Enhanced Bioactive Extract Composition with Synergistic Immune-Boosting and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
An improved bioactive extract composition with enhanced immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, achieved through strategic combinations of fungal extract components, natural antioxidants, probiotic microorganisms, and fruit extracts.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed a composition including fungal extract components from medicinal fungal species, but it had limitations in terms of bioavailability and synergistic effects. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing natural antioxidants, probiotic microorganisms, and fruit extracts to create a more potent and effective bioactive extract composition.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The new inventive concept involves combining fungal extract components from medicinal fungal species with natural antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, to provide a synergistic immune-boosting effect. Additionally, the composition can be fermented with probiotic microorganisms to increase the bioavailability of the fungal extract components. The composition can also be mixed with fruit extracts, such as Kakadu plum, Acai berry, and Goji berry, to enhance its nutritional value. Furthermore, the system for producing the bioactive extract composition can be optimized with a temperature control system to promote the growth of the medicinal fungal species.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new claims introduce novel combinations of fungal extract components, natural antioxidants, probiotic microorganisms, and fruit extracts, which provide a synergistic immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory effect. The inventive step lies in the strategic selection and combination of these components to achieve a more potent and effective bioactive extract composition.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include using different medicinal fungal species, varying the concentrations of the fungal extract components, or incorporating additional natural antioxidants or anti-inflammatory compounds. Variations could also involve using different fermentation methods or optimizing the system for producing the bioactive extract composition.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The enhanced bioactive extract composition has potential commercial applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, particularly in the development of immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory products. The target market includes consumers seeking natural and effective health supplements, as well as companies developing products for immune system support and overall wellness.
