Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nutraceutical composition
- a nutraceutical composition comprising inulin and an extract of the maqui berry, as well as other ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins and/or trace elements, in particular for its use in the prevention and/or treatment of ocular pathologies and/or in the prevention and/or treatment of imbalances in the intestinal microbiota.
- Ocular pathologies include many eye conditions that are often accompanied by discomfort. These different disorders can manifest themselves in various forms such as tingling, itching, a feeling of burning, sand or foreign bodies in the eyes, or sensitivity to light, visual disturbance, fatigue or eye pain. , or headaches, but they can also result from tear film instability, inflammation of corneal cells, or inflammation of goblet cells in the eyes.
- prebiotics food compounds in the form of sugars such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides with short carbon chains, are essential for the development and growth of bacteria in the intestinal flora.
- the breakdown products of prebiotics are released into the circulation and act on various organs which may be distant from each other.
- One of the well-known prebiotics is inulin.
- This soluble fiber composed of fructose molecules is widely used as an ingredient and/or as an active compound in the food industry, for example as a supplement in infant milk powders to promote the growth of newborns with other supplements such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (Gold Mamil Growing Up Formula Step 3 from Mintel)5 but also in the pharmaceutical field (Hinrichs et al., Carbohydrate Polymers, 2015, 134, 418-428) and in particular for the prevention and treatment of allergies in children (WO 2013/062402), for the treatment of inflammation in combination with xylans (WO 2011/020853) or for the prevention or treatment of pathologies associated with people's lifestyle (JP 201317441). Mixtures of plants, including roots known to contain inulin are also described for treatments derived from traditional Chinese medicine (CN 1245187).
- compositions exist for the treatment of ocular diseases. However, although these compositions may act on ocular disorders, they do not make it possible to treat all the associated symptoms, and in particular have no action on the inflammation responsible for the discomfort.
- the inventors have therefore developed a nutraceutical composition based on inulin having beneficial effects on the entire system in the case of ocular pathologies.
- the inventors have developed a nutraceutical composition based on inulin and maqui berry extract, having beneficial effects on the intestinal microbiota of people, in particular on its metabolic activity and/or on the membrane permeability of the intestines for the molecules involved in the phenomena of inflammation and/or on the composition of the microbiota, its diversity and its balance in certain microbial groups, good health.
- composition can be used preventively and/or as part of a treatment.
- the invention relates to a nutraceutical composition
- a nutraceutical composition comprising inulin and an extract of maqui berry comprising anthocyanidins.
- the invention relates to a formulation suitable for oral administration comprising inulin, an extract of maqui berry, one or more amino acids, preferably including carnitine, vitamins and minerals.
- the present invention relates to a nutraceutical composition
- a nutraceutical composition comprising inulin and a maqui berry extract comprising anthocyanidins for the prevention and/or treatment of ocular pathologies.
- the present invention relates to a nutraceutical composition
- a nutraceutical composition comprising inulin and a maqui berry extract comprising anthocyanidins for the prevention and/or treatment of an imbalance of the intestinal microbiota and pathologies associated with this imbalance.
- nutraceutical refers to an edible product having a physiological beneficial effect.
- nutraceutical composition is meant a composition whose purpose is supplementing the normal diet and constituting a concentrated source of nutrients or other substances having a nutritional or physiological effect, singly or in combination.
- eye pathologies includes various diseases affecting the eyes. In some cases, they result in simple eye discomfort, but can sometimes become disabling. “Ocular pathologies” thus means tingling, itching, burning sensations, sand or foreign bodies in the eyes, sensitivity to light, visual disturbance, eye fatigue, eye pain, instability of the tear film, inflammation of corneal cells, inflammation of goblet cells in the eyes and/or headache.
- the eye pathologies can also be chosen from dry eye syndrome, meibomian dysfunction, allergic conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, and/or be associated with eye surgery.
- gut microbiota imbalance is meant an imbalance in the activity of the microbial community and/or an imbalance in the microbial composition and/or an increase in intestinal membrane permeability.
- the "microbial community” is made up of all the microorganisms that make up the intestinal microbiota of an individual. Its composition, the diversity of the microbial groups present or the relative abundance of certain microbial groups are markers of an imbalance that impacts the state of health of an individual and in particular his sensitivity or his propensity to develop ocular pathologies. High diversity is a sign of good gut health.
- Short-chain fatty acids are derived from the intestinal bacterial fermentation of indigestible foods, and are the primary source of energy for colon cells, making them makes it essential for gastrointestinal health.
- Lactate is produced by lactic acid bacteria and lowers the pH of the environment, also acting as an antimicrobial agent. Lactate can also be rapidly converted to acetate, butyrate and propionate by other microorganisms.
- the measurement of pH and the degree of acidification is a measure of the intensity of bacterial metabolism.
- Ammonium is a proteolytic degradation product that results in the production of potentially toxic or carcinogenic compounds such as p-cresol and p-phenol. Excess gas production is considered a potentially negative effect of increased saccharolytic activity of the gut community.
- the increase in membrane permeability will result from an imbalance in the composition of the intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis) and leads to an increase in inflammation of the digestive system and to a general inflammatory state which will promote the development of pathologies associated with the inflammation and in particular ocular pathologies.
- the improvement in membrane permeability is the consequence of an improvement in the composition of the intestinal microbiota which, in particular, promotes the prevention and/or treatment of ocular pathologies.
- NF-kB activity pro-inflammatory cytokines
- pro-inflammatory cytokines human IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a, CXCL10 and MCP-1
- NF-kB activity pro-inflammatory
- a decrease in the production of these markers by the membrane epithelial cells of the intestine is the consequence of an improvement in the composition of the intestinal microbiota which, in particular, promotes the prevention and/or treatment of ocular pathologies.
- the improvement in the imbalance of the intestinal microbiota can be quantified by the production of IL-10 (anti-inflammatory).
- An increase in the production of IL-10 is the consequence of an improvement in the composition of the intestinal microbiota which, in particular, favors the prevention and/or treatment of ocular pathologies.
