Claims

1. FloraTummys Quick Dissolve Tablets are the first and only probiotics/prebiotic tablets designed to dissolve when mixed with liquids and marketed to help hospitals and other healthcare facilities to reduce the potential incidence of cross contamination of probiotics. I am not looking to patent the FloraTummys probiotic prebiotic combination of Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus reuteri or any probiotic/prebiotic combination, as there are many probiotics on the market with Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus reuteri with or without a prebiotic. I'm looking to patent any probiotic or prebiotic tablet that dissolves in liquids and marketed to dissolve in liquids. I am also looking to patent any probiotic or prebiotic that dissolves in liquids for the purpose of helping reduce the potential of cross contamination of probiotics in hospitals or any healthcare facility that use probiotics. If possible, I would want to patent the combination of any probiotic or prebiotic in combination with isolmalt and calcium palmitate. As this combination is specifically designed to dissolve in liquids and prevents probiotic powder particles from being released in the air.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] There are many probiotics on the market and several in tablet form. Most tablet probiotics are designed to be chewed and usually flavored to make it palatable. There are also probiotics that dissolve in the mouth but not designed to dissolve in liquids.

[0008] The tablet, in addition to its ability to completely dissolve in liquids must be a finished tablet with a smooth coating which also helps prevent particles from escaping in the air that cause cross contamination.

[0009] Powder probiotics when opened from a packet or container allow powder particles to immediately escape in the air. FloraTummys Quick Dissolve Tablet is placed in a syringe or closed container and then mixed with liquids.

[0010] The combination of probiotics, prebiotics, tablet lubricants, and sugar alcohol in FloraTummys allows for the tablet to completely dissolve in minutes. Isomalt is the sugar alcohol or dissolving agent in FloraTummys that allows the tablet to dissolve within minutes when mixed with liquids. The lubricant in FloraTummys that coats the tablet is calcium palmitate.

[0011] When mixed with liquids such as water, breastmilk, or formula the FloraTummys Quick Dissolve Tablet dissolves within minutes with little to no likelihood of allowing powder particles from escaping into the air like powder probiotics.

[0012] The ingredients in FloraTummys Quick Dissolve Tablets include: Probiotics (Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus reuteri), prebiotic (fructooligosaccharide), Isomalt, Calcium Palmitate.
