Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sleep-aiding capsules, and particularly relates to ergothioneine sleep-aiding nutritious capsules and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the accelerated pace of life and increasing work pressure in modern society, sleep disorders have become a common health problem that plagues hundreds of millions of people around the world. Long-term lack of sleep not only leads to short-term symptoms such as fatigue, lack of concentration, and decreased immunity, but may also increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and mental illness, seriously affecting people's quality of life and physical health.
[0003] At present, the common sleep aid products on the market mainly include chemical synthetic sleeping pills and natural sleep aid health products. Chemical synthetic sleeping pills, such as benzodiazepines Benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines Although these drugs have the characteristics of rapid onset of action, long-term use can easily lead to drug dependence and tolerance, and may also cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, memory loss, and even serious risks such as respiratory depression. Traditional natural sleep aids are mostly based on a single ingredient or simple formula. For example, melatonin products are relatively safe, but they only work on regulating circadian rhythms. They have limited effect on improving sleep problems caused by complex mechanisms such as neurotransmitter imbalance and mitochondrial dysfunction, and are difficult to meet diverse market needs.
[0004] At the same time, ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant. Recent studies have found that it can cross the blood-brain barrier and exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the brain. It has potential value in improving sleep, but the oral bioavailability of ordinary ergothioneine is low.
[0005] In summary, the present invention provides an ergothioneine sleep-aiding nutritional capsule and a process thereof. Summary of the invention

Among them, GABA, as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, synergizes with the magnesium citrate complex to regulate nerve excitability and enhance the function of GABA receptors; under the action of liposomes and lactoferrin carriers, the brain concentration of nanoergothioneine is significantly increased, exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and improving the brain microenvironment; Withania somnifera extract and jujuboside A regulate the sleep mechanism from multiple targets; PQQ and spermidine form an electron transfer chain synergy system to optimize mitochondrial function and provide energy support for sleep; the melatonin sustained-release microspheres precisely regulate the sleep rhythm through a double-layer controlled release technology. Each component cooperates with each other to achieve multi-path and multi-target synergistic improvement of sleep, and compared with single-component products, the effect is more comprehensive and significant.
[0098] Advanced processes improve bioavailability: Adopt advanced formulation technologies such as pH-sensitive enteric coating, liposome encapsulation, nanonization, and ultrasonic cell wall breaking. GABA is in the form of a pH-sensitive enteric-coated sustained-release microcapsule, which can avoid degradation in the stomach, achieve intestinal targeted release, and improve bioavailability; the magnesium citrate complex is chelated by citric acid and malic acid in a specific molar ratio, and the absorption rate is increased to 3 times that of the traditional form; the liposome encapsulation of nanoergothioneine combined with lactoferrin carrier technology increases its brain concentration by 52%; the Withania somnifera extract is treated by 2 supercritical extraction and ultrasonic cell wall breaking, and the yield of active substances is increased to 98%; the cyclodextrin inclusion technology of PQQ and the double-layer controlled release technology of melatonin effectively improve the stability and release controllability of the components. The application of these process technologies greatly improves the absorption efficiency and action effect of each component in the body, ensuring the effectiveness of the product.
[0099] High safety and few side effects: The main components of the product of the present invention are all derived from natural extracts or substances existing in the human body itself. Compared with chemically synthesized sleeping pills, it does not have drug dependence and tolerance, avoids side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness, and has higher safety. At the same time, through scientific formula design and process optimization, it is ensured that each component can play a gentle and continuous role in the body, reducing the burden on the body, being suitable for long-term use, and providing a safer sleep aid option for people with sleep disorders.
[0100] Precise Release and Long-lasting Effect: The melatonin sustained-release microspheres adopt a double-layer controlled-release technology. The rapid-release part can take effect quickly, helping users fall asleep quickly, and the sustained-release part continuously releases to maintain the blood drug concentration for 8 hours, ensuring the sleep quality throughout the night; The pH-sensitive enteric coating of GABA enables targeted release in the intestine, allowing the components to exert their effects at the appropriate site; Through corresponding formulation technologies, other components also achieve precise release and long-lasting effect, ensuring the effectiveness and stability of the product during the sleep regulation process.
[0101] Controlled Quality and Strong Stability: During the preparation process, strict process parameters and quality control standards are formulated for each link, including the pretreatment, mixing granulation, drying, filling, etc. of each component. From the screening of raw materials, the determination of component content, to the detection of the appearance, filling quantity difference, disintegration time limit, etc. of the finished product, it is ensured that the product quality is stable and uniform, meeting the relevant quality standards, and providing reliable products for consumers.
