Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nutrients, and in particular relates to an immune homeostasis-regulating cartilage repair composite nutrient and a preparation process thereof. Background Art
[0002] In today's society, more than 80% of the elderly have knee joint diseases, of which 60% suffer from cartilage diseases. Among these 48% of elderly people, more than 90% cannot find suitable treatment options in the early stages of cartilage damage and can only "raise a tiger to harm themselves."
[0003] Cartilage damage has no direct correlation with height, weight, or size. Research has found that the direct cause of cartilage damage is organic cartilage failure, primarily due to a decrease in the amount of undenatured type II collagen within the cartilage. This decrease in undenatured type II collagen leads to a sharp decrease in sodium hyaluronate secretion, reducing the amount of filling and lubrication between collagen fibers on the surface of the cartilage. This increases friction during joint movement and prevents the absorption of the stress and impact of movement. Based on this, experiments have shown that even if cartilage is adequately supplied with undenatured type II collagen and sodium hyaluronate, over time, the undenatured type II collagen will rapidly decrease, and the sodium hyaluronate will be completely depleted. Extensive experiments have revealed that the rapid decrease in undenatured type II collagen is caused by an attack by the body's immune cells. Research into the mechanism by which immune cells drive out undenatured type II collagen has shown that immune cells only misdirect undenatured type II collagen when the immune system is dysfunctional. Only then did researchers truly discover the cause of cartilage damage: a disrupted immune system! In other words, to heal cartilage damage, we must first strengthen our immune system, then rapidly restore health by adding nutrients like non-denatured type II collagen and sodium hyaluronate.
[0004] Existing cartilage repair nutritional supplements generally have three major defects: Single ingredient: Most products focus solely on the mechanical superposition of calcium and collagen (e.g., calcium alone + type II collagen), lacking coordinated regulation of the immune microenvironment (e.g., imbalance in macrophage M1 / M2 polarization), resulting in low repair efficiency (clinical data show that only 28% of patients experience significant improvement in joint function). Severe activity loss: In traditional wet granulation processes, the inactivation rate of heat-sensitive ingredients such as curcumin and VC reaches over 40% due to high temperatures (>60°C), and peptides are prone to Maillard reaction cross-linking; Bioavailability bottleneck: Free pro-inflammatory factor antagonists (such as earthworm protein) denature and become ineffective in the gastric acid environment, with an oral bioavailability of less than 15%, and cannot be delivered to the joint cavity in a targeted manner. Summary of the Invention
