Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This composition, when ingested, improves gastrointestinal function, enhances the function of stool formation, condenses stool, and coats it with intestinal fluid, allowing it to be excreted without adhering to the anus. [Background technology]

[0002] To date, many compositions have been invented to improve intestinal function, with the aim of promoting improvement of the intestinal environment and encouraging bowel movements, but no composition has been invented that forms stool that does not stick to the anus after defecation. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] "Stomach Mold" Was the Cause of Illness (Japanese Intestines Are Full of Mold) by Uchiyama Yoko ISBN-10 4837613217, ISBN-13 978-4837613213 Non-Patent Document 1, "Stomach Mold" Was the Cause of Illness (Japanese Intestines Are Full of Mold) by Uchiyama Yoko, throughout the book, discusses the health hazards caused by stomach mold and foods that can be used to prevent mold. There is no mention of "wasabi" or "fecal adhesion," but the author noticed that using wasabi as a mold prevention measure reduced fecal adhesion, which led to the idea for the invention. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Until now, it has been considered normal for feces to adhere to the anus after defecation, but this has placed a significant burden on social life.

[0005] First of all, in the field of nursing care, the burden on caregivers is enormous, both physically and mentally, in terms of both hygiene and labor. For patients, too, the loss of mental pride and the stress of pain caused by excessive wiping can be problematic.

[0006] The problem of scattered papers in the mountains caused by mountain climbing poses a major problem in terms of how to deal with them. Also, if you are going hiking or engaging in outdoor hobbies for several days, carrying toilet paper with you is unsanitary.

[0007] Toilet paper thefts have occurred in convenience stores, department stores, and other restrooms, and it is true that there are families who cannot afford to buy toilet paper due to financial hardship. Furthermore, when an infectious disease pandemic occurs, the number of crimes increases significantly. In such cases, panic buying also becomes a serious social problem.

[0008] And the social and health problems caused by flatulence odor are less obvious but still serious.

[0009] Bullying is considered a major social issue, but the trigger for bullying can be something trivial, and it is not uncommon for a person to be the trigger for bullying and then become the target of bullying due to a flatulence. This is evident in the fact that many children pass flatus at school and hold in their bowels.

[0010] Bullying is not just a problem during the time that a person is being bullied. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 1 billion people suffering from mental illnesses worldwide, and approximately 800,000 people commit suicide each year. The aftereffects of bullying cannot be overlooked.

[0011] In a society where shame forces many people to hold in their flatulence, it is a major health problem. This is because, in social life, letting others smell your flatulence is seen as bad manners.

[0012] The true nature of this is largely due to the smell of flatus. Many people end up having to hold in their flatus for long periods of time, and are unable to talk to anyone about their physical and mental discomfort.

[0013] Gastrointestinal problems lead to disorders throughout the body, including the brain, so it is true that gastrointestinal problems can be a factor in causing various pathological conditions, and it is necessary to address excessive flatus suppression and odor complexes.

[0014] Many people are troubled by the fact that feces remain on their hands no matter how much they wipe after using a toilet. As a result, the mass consumption of toilet paper has become an environmental issue.

[0015] Currently, the world consumes 29,260,000 tons of toilet paper, or 172 billion rolls, per year, equivalent to 29.2 billion trees. The environmental and labor costs are enormous.

[0016] In over 50 countries around the world, due to the narrowness of water pipes, which can easily become clogged with paper, toilet paper cannot be flushed down the toilet and must be placed in trash cans instead, which places a heavy burden on hygiene, odors, cleaning, and disposal.

[0017] Natural disasters are a major issue in Japan, and in times of crisis, these can develop into very serious problems, such as the smell of feces and urine during evacuation, the bulkiness of paper disposal and disaster prevention kits, reluctance to share with others, and the risk of infection due to being forced to live in unsanitary conditions for several days.

[0018] Even from the perspective of "time" involved in wiping up feces, as can be seen in the queues for toilets at theme parks and commercial facilities, people unconsciously take time to wipe up feces, and no matter how short the time, sacrificing wiping up the feces poses risks to their hygienic and social lives thereafter. [Means for solving the problem]

[0019] The composition of the invention is ingested. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] By mixing wasabi with water and consuming it, feces were less likely to adhere to the anus, and the number of times that feces had to be wiped away decreased. However, if wasabi is consumed alone, the allyl isothiocyanate contained in wasabi can cause inflammation of the stomach lining, resulting in stomach pain, extremely hard stools, and insufficient excretion of intestinal fluids.

[0021] Cloves, which have an analgesic effect, are used to relieve stomach pain and also have a warming effect on the stomach and intestines, promoting digestion and increasing intestinal fluids. Cloves contain the antioxidant eugenol, which has anti-inflammatory properties and helps normalize the immune system. It also promotes cell health by inhibiting NF-kB, which causes malignant tumors to grow.

[0022] Adding cinnamon activates Tie2, a receptor that binds capillary cells together, through the action of cinnamaldehyde, preventing blood and nutrient leakage and improving blood flow, which can improve even abnormalities in the capillaries in the internal organs. It also further enhances the function and protection of the gastrointestinal tract.

[0023] By improving these internal organ functions, it is possible to reduce the frequency of wiping away stool without experiencing abdominal pain.

[0024] However, the use of wasabi, cloves, and cinnamon alone only reduced the number of times stool had to be wiped away, and the results showed inconsistent adhesion rates, with adhesion occurring on different days. By adding ginseng to this, the action of the saponin ginsenoside enhances the function of the autonomic nervous system, thereby relaxing tension in the internal organs. It also promotes the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria in the intestinal tract, and has been confirmed to have a stable effect of preventing feces from adhering to the anus at all times, regardless of dietary content, etc.

[0025] As the body's ability to excrete water increases, the stool itself becomes harder and is excreted coated with a large amount of intestinal fluid.

[0026] The above-mentioned effects normalize the function of internal organs, eliminate water from the body, detoxify the body, and also improve immune function, digestive ability, and hormone production in the intestines, all of which contribute to improving the overall health of both the body and mind.

[0027] By ingesting this invention, feces will not stick to the anus, which will enable a dramatic reduction in toilet paper use and make a significant contribution to the SDGs. From the perspective of SDG 17 goal number 6, "Clean water and sanitation," not having feces stick to the anus or toilet bowl is extremely hygienic and can help prevent infection.

[0028] There are many countries in the world that have various toilet problems, and these problems can be essentially improved and solved by improving hygiene after defecation.

[0029] It will also reduce the resources, labor, and mental and physical burden involved in wiping up feces in the nursing care field, and eliminate the scattering of toilet paper in the mountains and the burden of having to change it, thereby improving the prevention of incidents and accidents during mountain climbing.

[0030] By preventing feces from sticking to the anus, it will be possible to reduce toilet paper theft in convenience store and department store restrooms, lower the crime rate, and provide safe and secure restrooms for customers.

[0031] As individuals use paper less frequently, social problems such as hoarding will be less likely to become serious.

[0032] The feces produced after ingesting this invention are coated, so they do not soil the toilet bowl, which also reduces the burden of cleaning the toilet.

[0033] This invention will eliminate the smell of farts, which will lead to a reduction in bullying caused by the smell of farts, various problems caused by holding in farts, and health problems, bringing us one step closer to realizing a peaceful society.

[0034] By reducing the need for toilet paper during a disaster, disaster preparedness kits can be made larger and more spacious, increasing the chances of survival. It also helps with the issue of disposing of paper after use at evacuation shelters, reduces the mental burden of having to ask others for paper, and helps with hygiene and infectious disease prevention. Even with the resources provided, toilet paper requires a huge amount of space, with the average daily usage per person being 8 meters. Multiplying 8 meters by the number of people means that 1,000 evacuees would need approximately 2,500 rolls of toilet paper for one week, which is a huge area. If that area could be used for food and other purposes, more lives could be saved more safely. This invention reduces the smell of feces, making it possible to avoid stress and trouble during evacuation. The fact that there is almost no smell of feces or flatulence in a closed-in evacuation shelter is extremely important in terms of reducing stress for others, the person's own health, and avoiding trouble in extreme situations.

[0035] Not needing to spend time wiping up feces indirectly frees up time for many people, giving them more mental and time freedom in their lives, which will have an impact on various phenomena in emergencies and in places where many people gather. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0036] [Figure 1]This is feces excreted after ingesting the invention. Due to the coating effect of intestinal fluid, no adhesion to surrounding areas was observed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0037] A powdered composition made by mixing 30% to 4.5% wasabi, 40% to 60% cinnamon, and 0.01% to 1.5% cloves by volume, and adding ginseng in an amount of 50% or less of the total.

[0038] Verification of the period after vaccination when feces no longer adhere (When the powder is dissolved in water and taken orally) Table 1 JPEG2025133445000002.jpg92150 (When extracted by cold brewing for 24 hours and taken orally) Table 2 JPEG2025133445000003.jpg90141

[0039] (Verification of the blending ratio, presence or absence of feces adhesion, and abdominal pain) Table 3 JPEG2025133445000004.jpg95134 Table 4 JPEG2025133445000005.jpg54142

[0040] (Regarding Table 3) Table 3 explains the stool adhesion rate and abdominal pain. Since abdominal pain was confirmed with oral ingestion of wasabi, we observed whether the pain could be alleviated by increasing the amount of cloves and cinnamon, which have analgesic and different intestinal regulating effects. The ideal proportion is The ratio is 30% to 4.5% wasabi, 0.01% to 1.5% cloves, and 40% to 60% cinnamon. "Amount of wasabi" By using 30% to 4.5% of the total amount of wasabi, cloves, and cinnamon, it was confirmed that the effect of wasabi reduced the frequency of wiping stool, and the symptoms of abdominal pain when ingested were no longer observed.

[0041] "Amount of cloves": Cloves themselves are very pungent and can actually cause diarrhea and nausea, so they should be kept to 1.5%. The amount should be 0.01% to 1.5% of the total amount of wasabi, cloves, and cinnamon.

[0042] "Amount of cinnamon" By using 40 to 60 percent of the total amount of wasabi, cloves, and cinnamon, the intestinal regulating effect will suppress the stomach pain caused by wasabi.

[0043] When the amount of wasabi was below a ratio of 2.5, fecal adhesion was significantly increased.

[0044] When the mixture was 30% wasabi, 70% cinnamon, and no cloves were added, abdominal pain was confirmed.

[0045] Nausea was confirmed when the mixture was 30% wasabi and 70% cloves, with no cinnamon added. (Regarding Table 4)

[0046] If ginseng is added in an amount exceeding 51% of the total amount of "ginseng," fecal adhesion may begin to be observed, so it is advisable to limit the amount of ginseng to 50%.

[0047] (The main complaint reported by the subject during the experiment.) Table 5 JPEG2025133445000006.jpg111153

[0048] In all subjects, the effect of preventing feces from adhering to the anus was confirmed throughout the entire intake period.

[0049] More than half of the subjects experienced improved bowel movements and a clear weight loss effect. No changes were made to their diet. The subjects for whom the diet effect was not confirmed were originally thin.

[0050] (Observation of changes in stool before and after taking the invention.) Tactile observation confirmed that the stool surface was harder than before taking the invention, and that the amount of water in the stool was increased by intestinal fluids.

[0051] When observed by olfactory sense, the feces after ingestion had less odor than before ingestion, and the time for which the fecal odor was suppressed was very short, with the odor becoming difficult to detect within a few seconds.

[0052] When tasted, the feces after ingestion are tasteless and have a plastic-like taste, regardless of the food content.

[0053] This invention showed clear changes in stool before and after ingestion.

[0054] Similar observations were confirmed in subjects with different living environments and dietary habits. Similar observations were made whether the subjects were vegetarians or omnivores. [Example]

[0055] It is recommended to use organic ingredients, and it is recommended to use horseradish for wasabi and Changbai Mountain ginseng for ginseng.

[0056] The composition of the present invention is extracted with water, boiled, or with sake. The cold brew method was found to have the most immediate effect (Table 2).

[0057] It is preferable to use hot spring water for extraction. [Industrial Applicability]

[0058] Selling products at outdoor shops, etc. Use in nursing care settings. Providing paper and toilet supplies to countries and people with hygiene issues. Flatulence care products, etc.
