AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies face challenges in effectively administering therapeutic compounds in beverages, particularly in terms of taste, after-taste, and controlled release of active ingredients.
The development of utensils shaped like drinking-straws or drink-stirrers, comprising a mixture of active/therapeutic compounds and dissolvable supporting compounds, designed to release the compounds into a liquid when the utensil is placed in it. Additionally, a capsule/storage-compartment with a perforated bottom and cover is introduced, allowing fluid to pass through while retaining particles, and is designed to be placed within a drinking-straw.
This solution enables efficient and controlled administration of therapeutic compounds, minimizing taste and after-taste issues, while allowing for standardized amounts and release rates of active ingredients, particularly applicable for cannabis extracts and oils.
