Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nutritional food technology, and in particular relates to a product combination formula that helps enhance immunity, as well as its preparation and consumption method. Background Technology

[0002] Immunity is the body's own defense mechanism, its ability to resist external invasions and maintain the stability of the internal environment. When the body's immune function is imbalanced, it becomes more susceptible to infections, such as recurrent colds, pneumonia, and diarrhea, and is also more prone to serious diseases like cancer. Age, physical condition, and lifestyle habits are three factors that affect immunity. In addition, seasonal changes, nutritional imbalances, irregular lifestyles, overwork, and stress can all affect the function of the immune system. According to reports, the body's immune function begins to decline around the age of 30. Coupled with the fast pace of modern life, irregular lifestyles, the pressure of work and study environments, and lack of exercise, the number of people with low immunity is increasing year by year. Therefore, how to scientifically and effectively improve the immunity of people with low immunity has become a hot topic in modern medical research.

[0003] The quality of immunity-boosting products on the market varies greatly. Product homogenization is a significant issue, with formulas often being simplistic and emphasizing the health benefits of a single ingredient, resulting in a lack of distinct advantages. Traditional protein powders often lack the synergistic effect of dietary fiber and immune-regulating components. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a product combination formula that helps to enhance immunity, as well as its preparation and consumption method, to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the combination consists of Polygonatum sibiricum high-fiber protein powder and Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder. The daily consumption amount of each component in the combination formula is: 25 parts by weight of Polygonatum sibiricum high-fiber protein powder and 25 parts by weight of Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder.

[0006] The daily intake of the combined formula is as follows: 25g of Polygonatum odoratum high-fiber protein powder and 25g of Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder.

[0007] The Polygonatum high-fiber protein powder is composed of 75-93% soybean protein, 5-20% oat flour, and 0.5-5% Polygonatum extract by weight.

[0008] The Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder is composed of 70-92% soybean protein, 5-20% oat flour, and 3-10% Ganoderma lucidum powder by weight.

[0009] The soy protein mentioned is textured soy protein, which is made from carefully selected high-quality, high-protein soybeans or black soybeans through processes such as fat reduction and extrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, the main raw material of the Polygonatum high-fiber protein powder, soybean protein, is processed from high-quality, high-protein soybeans; it is rich in dietary fiber, high protein, and various trace elements.

[0011] The main ingredient of the Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder is soybean protein, which is made from carefully selected high-quality black soybeans; it is rich in dietary fiber, high in protein, and contains a variety of trace elements.

[0012] Preferably, the Polygonatum high-fiber protein powder contains the following raw materials by weight: 90% soybean protein, 8% oat flour, and 2% Polygonatum extract.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the raw materials of the Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder are, by weight: 88% soybean protein, 7% oat flour, and 5% Ganoderma lucidum powder.

[0014] This invention provides a product combination formulation and its preparation method that helps enhance immunity, comprising the following preparation steps:

[0015] S1: Grind the soybean protein in the specified amount into the first fine powder using a grinder;

[0016] S2: Weigh and mix oat flour, Polygonatum extract or Ganoderma lucidum powder according to the specified ratio, and then pulverize to obtain the second micro powder;

[0017] S3: The first micro powder obtained in step S1 and the second micro powder obtained in step S2 are mixed together.

[0018] In step S1, the particle size of the first micro powder is ≤90μm; in step S2, the particle size of the second micro powder is ≤125μm.

[0019] The main components of the formula of this invention are: protein, dietary fiber, trace elements, oats, polygonatum, and ganoderma.

[0020] Protein is one of the essential physiological foundations for maintaining good immunity. Various immune cells in the human body are composed of proteins, and immune molecules such as antibodies, cytokines, lysozyme, and C-reactive protein are also essentially proteins. When the body defends against the invasion of harmful substances such as foreign microorganisms, components of the immune system are activated and consumed in large quantities. If these components are not replenished in time, the body's anti-infection immunity and the internal regulatory capacity of the immune system will decline, leading to a worsening of the infection.

[0021] Dietary fiber is recognized by nutritionists as the seventh essential nutrient. It provides ample food for beneficial bacteria in the gut, thus maintaining the gut microbiota and helping to improve the body's immunity. Dietary fiber has a synergistic effect with protein; it improves digestive function and aids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients such as protein. Furthermore, fiber adsorbs bile acids, promoting the excretion of protein metabolites.

[0022] Trace elements play a vital role in maintaining the body's immune function. This invention's product contains various elements such as zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E.

[0023] Oats are rich in dietary fiber, especially beta-glucan, which promotes the proliferation of immune cells, thereby enhancing the body's ability to fight infection. At the same time, beta-glucan can also regulate the balance of gut microbiota, promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria, and improve the gut microecological environment. The gut is the largest immune organ in the human body, with approximately 70% of immune cells concentrated there. A healthy gut microbiota helps enhance intestinal immunity, thereby improving overall immune function.

[0024] Polygonatum is a traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen and is also a food with medicinal properties. Polygonatum polysaccharides can stimulate the body to produce immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells, thereby enhancing the body's immune response. Polygonatum polysaccharides can also activate the complement system, promote the clearance of immune complexes, reduce inflammation, and maintain the stability of the internal environment.

[0025] Reishi mushroom is a precious medicinal herb that strengthens the body's resistance and nourishes the body's foundation. It is rich in various nutrients, among which polysaccharides are one of the most important immunomodulatory components, capable of activating and enhancing the function of immune cells. Polypeptides, on the other hand, have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, regulating the balance of the immune system, reducing inflammatory responses, and playing a vital role in the health of the immune system.

[0026] On the other hand, this invention also provides a method of consuming a product combination formula that helps enhance immunity. Following traditional Chinese medicine and based on the theory of meridian flow, it is taken at appropriate times. During the Chen hour (7:00-9:00), the stomach meridian is at its peak, making digestion and absorption easier. During the You hour (17:00-19:00), the kidney meridian is at its peak, the best time of day for storing Yang energy and the optimal time to tonify the kidneys. According to the *Compendium of Materia Medica*, beans come in five colors, each nourishing one of the five internal organs: mung beans benefit the liver, red beans nourish the heart, soybeans strengthen the spleen, white kidney beans moisten the lungs, and black beans tonify the kidneys. In this invention, the main ingredient of the Huangjing high-fiber protein powder is soybean protein processed from soybeans, with the addition of Huangjing (Polygonatum sibiricum), a traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen and stomach (the foundation of acquired constitution); the main ingredient of the Lingzhi high-fiber protein powder is soybean protein processed from black beans, with the addition of Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum), a tonic for strengthening the body and nourishing the kidneys (the foundation of innate constitution).

[0027] Polygonatum High-Fiber Protein Powder: Primarily designed for "morning energy replenishment." Polygonatum is neutral in nature and sweet in taste; ingestion in the morning can boost Yang energy. In the morning: After a night of metabolism, the body urgently needs energy replenishment. The Qi-tonifying components of Polygonatum can quickly boost energy, and combined with high-fiber protein, it awakens the intestines, laying the foundation for the day's activities.

[0028] Reishi High-Fiber Protein Powder: Focusing on "Nighttime Repair and Calming." Reishi is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, and taking it at night aligns with the body's circadian rhythm. At night: the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system decreases, and the calming components of reishi help relax the mind and body. Combined with high-fiber protein powder made primarily from black beans, it enhances the nourishment of kidney essence; at the same time, it improves the efficiency of DNA damage repair during the nighttime cell repair period (22:00-2:00).

[0029] In summary, the present invention also provides a method of consuming a product combination formula that helps enhance immunity, with the following steps:

[0030] Consume 25g of Polygonatum sibiricum high-fiber protein powder between 7:00 and 9:00 AM.

[0031] Time: 17:00-19:00, consume 25g of Ganoderma lucidum high-fiber protein powder.

[0032] This invention provides a product combination formula that helps enhance immunity, as well as its preparation and consumption method. It has the following beneficial effects.

[0033] This invention's product is rich in dietary fiber, high-protein content, and trace elements, among other nutrients. Protein aids in cell repair and immune system regulation; the high dietary fiber content helps slow sugar absorption and regulate intestinal function. Simultaneously, protein and dietary fiber synergistically enhance immunity. Dietary fiber improves digestive function, aiding in the digestion and absorption of nutrients such as protein. Furthermore, fiber adsorbs bile acids, promoting the excretion of protein metabolites.

[0034] This invention's product formula is based on "high protein + high dietary fiber," with added oat flour and medicinal and edible herbs such as Polygonatum and Ganoderma lucidum. It regulates the immune system at multiple targets, working synergistically to enhance efficacy. Furthermore, by incorporating the theory of meridian flow, it allows for timely administration to improve therapeutic effects.

[0035] This invention produces a sodium-free product containing no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, making it suitable for various consumer groups. It is a highly effective and safe functional food that helps boost immunity. Its preparation process is simple and easy, the raw materials are readily available, and it is suitable for large-scale industrial production. Detailed Implementation
