Watching Xu Wenhao leave the office with an excited look on his face, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. After remarking that youth was wonderful, he picked up the analysis report on the desk.
The results of the analysis were quite interesting.
First was the sample of liquid food.
Although Lu Zhou had never studied biology, he still knew a little basic knowledge. Besides, Researcher Xu had written the summary in fairly plain language, so he could understand it.
According to the compositional analysis, this liquid food contained almost every nutrient required by the human body. It also contained a special active substance that could improve the activity of intestinal flora and intestinal absorption, maximizing the absorption of all nutrients and reducing the excretion of metabolic waste.
Put more simply, if this stuff replaced three daily meals, one might not need to take a dump for three days, though urination would become more frequent.
For astronauts, for whom excretion was a major concern, this thing truly deserved to be called a "miracle tool."
That active substance in particular, which promoted digestion and absorption, could be used not only in space food. It could easily be made into digestive tablets or used as a health supplement that aided digestion.
As for toxicological testing of this active substance, clinical experiments on white mice had shown no obvious toxicity. Xu Wenhao had not yet conducted experiments on humans, but Lu Zhou guessed there should not be any problem.
After all, considering the future civilization's technological level, the clinical trials and pharmacological testing required for a drug ingredient to go from development to market would only be more complex than they were now.
Worrying about "food safety" was completely unnecessary.
