[0001] The present invention relates to a tablet structure, and particularly to a tablet structure containing curcumin nutrients.

Background Art

[0002] With the change of lifestyle, the health problems faced by modern people are becoming increasingly complex. For example, the high-pressure work stress causes physical fatigue and mental stress, and the work pattern of sitting for a long time is likely to cause physical stiffness and a decrease in activity level. On the other hand, the spread of the eating-out culture brings about an imbalance in nutrient intake, and furthermore, the decrease in metabolism accompanying the change in physical condition is added, so the problem of obesity is also becoming increasingly serious day by day.

[0003] Curcuma longa has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolism-promoting, and body vitality-maintaining effects, etc., so it contributes to the solution of the above-mentioned health problems and occupies an important position in the fields of health foods and nutritional supplements. For example, the antioxidant defense and reducing power of Curcuma longa are 1.9 times that of cocoa, 2.1 times that of cumin, and 2.4 times that of basil. Therefore, compared with other foods, the nutritional benefits obtained by ingesting Curcuma longa are significantly much higher.

[0004] However, simply ingesting Curcuma longa alone cannot guarantee that the body can obtain a sufficient amount of curcumin, and this curcumin is an important component for Curcuma longa to bring about the above-mentioned health improvement effects. Furthermore, even if Curcuma longa is concentrated and extracted to obtain a large amount of curcumin nutrients, it is necessary to consider whether the absorption efficiency of curcumin nutrients in the human body is sufficient, and thereby, sufficient curcumin nutrients must be enabled to exert their effects reliably in the human body.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a food that contains abundant curcumin nutrients and is easy for the human body to absorb, so that people can more easily ingest the daily required amount of curcumin nutrients.

Summary of the Invention

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0018] [Figure 1] This is a plan view of one embodiment of a tablet structure containing turmeric nutrients according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view of the section line II-II in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0019] Please refer to the following detailed description and drawings of the present invention for a better understanding of its features and technical content. However, the provided drawings are for reference and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] The following describes the implementation of the "tablet structure containing turmeric nutrients" according to the present invention by specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to understand the advantages and effects of the present invention based on the contents disclosed herein. The present invention can be implemented or applied by other different specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made to each detail herein, based on different viewpoints and uses, as long as they do not deviate from the concept of the present invention. It should also be noted in advance that the accompanying drawings of the present invention are for simple schematic explanation and are not drawn to actual size. The technical content of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the following embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention will not be limited by the contents disclosed.

[0021] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in this invention are synonymous with those generally understood by those skilled in the art. The materials used in each embodiment are commercially available materials or materials manufactured by the prior art unless otherwise specified. The methods or operations used in each embodiment are common methods or operations in the art unless otherwise specified.

[0022] [Embodiment] Figures 1 and 2 show a plan view and a schematic cross-sectional view, respectively, of a tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients according to the present invention. The tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients includes a core tablet 1 and an outer coating layer 2 that covers the outside of the core tablet 1. In a particular embodiment, the weight of the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients is 768 mg to 1152 mg, preferably 864 mg to 1056 mg, and most preferably 960 mg.

[0023] Tablet 1 is the main component of the active ingredients of the tablet structure Z containing curcuma nutrients. That is, when the tablet structure Z containing curcuma nutrients is taken and enters the human body, the substances released from Tablet 1 are the active ingredients that bring specific effects to the human body. The active ingredients can be divided into the main active ingredient 11 and the functional ingredient 12. In a specific embodiment, the main active ingredient 11 contained in Tablet 1 includes curcuma extract and black pepper extract. Also, in the tablet structure Z containing curcuma nutrients, the weight ratio of the curcuma extract to the black pepper extract is 95:1 to 105:1, preferably 97.5:1 to 102.5:1, and most preferably 100:1. Due to the specific proportional relationship between the curcuma extract and the black pepper extract, the absorption rate of curcumin nutrients in the human body is significantly improved, enabling curcumin nutrients to fully exert their effects in the human body and enhancing the efficiency of nutritional supplementation.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, taking the weight of the tablet structure Z containing curcuma nutrients as 960 mg, the dosage of the curcuma extract is 450 mg to 550 mg, preferably 475 mg to 525 mg, and most preferably 500 mg. In a specific embodiment, the curcuma extract includes bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin. In a specific embodiment, in the curcuma extract, the content of bisdemethoxycurcumin is 2.5% by weight to 6.5% by weight, the content of demethoxycurcumin is 15% by weight to 25% by weight, and the content of curcumin is 70% by weight to 80% by weight. Preferably, in the curcuma extract, the content of bisdemethoxycurcumin is 3.03% by weight, the content of demethoxycurcumin is 17.32% by weight, and the content of curcumin is 79.65% by weight.

[0025] Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC curcumin), demethoxycurcumin (DMC curcumin), and curcumin are the main components in the nutritional components of turmeric. They have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and are also excellent in stability. By formulating these three components in the above-mentioned percentages, a curcumin complex nutrient with high bioavailability, which can promote metabolism, assist cardiovascular health, and improve joint comfort, can be formed. Specifically, curcumin with the highest content acts as the main force in antioxidant, and demethoxycurcumin has high stability and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. Bisdemethoxycurcumin has the most stable structure among these three. In addition to its strong antioxidant ability, it has a more stable molecular structure, making it more difficult to be lost. Furthermore, the absorption rate of the turmeric nutrient formulation of curcumin combined with bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin can reach several times that of conventional turmeric.

[0026] Also, the turmeric extract of the tablet structure Z containing the turmeric nutrient of the present invention can obtain purified curcumin with a purity reaching 95% by performing extraction using the dried roots of turmeric. Furthermore, due to being a mixed curcumin nutrient formulation composed of the above-mentioned mixing ratios of bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin, compared with a single type of curcumin, the tablet structure Z containing the turmeric nutrient of the present invention can exhibit a more remarkable health regulation effect. For example, the health regulation effects when taking bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin alone are approximately 10%, 50%, and 60% respectively, but the health regulation effect when taking the combination of the above-mentioned bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin can reach 100%, having extremely excellent and outstanding performance.

[0027] In certain embodiments, the total weight of the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients is 960 mg, and the dose of the black pepper extract is 4.5 mg to 5.5 mg, preferably 4.75 mg to 5.25 mg, and more preferably 5 mg. In certain embodiments, the black pepper extract also contains piperine. Piperine is the main pungent active ingredient in peppers, and its primary function is as a bioavailability enhancer. In other words, piperine improves nutrient absorption efficiency, promotes digestion and metabolism, and can enhance the absorption of certain vitamins, minerals, and plant components by altering the permeability of the intestinal mucosa, and can also stimulate gastric juice secretion and intestinal peristalsis, thereby aiding digestion. Furthermore, piperine also possesses strong antioxidant properties, which can reduce damage to the human body caused by free radicals.

[0028] By combining turmeric extract and black pepper extract in a specific ratio, the absorption efficiency of turmeric extract can be significantly improved. For example, studies have shown that when turmeric extract and black pepper extract are taken simultaneously in a 100:1 ratio, the combination can contribute to an effect of increasing curcumin concentration in the body by more than 2000% compared to taking turmeric extract alone.

[0029] Therefore, by combining specific ratios of bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin in the turmeric extract itself, as well as specific ratios of turmeric extract and black pepper extract, the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients of this invention can provide users with a diverse and abundant supply of turmeric nutrients and significantly improve the absorption efficiency of turmeric nutrients in the human body. Furthermore, it can fully express the efficacy of turmeric nutrients and achieve objectives such as promoting metabolism, improving vitality and mental strength, and improving overall health.

[0030] Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the functional component 12 in the uncoated tablet 1 contains a vitamin B complex and a vitamin E component. Specifically, in certain embodiments, the vitamin B complex includes vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6, vitamin B9 (folic acid), and vitamin B12. In certain embodiments, with a total weight of 960 mg of the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients, the dose of vitamin B1 is 0.35 mg to 0.45 mg, the dose of vitamin B2 is 0.45 mg to 0.55 mg, the dose of vitamin B5 is 1.45 mg to 1.55 mg, the dose of vitamin B6 is 0.45 mg to 0.55 mg, the dose of vitamin B9 is 110 μg to 130 μg, and the dose of vitamin B12 is between 0.65 μg and 0.75 μg.

[0031] Vitamin B complex has the effect of promoting metabolism and regulating physiological functions, and can help strengthen physical strength and improve mental state. In addition, vitamin E has antioxidant properties, suppresses the generation of free radicals, and can promote the health of skin and blood cells. Therefore, the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients of this invention, which is based on a combination of turmeric extract and black pepper extract and further fortified with vitamin B complex and vitamin E, can have a comprehensive antioxidant effect and exhibit a more outstanding effect in regulating physiological functions.

[0032] Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the uncoated tablet 1 may further contain excipients, such as microcrystalline α-cellulose (used as a binder to bind the main active ingredient 11 and the functional ingredient 12 and facilitate tablet formation), magnesium stearate (to reduce friction during tablet formation or compression), and silicon dioxide (used as a fluidizing agent to improve the fluidity of the powder in the main active ingredient 11 and the functional ingredient 12, ensuring that the powder components are reliably and uniformly distributed within the uncoated tablet 1).

[0033] The main active ingredients 11, functional ingredients 12, and excipients described above can be prepared in any suitable form, such as solid particles, powder, liquid, or paste, and by uniformly mixing them while molding and drying, a solid tablet 1 having a specific three-dimensional shape can be formed.

[0034] The outer coating layer 2 covers the outside of the uncoated tablet 1 and is formed by spray coating the uncoated tablet 1 with a film coating material (e.g., an aqueous film coating material containing polyvinyl alcohol, talc powder, fatty acid glycerol ester, sodium lauryl sulfate, etc.) and drying it. In certain embodiments, the outer coating layer 2 completely covers the outside of the uncoated tablet 1. The outer coating layer 2 helps maintain the molded shape of the uncoated tablet 1 and prevents it from being damaged during transport. The outer coating layer 2 can also impart a smooth surface to the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients. This prevents excessive friction of the tablet against the throat of the user, reduces discomfort when swallowing, and prevents the uncoated tablet 1 from breaking down and releasing in the oral cavity, thus preventing an unpleasant taste. Furthermore, the film coating material of the outer coating layer 2 can be selected so that the uncoated tablet 1 is broken down at a specific organ site (e.g., the intestines), so that the breakdown and digestion of the uncoated tablet 1 begins when it reaches an organ with superior absorption efficiency, releasing its internal components.

[0035] Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients may have a three-dimensional shape other than the elliptical cylinder shape shown in Figure 1, such as a cylindrical, rod-shaped, or prismatic shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0036] When taken, if two tablets of the tablet structure Z containing turmeric nutrients of this invention are used as one supplement unit per day, the user can ingest up to 1000 mg of turmeric nutrients per day, easily achieving sufficient curcumin supplementation.

[0037] [Advantageous effects of the embodiment] Overall, the tablet structure containing turmeric nutrients according to the present invention has the technical characteristic that "the plain tablet contains turmeric extract and black pepper extract, and the weight ratio of the turmeric extract to the black pepper extract is in the range of 95:1 to 105:1," thereby providing a tablet structure that is rich in curcumin nutrients and has high absorption efficiency.

[0038] Compared to conventional turmeric nutritional supplements, the tablet structure containing turmeric nutrients of this invention is rich in high-purity and high-concentration turmeric extract, as well as black pepper extract, which can improve the utilization rate of turmeric nutrients in the human body. As a result, by taking the tablet structure of this invention, users can easily obtain the necessary curcumin nutrients, and it is possible to improve the physical condition of users by helping to regulate their physiological functions, improve metabolism, vitality and mental state.

[0039] The information disclosed above represents only preferred and feasible embodiments of the present invention, and the claims of the present invention are not limited thereto. Therefore, all equivalent technical modifications made using the description and drawings of the present invention are included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
