Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of health-care foods, in particular to a glucosamine chondroitin capsule and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing global aging population, osteoporosis (OP) has become a major health threat to the elderly, with its incidence continuing to climb, placing a heavy burden on families and social healthcare. As a systemic metabolic bone disease, OP is characterized by a decrease in bone mass per unit volume and deterioration of bone microstructure, leading to increased bone brittleness and decreased strength. Even minor external forces can cause fractures in the spine, hip, and other areas. OP is also accompanied by symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain, stature shortening, and spinal deformities, severely impairing patients' quality of life.

[0003] Medical science has established that calcium deficiency is the primary cause of OP. Vitamin D deficiency, decreased estrogen levels, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can also trigger or exacerbate the condition. Currently, oral calcium supplements are commonly used as a primary intervention in clinical practice, but they have significant limitations: First, they are slow to show results, as calcium absorption relies on intestinal function and vitamin D. Bone repair and reconstruction cycles are long, requiring months to years to see improvement in bone density. Second, treatment is long, and long-term medication can easily lead to gastrointestinal reactions such as constipation, reducing patient compliance. Third, their limited effectiveness fails to address core issues such as bone microstructural degeneration and cartilage damage, making it difficult to fundamentally prevent and treat OP.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the current needs for the prevention and treatment of OP, the development of a safe, efficient, and compliant glucosamine chondroitin capsule, as well as the corresponding optimized preparation method, which can simultaneously supplement calcium, regulate bone metabolism, and protect cartilage tissue, has become a key direction that urgently needs breakthroughs in the medical field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a glucosamine chondroitin capsule and a preparation method thereof, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, improve calcium absorption efficiency and protect articular cartilage through the synergistic effect of multiple components, and achieve preventive intervention and symptom improvement of osteoporosis.

[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions: A glucosamine chondroitin capsule, comprising the following components by weight: 160-190 parts of calcium carbonate, 230-270 parts of glucosamine sulfate, 30-70 parts of chondroitin sulfate, 15-25 parts of casein phosphopeptide, and 1-3 parts of magnesium stearate.

[0007] Furthermore, the preferred ratio of the capsule is 175 parts of calcium carbonate, 250 parts of glucosamine sulfate, 50 parts of chondroitin sulfate, 23 parts of casein phosphopeptide, and 2 parts of magnesium stearate.

[0008] Furthermore, the dosage form of the capsule is a hard capsule, with a total weight of 0.5g per capsule.

[0009] A method for preparing glucosamine chondroitin capsules comprises the following steps: (1) Raw material sieving: Calcium carbonate, magnesium stearate, chondroitin sulfate, and casein phosphopeptide were sieved through a 60-mesh sieve respectively; (2) Grinding: Grind the glucosamine sulfate and pass it through a 60-mesh sieve; (3) primary mixing: placing the calcium carbonate, chondroitin sulfate, and casein phosphopeptide sieved in step (1) and the glucosamine sulfate crushed in step (2) in a mixer and mixing for 30 minutes to obtain a mixed powder; (4) Secondary mixing: adding sifted magnesium stearate to the mixed powder and mixing for 5 minutes to obtain a total mixed powder; (5) Capsule filling: Fill the total mixed powder into size 0 capsule shells to prepare 0.5 g / capsule capsules; (6) Polishing and inner packaging: Polish the filled capsules and remove capsules with unqualified appearance in time. Then, pack them into high-density polyethylene bottles at a rate of 60 capsules / bottle and transfer them to outer packaging through a buffer device; (7) Outer packaging and warehousing: Pack the products according to the packaging operating procedures, obtain the product certificate after passing the inspection, and then put them into storage and go through the warehousing procedures.

[0010] Furthermore, the sieving in step (1) and step (2) is through a 60-mesh oscillating sieve with a sieve aperture of 0.25 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating speed of the mixer in step (3) is 20 to 25 r / min, and the rotating speed of the mixer in step (4) is 15 to 20 r / min.

[0012] Furthermore, in the inner packaging process in step (6), unqualified products such as those with poor sealing need to be eliminated.

[0013] Furthermore, steps (1) to (6) are carried out in a Class 300,000 clean work area. Beneficial effects

[0014] Calcium carbonate + casein phosphopeptide for efficient calcium supplementation: Calcium carbonate, as a calcium supplement raw material, has high calcium content and good safety. Calcium carbonate chelates with casein phosphopeptide to form a soluble complex to promote gastrointestinal absorption of calcium, significantly improving the body's calcium absorption rate and solving the absorption bottleneck of traditional calcium supplements.

[0015] 2. Glucosamine sulfate + chondroitin sulfate protect joints: The two work synergistically in a 5:1 ratio to promote the synthesis of synovial fluid and cartilage matrix, inhibit degenerative factors such as MMP-3 and IL-1β, help the development of cartilage in the joint cavity and increase the lubricating fluid in the joint cavity, providing good cushioning and protection functions.

[0016] 3. Step-by-step mixing + particle size control: The main ingredients are mixed for 30 minutes before adding magnesium stearate and mixing for 5 minutes to prevent the excipients from wrapping and affecting absorption; all materials are sieved through a 60-mesh sieve to ensure particle size uniformity, mixing uniformity RSD ≤ 2%, and capsule filling volume difference within ± 3%; and this product is produced in a 300,000-level clean area, in compliance with health food standards, to avoid microbial contamination and ensure product hygiene and safety.

[0017] 4. All raw materials are food grade or pharmacopoeia ingredients, which comply with the health food declaration regulations. The daily intake of the formula (420mg of calcium and 1.5g of glucosamine) is within the safe range, and it has both effectiveness and safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
