DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described in detail.

Due to abuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory analgesics in recent years, the barrier function of the intestinal tract is vulnerable. In addition, due to overeating, overdrinking, food contamination by residual agricultural chemicals and the like, decrease of the amount of dietary fiber intake and the like, intestinal bacteria are damaged, and thus the epithelium cell of the intestinal tract, which uses fatty acid decomposed by the intestinal bacteria as a nutrition source, becomes vulnerable, and the epithelium cell of the intestinal tract is increasingly damaged by exotoxin produced by bad bacteria increasing.

As a result from those described above, undigested protein reaches antigen presentation cells in the vicinity of the intestinal tract, and immune response with respect to a food protein thereof is induced, whereby to exhibit various symptoms by inflammation caused by local or systemic antigen-antibody reaction.

For example, there are reflux esophagitis, obesity or edema, atopic dermatitis and the like. Any one of them shows specific Ig G positive examples in many cases. In the embodiment of the invention, alleviation of the symptoms or fundamental recovery is obtainable by measuring Ig G and combining administration of the supplement which decreases the intestinal environment/barrier index with removal of highly reactive food.

Immunoglobulin G (Ig G) makes up 70% or more of the antibodies of the blood plasma (IgE is present only in 0.001% or less.), and plays a role of neutralizing the antibodies, and presenting an antigen in cell-mediated immunity. The cell-mediated immunity is called type IV allergy (delayed type), and expresses allergy reaction over several hours to several days.

Ig G passes the placenta, and helps the immunity of a newborn baby after birth. In addition, the retention time in the baby is about 3 weeks.

When a cause for food allergy is considered, a food-derived protein is usually not present in the blood, and thus antibody production cannot be present. In other words, food antigen-specific Ig G is normally not present. However, undigested protein is absorbed by vulnerability of the intestinal tract barrier from disorder of the intestinal environment and the like, and indigestion, and thus Ig G against the food protein is produced, and as a result, food antigen-specific Ig G is detected in the blood.

The intestinal environment/barrier index is a scored value of specific Ig G to a food antigen inducing delayed food allergy, and “0” indicating no detection is normal, and as the index is higher, disorder of any one of the intestinal environment and the intestinal tract barrier is presumed.

In addition, with concomitant use of the ingredient (B) described below with the ingredient (A) comprising at least one of a probiotic, a biogenic and a prebiotic as described above, the invention recovers the intestinal environment and the barrier function of the intestinal tract whereby to improve allergy against a food antigen, particularly delayed type food allergy induced by Ig G.

The treatment method for improving the intestinal environment and the intestinal tract barrier pertaining to the embodiment of the invention includes: a process of measuring a value of specific Ig G to a food antigen inducing delayed food allergy of a patient of each food in a case where the patient has inflammation caused by local or systemic antigen-antibody reaction; a process of deriving an intestinal environment/barrier index that is scored Ig G value based on the measured Ig G value; and a process of performing treatment by combining removal of food with the high intestinal environment/barrier index and oral administration of a supplement which decreases the intestinal environment/barrier index.

The supplement for improving intestinal environment and intestinal tract barrier used in the treatment method is constituted by containing an ingredient obtained by mixing the ingredient (A) containing spore lactic acid bacteria as a probiotic, water-soluble dietary fiber composed of an enzymatic decomposition product of guar gum, oligosaccharide and cyclic oligosaccharide as a prebiotic, and the ingredient (B) containing L-glutamine, zinc gluconate, V. A and V. D.

The treatment is carried out by dissolving the supplement in water and then orally administrating the dissolved supplement at least once or twice per day for 1 month.

The “probiotic” is a “microorganism giving beneficial effects to a host animal by improving balance of intestinal microorganism flora”, and corresponds to lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus bifidus, natto bacteria, butyric acid bacteria and the like; the “prebiotic” is a “substance selectively acting on useful bacteria living in the intestine, and promoting proliferation thereof or elevating activity thereof whereby to advantageously act on the health of a host”, and corresponds to indigestible food ingredients such as oligosaccharide, dietary fiber and B.G.S (substance stimulating production of Lactobacillus bifidus); and the “biogenic” is a “food ingredient directly acting on regulation of a living body, defense of a living body, disease prevention, recovery, aging control and the like without intervention of intestinal flora, such as CPP (casein phosphopeptide) of a bioactive peptide, lactoferrin of multifunctional whey protein and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) that is one kind of polyunsaturated fatty acid.

In this embodiment, at least one of a probiotic, a biogenic and a prebiotic increases the number of good bacteria-called intestinal bacteria, and decreases bad bacteria-called intestinal bacteria to decrease the intestinal environment/barrier index, whereby to promote suppression of destructive fungus, production of nutrition, promotion of intestinal tract peristalsis and activation for mucous membrane defense function, which are originally performed by intestinal bacteria and improve intestinal environment.

Specifically, the suppression of destructive fungus results from inhibition to fixation of destructive fungus, lowering of pH by an organic acid (lactic acid, acetic acid), and production of an antibacterial substance (bacteriocin). In addition, the production of nutrition refers to decomposition of indigestible polysaccharides, vitamin production (V. B₅, V. H, V. K), and production of short-chain fatty acids (butyric acid) that become nutrients of the epithelium of the intestinal tract. The activation for mucous membrane defense function refers to enhancement of production of secretory IgA and type C secretin.

At least one of a probiotic, a biogenic and a prebiotic described above may be used as the ingredient (A), and the ingredient (B) that is concomitantly used with the ingredient (A) comprises at least one (one or two or more) of L-glutamine, zinc, V. A and V. D.

Herein, the zinc may include at least zinc among zinc and zinc gluconate, and the V. A may include at least V. A among V. A, pre-V. A, and derivatives of V. A, and the V. D may include at least V. D among V. D, pre-V. D and derivatives of V. D.

Furthermore, the following ingredient (C) may be added to and mixed with the ingredient (A) and the ingredient (B). The ingredient (C) comprises at least one of V. B group; calcium; magnesium; a magnesium compound; a functional nutritional ingredient comprising at least one of quercetin, lactoferrin and curcumin; protein; and amino acid.

Specifically, spore lactic acid bacteria may be used as the probiotic. In addition, the prebiotic may include at least enzymatic decomposition products of guar gum that is a water-soluble dietary fiber among enzymatic decomposition products of guar gum, isomal oligosaccharide, fructo-oligosaccharide, and cyclic oligosaccharide.

Furthermore, in the ingredient (B), the zinc may include at least zinc among zinc and zinc gluconate, the V. A may include at least V. A among V. A, pre-V. A and derivatives of V. A, and the V. D may include at least V. D among V. D, pre-V. D and derivatives of V. D.

In addition, as the ingredient (C), a protein may be used in addition to calcium; magnesium; a magnesium compound and the like described above. The calcium may include shell calcium, the magnesium compound may include magnesium oxide, the protein may include soybean peptide having low antigenicity, and the amino acid may include L methionine for improving the amino acid score of soybean peptide.

With concomitant use of at least one of zinc or a zinc compound, V. A (particularly V. A), or V. D (particularly V. D) as the ingredient (B) with the probiotic and/or prebiotic, they may perform effective regeneration and restoration of the epithelium cell of the intestinal tract because they are essential nutrients when the epithelium cell of the intestinal tract replaces the old with the new performing cell division. In addition, with concomitant use of the biogenic and the ingredient (B), regulation of the function of the intestine and suppression of rotting in the intestine can be performed.

Particularly, V. A and V. D act on an antigen presentation cell that is in the vicinity of the epithelium of the intestinal tract and carries immunity response; a helper T cell; a B cell performing antibody production, and are essential nutrients for optimal immunity response, and thus suppress induction of disadvantageous immune response such as allergy and self-antibody production from deficiency thereof.

With concomitant use of the ingredient (C), that is, V. B group, calcium, magnesium, or a compound thereof or a functional nutritional ingredient such as quercetin, lactoferrin and curcumin with any one of those described above, calcium, magnesium or a compound thereof can control the fecal properties, and quercetin or the like has anti-inflammation action. If protein or amino acid necessary for protein synthesis is added, they can reinforce effective regeneration and restoration of the epithelium cell of the intestinal tract and also add functionality.

Next, the single dose of each of the ingredient (A) and the ingredient (B) used in the treatment method pertaining to the embodiment of the invention will be described. The lower limit value for any one of them represents a number below which the effects cannot be expected. In addition, the upper limit value represents a number as a rule, over which effects do not increase despite over-intake at a time.

Single dose of the ingredient (A) is, for example, such an amount that the number of bacteria is more than 25,000,000 if the bacteria are spore lactic acid bacteria.

The amount of zinc in the ingredient (B) is preferably 10 mg to 120 mg. If the amount of zinc is more than 30 mg, copper shortage may occur due to excessive zinc, and thus copper is added in 5% or more with respect to zinc.

In a case where a main ingredient of the ingredient (B) is L-glutamine, the content of L-glutamine is 100 mg or more. The content of L-glutamine is preferably 1000 mg to 5000 mg. If the content of L-glutamine is more than 1000 mg, absorption of moisture by feces increases due to rapid improvement of colon function, and the feces become hard. As a result, constipation or intestinal blockage may be caused, and thus the seriously ill or the aged need to consider reduction of the use amount, sufficient water taking, and the like.

Furthermore, when the main ingredient of the ingredient (B) is V. A, pre-V. A, or a derivative thereof, 100 IU to 60000 IU is contained as V. A.

This is because if the content of V. A is less than 100 IU, effective restoration of the epithelium cell of the intestinal tract cannot be achieved, and if the content of V. A is less than the upper limit value, V. A overload is avoided. Meanwhile, when the content of V. A is more than 10000 IU, the amount is more than the upper limit of recommended intake during pregnancy, and attention should be paid.

When the main ingredient of the ingredient (B) is V. D, pre-V. D or a derivative thereof, 100 IU to 10000 IU is contained as V. D.

If the content of V. D is less than 100 IU, suppression for induction of disadvantageous immune response such as allergy and self-antibody production is insufficient. Meanwhile, if the content of V. D is more than 50000 IU, there may be V. D overload.

Carbohydrate is set to 4 g or more and 30 g or less.

Clinical Example 1

FIGS. 1 and 2 show changes of Ig G scores of each food shown by Japanese standard food panel before the treatment and after initiation of the treatment for 40 years old female in Clinical example 1. Herein, the Ig G score represents severity of non-immediate allergy based on the antibody amount. As to these levels (levels 0 to IV), level 0 represents normal and as the level is higher, it suggests disorder of intestinal environment and intestinal tract barrier as much. In other words, as the level of Ig G scored as the intestinal environment/barrier index is smaller, it suggests a state close to normal. Meanwhile, the subject was directed not to intake dairy products and eggs that showed level III or higher at the time of the first medical examination for 12 months.

FIG. 1 shows Ig G scores with respect to dairy products, seafood, meats and eggs before treatment, after 3 months and after 12 months, and FIG. 2 shows Ig G scores with respect to vegetables, nuts and cereals, and others, before treatment and after 12 months, respectively.

In Clinical example 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the Ig G scores for dairy products were level II or immediately below II, but after 12 months, became level 0 for all. The Ig G score for the seafood decreased slightly for abalone and oyster, but was level 0 for all others. The Ig G scores of the meats and the eggs decreased slightly for egg white and egg yolk, but were level 0 for other meats.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the intestinal environment/barrier index greatly improved to level 0 for all of each food of asparagus, bean sprouts, seaweed, tomato, soybean, buckwheat, wheat gluten, oats, peanuts, rye, sugarcane and bread making yeast, which was level II or III before the treatment, and decreased to level I or II for kidney bean and string bean, which was levels IV to VI before the treatment. The eggs show no improvement due to not stopping the intake.

Clinical Example 2

Clinical example 2 relates to atopic dermatitis developed in 30 years old male adult. FIGS. 3 and 4 show Ig G levels at the time of the first medical examination and after 6 month treatment for each food by the standard food panel. Similarly to Clinical example 1, the subject was directed not to intake dairy products and eggs that showed the intestinal environment/barrier index, the level of which is higher than level III, at the time of the first medical examination for 6 months.

As shown in FIG. 3, with respect to vegetables, the Ig G level was level III for any one of asparagus, bean sprouts and seaweed at the time of the first medical examination. However, after 6 months, the Ig G level became level II or lower. In addition, with respect to nuts and cereals, the Ig G level was level IV for soybean and whole wheat flour and level III for wheat gluten, peanuts and rye at the time of the first medical examination. However, the Ig G level decreased to nearly level 0 for any one of them. In addition, with respect to the other foods, the Ig G level was level III or IV for sugarcane, bread making yeast and brewing yeast at the time of the first medical examination, but decreased to levels I to III.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, with respect to the dairy products, the Ig G level was level IV for all, but decreased to level I or II. With respect to the fruits, the Ig G level was level I for netted melon, and level II for orange and watermelon, but became level 0 for all. With respect to the seafood, the Ig G level was level II or III for abalone, oyster and shrimp, but decreased to level 0 or I. With respect to the meats, the Ig G level was level III or IV for egg yolk and egg white, but became level 0 or I. With respect to the spices, the Ig G level was level III, but became level 0 for chili and vanilla.

The above-described supplement contains 15 g of soybean peptide every dose. The fact that the Ig G for soybean decreases to level 0 from level IV with daily intake of the supplement supports that vulnerability of the intestinal environment and the intestinal tract barrier causes food-specific Ig G allergy. This result is contrary to the case of the eggs of Clinical example 1, and reflects that dairy products and eggs have a feature of easily forming Ig G allergy than soybean.

In Clinical examples 3 and 4, although the supplement for improving intestinal environment and intestinal tract barrier pertaining to the above-described Examples contains inulin, oligosaccharide and cyclic oligosaccharide as the prebiotic, the supplement in which inulin and cyclic oligosaccharide as the prebiotic are not used and the enzymatic decomposition product of guar gum is added to oligosaccharide was used in Clinical examples 3 and 4.

In addition, practically, “9.4 g carbohydrate (mainly oligosaccharide, cyclic oligosaccharide and inulin)” in the supplement per one packet (30 g) is changed to “10.6 g carbohydrate (mainly the enzymatic decomposition product of guar gum and oligosaccharide).” Further, “14.9 g protein (mainly soybean peptide)” is changed to “15.3 g protein (mainly soybean peptide),” “192 mg sodium” is changed to “189 mg sodium,” “10 mg V. B₁” is changed to “20 mg V. B₁,” and “1500 mg KCl” is changed to “700 mg KCl.” Furthermore, pectin as the stabilizer is not used.

Clinical Example 3

FIGS. 5A, 5B, 6A, and 6B show changes of Ig G scores of each food before the treatment and after initiation of the treatment for 24 years old male in Clinical example 3. The subject was directed not to intake dairy products and eggs that showed level higher than level III at the time of the first medical examination for 12 months.

FIGS. 5A and 6A show Ig G scores with respect to dairy products, seafood, meats and eggs, fruits and spices, and FIGS. 5B and 6B show Ig G scores with respect to vegetables, nuts and cereals, and others, before treatment and after 6 months, respectively.

In Clinical example 3, as shown in FIG. 5A, the Ig G scores for dairy products and eggs were higher than level IV, but after 6 months, became almost level 0 as shown in FIG. 6A. The Ig G score for the seafood decreased slightly for abalone and oyster, but was level 0 for all others. The Ig G scores for the meats and the eggs decreased slightly for egg white and egg yolk, but were level 0 for other meats. The Ig G scores for dairy products were decreased slightly because the patient did not follow the removal instruction.

The inflammation states of the hands and arms of the patient on the day of initiation of the treatment are shown in FIG. 7. There was an itch on the inflamed area, an exudation mark occurred in the area at which the epidermis was peeled off, skin other than the inflamed area was dry, and if the skin was scratched, the skin came to look like a white powdered skin.

After 3 months, the skin was clear as shown in FIG. 8, but after 4 months, as shown in FIG. 9, inflammation or an itch partially occurred since this was considered as a result of continuously eating soft cream for 2 days. However, dryness of the skin did not occur.

After 5 months, as shown in FIG. 10, the state of the skin was slightly recovered and inflammation or an itch was decreased.

The patient did not follow the instruction for removal of the dairy products, but despite that, a certain degree of the treatment effect was obtainable.

Clinical Example 4

Clinical example 4 relates to atopic dermatitis developed in 36 years old female. FIGS. 11A, 11B, 12A, and 12B show Ig G levels at the time of the first medical examination and after 12 month treatment for each food by standard food panel. Similarly to Clinical example 1, the subject was directed not to intake dairy products and eggs that showed the intestinal environment/barrier index, the level of which is higher than level III, at the time of the first medical examination for 12 months.

As shown in FIG. 11A, with respect to dairy products, the Ig G level was level IV for all, but decreased to level III as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B. With respect to fruits, the Ig G level was level III or less. With respect to the seafood, the Ig G level was level IV for abalone and oyster, but decreased to level III. The Ig G level was level IV for egg yolk, but became level 0. With respect to the spices, the Ig G level was level IV, but became level I or III for vanilla.
