US9889171B2 provides a composition for the topical application on a mammalian skin comprises one or more Brassica plant extracts selected from the group consisting of: Brassica juncea extract, Brassica oleracea italica extract, Brassica oleracea capitata extract, Brassica oleracea botrytis extract, and Brassica oleracea acephala extract. The composition further comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of: Curcuma longa extract, curcuminoids, tetrahydrocurcuminoids, metabolites of curcuminoids or tetrahydrocurcuminoids, and derivatives of curcuminoids or tetrahydrocurcuminoids. The composition further comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of: Camellia oleifera extract, Camellia sinensis extract, green tea extract and white tea extract; Wasabia japonica extract; Bacopa monnieri extract; Silybum marianum extract; and one or both of Piper nigrum extract or tetrahydropiperine.
For promoting overall health and wellness we need to have a better nutritional balance a mix of Meso, Micro & Macro ingredients in the natural forms that are much easier for body to absorb and use. Mesonutrients which are active natural compounds and antioxidants hidden within superfoods we eat. Defining Meso-nutrients in simple terms, they are the active phyto-chemical compounds found in fruits and other food forms, In Greek, meso-“middle” refers to “in between” nutrients, hence meso- nutrients can be defined as the active compounds found in super foods and are responsible for the some of the amazing health benefits. Bioactive components/ Meso-nutrients present in fruits and herbs that are implicated in degenerative disease prevention include vitamin C, ß-carotene, Flavonoids, folic acid & dietary fibres.
Research done on these active materials indicate the benefits which include a decreased risk of certain cancers, reduced inflammation, improved brain function, weight and metabolism management, decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases and immunity boosting and antioxidant activity. This protective effect results from several biochemical properties of either individual or combination of bioactive components including antioxidant activity, induction of glutathione-S-transferase, Colonic fermentation amino acid metabolism and facilitating the excretion of toxic compounds. Vitamin C, flavonoids and ß-carotene are potential antioxidants protecting against oxidation of biomolecules such as DNA, Protein and lipid membranes, thereby reducing the risk of cancers, cataract and cardiovascular diseases.
Fruit juice contain an array of potent antioxidants including Quercetin, Catechins, Anthocyanin, Coumaric acid, Gallic acid, Dihydrochalcones (phloridzin & phloretin), and vitamin C, Vitamin k in addition to other beneficial phytochemicals, such as folate. All of these are believed to be significant contributors to the preventive effects of fruits through their antioxidant & immune boosting effect.
In recent times there has been a resurgence of interest in herbs rich in Meso-nutrients that have been safely used in herbal brews and beverages.
It is clear that there is a definite need for system that provides a daily dose of meso-nutrients with anti-oxidants that is readily consumed by people for relieving oxidative stress. While traditional knowledge does provide options for anti-oxidant & immunity boosting formulations with meso-nutrients, it is well-known that they are very unpopular due to their unpalatability. Indeed, traditional formulations have never found a place in wellness science chiefly due to non-compliance. Besides, the formulations are still being investigated for modern scientific authenticity, although most countries agree that they are safe due to almost 5000 years of recorded use in human medical history.
To tackle the above challenges and to bridge the gap in the current health management, the present invention provides a ready to drink nutritional beverage supplement by using botanical ingredient, essential vitamins & minerals blended with natural fruit juice which provides immense health benefits loaded with rich nutritional value in a highly palatable drink. The beverage composition of the present invention improves immunity and maintain good health, by providing a rich Anti-oxidant and Immune Boosting properties.
