Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a food composition and pharmaceutical composition, particularly to a food composition and pharmaceutical composition with strains of lactic acid bacteria for reducing blood uric acid concentration.2. Description of the Prior Art[0002]As the dietary habit of people has been significantly changed by fast social development and prosperous economic growth, hyperuricemia is more and more popularized in China, Japan and Taiwan. The patients of hyperuricemia are likely to suffer from gout, which results from the inflammation induced by urate crystal and brings about serious aching in the joints of limbs. Hyperuricemia may also cause kidney diseases, urinary tract calculi, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Further, hyperuricemia is also regarded as a risk factor for arteriosclerosis. Therefore, the medical field pays much attention to the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]The present invention provides a food composition and pharmaceutical composition with strains of lactic acid bacteria for reducing blood uric acid concentration, which can prevent from and / or treat hyperuricemia.

Problems solved by technology

The patients of hyperuricemia are likely to suffer from gout, which results from the inflammation induced by urate crystal and brings about serious aching in the joints of limbs.

Further, hyperuricemia is also regarded as a risk factor for arteriosclerosis.

If the human body generates too much uric acid or the kidneys do not function well, the concentration of uric acid will be too high in blood.

However, they are likely to disturb the functions of the stomach and intestines, the central nervous system, the liver, the kidneys, the hematopoiesis, etc.

However, the patients have to compromise the quality of life to take these drugs for a lifetime.

However, the data published by the company only proves that Lactobacillus reuteri has the effect of relaxing discomfort of patients and the effect of anti-inflammation.
