Prior art

At present, there is an inexhaustible number of various food supplements or instructions on the market designed to reduce body weight. Food supplements can be, for example, based on whey protein, mixtures of plant and animal proteins, based on chromium, chitosan and others. Some products are based on a high fiber content, which absorbs water and swells in the digestive system, so it induces a feeling of satiety. This includes, for example, psyllium, a fiber obtained from the seeds of Indian plantain. However, most of the prior art preparations are associated with either various adverse side effects on the body and / or the so-called yo-yo effect after discontinuation of the food supplement or after the end of the treatment. In the case of preparations with a high fiber content, eg psyllium, often all components are not completely dissolved in water, or it is necessary to use a mixer or shaker for complete dissolution.

In contrast, the product that is the subject of the technical solution is based on EFSA-approved health claims for the individual components of the product and does not suffer from any adverse effects. It is 100% soluble (in water and foods containing liquids). Its uniqueness lies in the original combination of active ingredients, where in addition to the effect on weight loss, it also helps maintain normal cholesterol and blood sugar levels, acts as an antioxidant, and supports normal digestion.

The essence of the technical solution

The present technical solution solves the above-mentioned disadvantages and is based on the effect of a combination of soluble fiber glucomannan (konjac extract) gaining up to 200x volume with a high saturating effect, cinnamon extract, vitamin C and magnesium. The product thus effectively helps with overweight and related problems.

The term glucomannan means an extract obtained from the tuber of the plant Konjac - Amorphophallus konjac, abbreviated to konjac extract. Glucomannan contains less than 1 calorie in 10 g and is classified as a soluble fiber with a high saturating effect. Therefore, it is used as part of dietary supplements to lose weight. It has an extreme ability to absorb water and therefore induces a feeling of satiety after ingestion. In the preparation according to the invention, glucomannan is present in a purity of 95%, which is significantly higher than in similar preparations which also contain konjac extract.

Cinnamon, which acts as an antioxidant and regulator of blood sugar, the phenomenon of the preparation is present in the concentrated extract min. 10: 1 and max. 30: 1. Ratio min. 10: 1 means that the extract contains at least ten times the amount of ordinary cinnamon, for example in 1 mg of extract the content of cinnamon is equal to 10 mg of ordinary cinnamon.

The product also contains vitamin C, which, in addition to its well-known positive effects, also helps in optimal energy metabolism.

Magnesium is contained in the preparation in the form of a salt such as magnesium citrate, magnesium chloride, magnesium malate, etc., and has a positive effect on metabolism and improves the utilization of oxygen in nerve cells, thereby delaying fatigue.

Another advantage of the preparation according to the technical solution is that it does not contain sugar and is thus also suitable for diabetics. In addition, it does not contain milk, eggs or gluten and is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

In particular, the technical solution relates to a powder mixture which contains 50 to 77% by weight. konjac extract with a purity of 95%, 13 to 19 wt. of concentrated cinnamon extract (min. 10: 1), 0.5 to 7 wt. of vitamin C, 0.5 to 2 wt. of magnesium and 4 to 32 wt. additives. Supplements may be selected from the group consisting of vitamins, for example vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin E; minerals, for example magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, selenium; dyes, for example beets, beta-carotene; antioxidants, for example acai berry powder, green tea, Matcha tea; natural flavorings and aromas, for example citric acid or L-leucine; probiotics, for example Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum; a sweetening agent such as sucralose. The minerals may be present in the mixture in the form of a compound, for example magnesium in the form of magnesium citrate, magnesium chloride, magnesium malate, calcium in the form of calcium citrate, calcium citrate and the like.

The powder mixture for making an instant beverage or concentrating a food can be flavored or unflavored. The mixture is filled into bags or closures for PET / glass bottles (PCO 1810) as a single dose intended for direct consumption. The weight of a single dose is usually 2 to 3 g of powder mixture without packaging, depending on the variant. The individual components are delivered to the production in a loose form of a fine powder. A homogeneous mixture of beige to pinkish color is then prepared from the individual components, which is filled into PET / AL bags, PET / AL doypacks or filling caps for PET bottles for protection against moisture and oxidation by sunlight.

To make the final beverage, the 2/3 g bag / doypack mixture is poured into a glass and poured into 250 to 300 ml of water and mixed thoroughly. The resulting beverage is intended for immediate consumption. To create a drink from the filling caps, the mixture is already part of the packaging of the bottle containing drinking water / fruit juice. Using the cap according to the instructions on it, the mixture is poured into water / fruit juice and, after thorough shaking, is intended for immediate consumption.

The powder mixture can also be used to thicken food, for example yoghurt or yoghurt drinks, etc. The mixture is poured into the food and mixed thoroughly, then it is intended for immediate consumption.
