Description

Field of Invention:

[0001] This invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine preparation for weight loss and its preparation method, belonging to the field of pharmaceutical technology. Background Technology

[0002] Obesity is a common metabolic disorder. When the body consumes more calories than it burns, the excess calories are stored as fat. When this amount exceeds normal physiological needs and reaches a certain level, it develops into obesity. Normal adult males have 15%–18% body fat, while women have 20%–25%. The proportion of body fat increases with age. External factors primarily involve overeating and insufficient physical activity. Increased calorie intake exceeding calorie expenditure, leading to increased fat synthesis, is the material basis for obesity. Internal factors include disordered fat metabolism. Obesity is treated by controlling total food intake and engaging in appropriate exercise.

[0003] There are many ways to control weight, which generally include a healthy diet, appropriate exercise, good sleep, adequate water intake, mental health, and stress management. When controlling weight, try to choose healthy methods and avoid excessive dieting or taking oral weight-loss drugs. Common weight-loss drugs include orlistat, metformin tablets, and other similar medications. While long-term use of weight-loss drugs may result in a lower weight in the short term, it can also cause long-term health problems such as mood disorders, nutritional imbalances, nerve damage, and endocrine disorders. Furthermore, taking weight-loss drugs or dieting can lead to weight rebound.

[0004] The principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) lies in addressing the root causes of illness by considering the different constitutions of individuals. It achieves its goal by simultaneously treating and regulating the body's systems. This invention emphasizes weight loss through regulating bodily functions. The medicines used in this invention are all food-grade medicinal materials that can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, nourish yin and blood, and calm the mind and spirit, thereby achieving the goals of weight control and fat reduction. Its side effects are fewer and its safety profile is greater than that of Western medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine preparation for weight loss and its preparation method. This invention has the effects of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, nourishing yin and blood, and calming the mind and soothing the nerves.

[0117] Dosage and administration: Take 100-150mL at lunch and 40-60mL at dinner, replacing rice as the staple food. Vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and low-GI fruits can be consumed normally.

[0118] 1.4.3 Follow-up and Data Collection

[0119] (1) During the treatment period, patients should be followed up regularly to record changes in indicators such as weight, abdominal circumference, visceral fat grade, visceral fat area, body fat, and BMI.

[0120] (2) Inquire about the patient's diet, exercise, and any adverse reactions during treatment.

[0121] 1.4.4 Study Endpoint

[0122] (1) Primary endpoint: Changes in patient weight after 1 month of treatment.

[0123] (2) Secondary endpoints: Changes in abdominal circumference, visceral fat grade, visceral fat area, body fat, BMI and other indicators after 1 month of treatment.

[0124] 1.4.5 Data Management and Statistical Analysis

[0125] (1) Establish a dedicated database to input, manage and back up research data.

[0126] (2) Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to explore the data distribution. One-way ANOVA was used to determine if the data followed a normal distribution, and the Dunnett-t test was used for post-hoc multiple comparisons. Independent samples nonparametric tests were used to determine if the data did not follow a normal distribution. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0127] 1.4.6 Quality Control

[0128] (1) Researchers receive standardized training before data collection to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data collection.

[0130] (3) Strictly follow the research plan to ensure the scientific nature and standardization of the research.

[0131] 1.4.7 Median Calculation Method

[0132] The median is unaffected by extreme values ​​and reflects the middle level of a set of data well. In some cases, it is more representative of the general situation of the data than the mean.

[0133] 1.4.7.1 When the number of data is odd, arrange the data from smallest to largest, and the middle number is the median.

[0134] For example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the median is 3.

[0135] 1.4.7.2 When the number of data is even, arrange the data in ascending order and take the average of the two middle numbers as the median.

[0136] For example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, the middle two numbers are 3 and 4, the median is (3+4)÷2=3.5.

[0172] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) etiology analysis: The patient's constitution is inherently weak, and improper diet damages the spleen and stomach. As a result, the spleen loses its ability to transform and transport fluids, leading to the accumulation of dampness and the generation of phlegm, which in turn causes obesity.

[0173] Past medical history: No special past medical history.

[0174] Family history: No family history of obesity.

[0175] Diagnosis by both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosed it as obesity; Western Medicine diagnosed it as simple obesity.
