The present invention relates generally to metabolic increasing materials, more specifically but not by way of limitation a composition for increasing alcohol metabolism wherein the present invention is provided in a food substance and a drink formula both containing the composition of the present invention.
Alcohol consumption in the United States as well as other countries has steadily increasing year by year. During the recent pandemic, alcohol sales reached record levels. About sixty six million adult drinkers consume about nine liters of pure alcohol per person of the drinking population annually. Excessive consumption of alcohol is known to cause alcoholic disorders accompanied by a decrease in glutathione in the liver and an increase in lipid peroxidation. It is desirable to reduce alcohol intake so as to reduce the negative health consequences thereof. However, moderate drinking may have some benefits in areas such as dissipating stress and making life enjoyable. Complete elimination of drinking is not always easy as changing routine drinking habits can be difficult. Studies have been conducted on compositions that promote alcohol metabolism for the purpose of avoiding hangovers such as hangovers and reducing the effects on the liver. For example, γ-aminobutyric acid and sesamin have been shown to increase the rate of alcohol metabolism. However, it is difficult to say that these alcohol metabolism promoters have a sufficient effect. An exploration of utilizing orthosilicates in combination or alone with vitamins and minerals may have an increased desired effect of improving the metabolism of alcohol. It has been found that and vitamins and minerals including the B vitamins—B1 (Thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 and B12 (Cobalamin), vitamin E, Resveratrol, turmeric, Vitamin C, garlic, Calcium, wheat grass, and theanine has various effects such as suppression of anxiety induction, suppression of premenstrual syndrome and improvement of mental concentration. In addition, and vitamins and minerals including the B vitamins—B1 (Thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 and B12 (Cobalamin), vitamin E, Resveratrol, turmeric, Vitamin C, garlic, Calcium, wheat grass, and theanine has been reported to have an inhibitory action on acetoaldehyde toxicity. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a composition for promoting alcohol metabolism containing various forms of orthosilicates and vitamins and minerals including the B vitamins—B1 (Thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 and B12 (Cobalamin), vitamin E, Resveratrol, turmeric, Vitamin C, garlic, Calcium, wheat grass, and theanine, and a food and drink containing the composition.
The alcohol metabolism promoting composition of the present invention alleviates or reduces disorders, such as but not limited to hangover or alcoholic liver injury caused by ingestion of various alcoholic beverages. It can be used spontaneously or on a daily basis for the purpose of improvement. The alcohol metabolism promoting effect of the composition of the present invention is brought about by a decrease in blood alcohol concentration. Through ingestion of the composition of the present invention before, during, or after intake of an alcoholic beverage, the blood alcohol concentration based on the absorption of alcohol in the beverage into the body is reduced more quickly. As such, it is possible to alleviate or improve the disorder caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The composition of the present invention can provided such that it is combined with a food or liquid. Examples of such foods and drinks include, but are not particularly limited to, solid foods such as dry foods containing orthosilicates and vitamins and minerals including the B vitamins—B1 (Thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 and B12 (Cobalamin), vitamin E, Resveratrol, turmeric, Vitamin C, garlic, Calcium, wheat grass, and theanine, supplements, and liquid foods such as soft drinks or mineral water. Examples of solid foods include but are not limited to pasty products, processed soybean products, mousses, jellies, yogurt, frozen desserts, candy, chocolate, gum, crackers, biscuits, cookies, cakes, breads, and others. Liquids in which the composition can be provided in include but are not limited to teas, fruit and vegetable juice, carbonated drinks and milk.

The alcohol metabolism promoting effect of the composition of the present invention is brought about by a decrease in blood alcohol concentration. That is, by taking the composition of the present invention before, during, or after ingesting an alcoholic beverage, the blood alcohol concentration based on the absorption of alcohol in the beverage into the body is reduced more quickly. Therefore, it is possible to alleviate or improve the disorder caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Within the scope of the present invention is a process to form and subsequently provide nano-capsules of some of the ingredients that are subsequently incorporated into various embodiments of the present invention. The process consists of packing nanoparticles of the desired nutrients such as vitamins, zeolites and other ingredients listed herein into a secondary shell to form nano-capsules. The small droplets required for nano-encapsulation, which is typically less than one hundred nanometers do not scatter light as do larger encapsulated materials. As such the nano-encapsulated materials are optically clear. The aforementioned clear emulsion enables the delivery of lipophilic flavors and bioactive compounds in otherwise color sensitive systems. Employing this method increases the functionality of the products and is further a characteristic particularly in demand by consumers. By encapsulating nutrients, it is ensured the product delivers those nutrients more effectively and further enhances the nutritional robustness of the product. Utilizing nano-encapsulation for vitamins, bioactive and other components of the present invention offers the aforementioned advantages over traditional processes. Nano-encapsulation increases bioavailability as well as shelf life. Vitamins are sensitive to degradation from conditions such as heat, light, oxygen and moisture, which is why the nano-encapsulation process incorporation of the present invention provides distinct advantages. The process prevents the deterioration of vitamins and other components and is further utilized for targeted delivery of some of the components of the present invention into the human intestinal system. In summary the nano-encapsulation process incorporates coating or trapping the vitamin or other component in another compound in the formula. Next a protective barrier is created which is operable to protects bioactive components. Ensuing creation of the protective barrier the vitamin or other component are incorporated into the final embodiment of the present invention utilizing suitable techniques.
In the preceding detailed description, reference has been made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments, and certain variants thereof, have been described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It is to be understood that other suitable embodiments may be utilized and that logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The description may omit certain information known to those skilled in the art. The preceding detailed description is, therefore, not intended to be limited to the specific forms set forth herein, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, as can be reasonably included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
This nonprovisional application claims priority based upon the following prior United States Provisional Patent Application entitled: Alcohol Metabolism Accelerating Composition, Application No.: 63/087,420 filed Oct. 5, 2020, in the name of Christina Cook, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes.
