Six-Kingdom Oral Nutritional Supplement Composition

Abstract

The invention is a nutritional composition in unit dosage form for oral administration to an animal or human, which includes at least one ingredient from each of six biological Kingdoms selected from the group consisting of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, protist and archaea. Each ingredient is co-admixed with every other said ingredient without further addition of synthetic excipients or fillers, and is typically formulated in dried powder form as a drink mix, food or beverage additive or as the fill for hard or soft capsules or other dosage forms including tablets (the compositions of the invention can generally be tableted without addition of ingredients beyond the nutrients themselves).

Claims

1. A composition in unit dosage form for oral administration, comprising: at least one ingredient from each of six biological Kingdoms selected from the group consisting of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, protist and archaea, wherein each said ingredient is admixed with every other said ingredient without further addition of synthetic excipients or fillers.

2. The composition according to claim 1, wherein said ingredients are contained within a capsule.

3. The composition according to claim 1, wherein said ingredients are in tablet form.

4. The composition according to claim 1, wherein said ingredients are compounded into a reconstitutable powder.

5. The composition according to claim 1, wherein said ingredients are compounded into a ready to drink beverage.

6. The composition according to claim 1, wherein said ingredients are compounded into an energy or protein bar.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In the context of the present invention, “broad spectrum” means “having multiple physiological effects on the immune system, metabolism, digestion and circulation.” In other contexts, of course, broad-spectrum means something else. A broad-spectrum antibiotic would conventionally be understood to have antibiotic activity against a number of microorganisms. In the present invention, the focus of action is entirely different: the present nutritional supplement is broad-spectrum to act beneficially as to the immune system, metabolism, digestion and circulation precisely because it contains at least one ingredient from each of the six biological Kingdoms (animal, plant, fungi, bacteria, protist, and archaea) and can therefore by definition affect all possible biological function all at the same time due to its extremely broad array of macro and micronutrients, multi and single cellular microorganisms and their metabolites, and phytonutrients.

[0009] The present invention combines a nutritional ingredient (at least one, and possibly more than one) from each of the biological Kingdoms of animal, plant, fungi, bacteria, protist and archaea.

[0010] While the invention pertains to any nutritional supplement oral composition combining ingredients from each of the six Kingdoms, certain categories of nutrient types are preferred as follows. [0011] ANIMAL: fish roe, fish oil, organ meats from land animals, dairy products and derivatives, fowl eggs, insects (including but not limited to crickets, grubs, termites, grasshoppers, pod borers, dragonflies, hawk moths, rice borers, catepillers, cutworms, silkworms, bollworms, ants, beetles, water bugs, bees, wasps, yellow jackets, cicadas, stink bugs, weevils, katydids, lucusts, scorpions, mantis and spiders—see for example “World List of Edible Insects 2015, Yde Jongema, Wageningen University). [0012] PLANT: herbs, spices, sprouts, seeds, fruits, or vegetables. [0013] FUNGI: mushrooms, fungal enzymes, vitamin and mineral rich yeasts, anf amino acid rich yeasts. [0014] BACTERIA: Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Acetobacter, and bacterial enzymes. [0015] PROTIST: micro algae and macro algae including but not limited to red algae and spirulina; phytoplankton; mold-based enzymes. [0016] ARCHAEA: deep sea minerals and sea salts; shilajit, and bentonite clay and other clays containing archaea.

[0017] Although the invention has been described above the following examples are illustrative.

EXAMPLE 1

[0018] An oral nutritional supplement according to the invention is prepared as follows.

[0019] Each hard shell capsule contains 675 mg of the following raw materials in dried powder from each of the six Kingdoms. [0020] Fish Roe: 200 mg [0021] Turmeric Root: 200 mg [0022] Reishi Mushroom: 100 mg [0023] Spirulina: 100 mg [0024] Bacillus coagulans: 50 mg [0025] Deep Sea Salt: 25 mg

EXAMPLE 2

[0026] An oral nutritional supplement according to the invention is prepared as follows. Each hard shell capsule contains 675 mg of the following raw materials in dried powder from each of the six Kingdoms. [0027] Venison Liver: 200 mg [0028] Goji Berry: 200 mg [0029] Lion's Mane Mushroom: 100 mg [0030] Chlorella: 100 mg [0031] Lactobacillus salivarius: 50 mg [0032] Himalayan shilajit: 25 mg

EXAMPLE 3

[0033] An oral nutritional supplement according to the invention is prepared as follows. Each scoop of powder contains 2,000 mg of the following raw materials in dried powder from each of the six Kingdoms. [0034] Whey Protein: 1,000 mg [0035] Spinach: 200 mg [0036] Saccharomyces cerevisea sbspp boulardii: 200 mg [0037] Kelp: 200 mg [0038] Bacillus subtilis: 200 mg [0039] Montmorillionite Clay: 200 mg

[0040] The present composition is specifically oral. Of course it is possible to supplement nutrients through parenteral, transdermal, buccal or many other routes of administration, but for the synergies asserted here to obtain the administration must be oral. For example, it is not possible to enhance gut flora directly, as the present composition does, unless the present supplement is actually ingested. While there may be benefits of administering representative nutrient sources from all six Kingdoms by some route of administration other than oral, for the purpose of the new and unexpected results of the present invention the administration must be by normal ingestion and therefore the invention is an oral dosage form. From the standpoint of a legitimate superfood, also, the present composition does not contain any synthetic additives or excipients other than the nutritional ingredients themselves. The absence of synthetic excipients or fillers enhances the ability of the six (or more) ingredients to create novel synergies. Having said that, however, those skilled in the art will understand that “one man's filler is another man's nutrient.” For example, if carageenan is desired for use in the present invention, as a polysaccharide derived from red algae and for its nutritional purpose, it will be an active agent in this formulation even though, say, in a commercial ice cream it might be considered a thickener or additive. Ultimately, the point of every ingredient in the present invention is its nutritional profile, and because all six biological Kingdoms are represented as a practical matter the formulation of the admixed ingredients into capsules, tablets, powders or ready to drink beverages is straightforward. In other words, by using all six biological Kingdom ingredient representatives, an eminently compoundable admixture results that needs no further additives.

[0041] Whereas particular embodiments of this invention have been described above for purposes of illustration, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that numerous variations of the details of the present invention may be made without departing from the invention as defined in the appended claims.
