Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a plant-based compound composition, and more particularly to a plant-based compound composition containing yew leaf raw material. Prior Technology

[0002] The yew is an evergreen tree that can grow to over 20 meters tall. It is mainly distributed in deep mountains at mid-to-high altitudes of 1000-2500 meters. Its well-known medicinal value lies in the fact that the bark and branches of the yew can be used to extract paclitaxel for the treatment of cancer, making it extremely valuable.

[0003] However, yew leaves also contain many trace elements, compounds and polyphenols that are beneficial to the human body, but due to the characteristics of the tree species, yew leaves cannot be processed into raw materials using general processing methods. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention mainly utilizes the yew leaf raw material of the first composition and the main components of the second composition, such as astragalus powder, eleutherococcus senticosus powder, American ginseng powder, rhodiola rosea powder, yeast zinc, cordyceps militaris fruiting body powder, and L-arginine, to achieve the effects of improving blood circulation, promoting metabolism, deeply moisturizing the skin, improving sleep quality, maintaining mental clarity, stabilizing blood pressure and blood sugar, and enhancing human immunity. It can also effectively reduce the production of free radicals and thus improve the body's antioxidant capacity.

[0007] To enable the review committee to have a better understanding of the technical features of the present invention, a specific embodiment will be described in detail below. Implementation

[0008] Example 1: A plant-based compound composition comprising: raw materials and a first composition and a second composition in a relative proportion of 50% and 50%, respectively.

[0009] The first composition comprises: 50% yew leaf powder and 50% yew fruit powder in relative proportions. The second composition comprises: 12% astragalus powder, 12% eleutherococcus senticosus powder, 6% American ginseng powder, 6% rhodiola rosea powder, 2% zinc yeast, 12% cordyceps militaris fruiting body powder, 12% L-arginine, 6% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 18% maltodextrin, 12% microcrystalline cellulose, 1.5% silicon dioxide, and 0.5% magnesium stearate.

[0010] The processing steps for the yew leaf raw material include, in sequence: washing with clean water, soaking in hot water, soaking in cold water, fermentation, and baking and settling.

[0011] The water rinsing process includes: rinsing the yew leaves multiple times with clean water. The hot water soaking process includes: soaking the yew leaves in hot water at 100°C for 10 minutes. The cold water soaking process includes: soaking the yew leaves in room temperature cold water for 10 minutes.

[0012] The fermentation process includes: using a large fan to dry excess water from the yew leaves that have been soaked in cold water, and then piling the yew leaves thickly and placing them in a well-ventilated indoor area for 12 hours. The baking and resting process includes: piling the fermented yew leaves thickly and baking them at 120°C for 2 hours, pausing the baking and letting the yew leaves rest for 15 minutes, and then baking them at 120°C for 2 hours to complete the yew leaf raw material.

[0013] The raw material of yew leaves contains total triterpenoids, flavonoids, polyisoprene, and polyphenols that are beneficial to the human body. Triterpenoids have various regulatory functions, including blocking the transmission of signals from cancer cells and inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells. They also have an inhibitory effect on histamine release, reducing allergic reactions and inhibiting the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme to lower blood pressure and prevent stroke. The antioxidant properties of flavonoids help reduce inflammation, blood pressure, and cholesterol, thereby protecting blood vessels and the brain and preventing heart disease. Studies have shown that polyisoprene can improve liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride in animals, such as reducing damage caused by oxidative stress and the end product of lipid peroxidation, MDA, reducing and inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells, and significantly increasing the activity of Cu / Zn SOD (superoxide dismutase), GSH-Px (glutathione peroxidase), and GSH (glutathione) related to anti-inflammation in animal livers. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, which can help maintain heart and cardiovascular function, the nervous system, and assist in maintaining the normal functioning of the immune system.

[0014] Astragalus contains glucuronic acid, amino acids, choline, folic acid, betaine, and flavonoids, among other components. It has pharmacological effects such as regulating immune function and strengthening the heart. Clinically, it is often used for conditions like weakness and excessive sweating, chronic bronchitis, and hypertension due to prolonged illness and qi deficiency. Its health benefits mainly lie in replenishing qi and blood and enhancing immunity. Astragalus is rich in polysaccharides, which can improve human immunity and alleviate anemia. For those prone to fatigue, qi deficiency, and pale complexion, it helps improve physical condition, enhance physical strength, and combat fatigue through replenishing qi and blood. It is also rich in flavonoids, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties to help the body resist free radical damage. Astragalus also has the effects of strengthening the heart, dilating blood vessels, and improving blood circulation. It helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and protect heart health. It also helps regulate the metabolism of human cells, enhances the function of the immune system, and plays a role in improving the body's resistance and protecting health. Among them, the active ingredients such as astragalophenol, isoflavone, and astragalus polysaccharides can neutralize free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, protect liver cells from damage, and help damaged liver cells repair quickly. Astragalus is also rich in amino acids and trace elements, which can promote collagen synthesis, increase skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Its antioxidant effect can delay skin aging.

[0015] Acanthopanax senticosus is warm in nature and replenishes qi, similar to the qi-tonifying effects of ginseng. It also contains various nutrients such as triterpenoid saponins, eleutheroside, lignin, polysaccharides, carotene, and syringin. Among them, lignin can help restore vitality, thereby enhancing physical endurance and improving athletic performance.

[0016] American ginseng is rich in ginsenosides, which can support bodily functions, help boost vitality and energy, and make thinking clearer. It is also believed to have adaptogen properties, which can help regulate and restore balance naturally, thereby maintaining the body's energy and spirit.

[0017] Rhodiola rosea is believed to help protect the cardiovascular system and has anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, energy-boosting, and memory-enhancing effects. It is also rich in lysine, salicylic acid, and flavonoids.

[0018] Zinc is the second most abundant micronutrient in the human body after iron, and it is abundant in our muscles, bones, kidneys, liver, brain, and the prostate gland in men, playing a significant role in physiological function and health. "Yeast zinc" is derived from natural yeast. Yeast zinc helps maintain the metabolism of nutrients such as energy, protein, and carbohydrates in the body, ensuring the body has sufficient mental and physical energy to maintain a good state. It also helps with enzyme synthesis and maintains normal growth and development.

[0019] Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies contain active ingredients such as cordycepic acid, cordycepin, polysaccharides, and SOD, possessing strong antioxidant properties, effectively reducing free radical production, and exhibiting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Cordycepic acid can regulate balance and help promote male sexual function, enhancing male charm, stamina, and vitality. Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies can also increase ATP and antioxidant capacity, and reduce the production of lactic acid, free radicals, and lipid peroxides, achieving anti-fatigue effects. Cordycepin and cordyceps polysaccharides in Cordyceps militaris can inhibit the proliferation of various cancer cells, including liver cancer cells, cervical cancer cells, and breast cancer cells. Experiments have shown that Cordyceps militaris extract can improve glucose utilization in skeletal muscle to improve insulin resistance and effectively stimulate insulin release to lower fasting blood glucose levels. Furthermore, the fibrinolytic enzyme activity it contains can bind to fibrin to activate the fibrin degradation pathway, achieving an anti-thrombotic effect. The fruiting body extract of Cordyceps militaris also has the effect of reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6, and can increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase, providing good antioxidant capacity.

[0020] L-arginine is a valuable amino acid supplement and one of the most important amino acids for building proteins. Proteins are the main building blocks of human cells, tissues, and organs and help repair tissues. L-arginine can also promote the production of nitric oxide (NO), which enhances physical strength, promotes metabolism, regulates physiological functions, and thus improves the body's protective capabilities.

[0021] Polyvinylpyrrolidone, maltodextrin, and microcrystalline cellulose are binders or excipients used in tablet manufacturing. Silicon dioxide is an anti-caking agent commonly used in capsule and tablet foods, helping to disperse and homogenize food ingredients more evenly. Magnesium stearate reduces friction between the tablet surface and the mold during tablet manufacturing, prevents powder adhesion, and assists in tablet shaping.

[0022] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Therefore, modifications and variations made to the above embodiments by those skilled in the art will not depart from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention possesses industrial applicability, novelty, and inventiveness, and meets the requirements for an invention patent; therefore, an application is filed in accordance with the law.
