Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of health food technology, and in particular to a food and medicine homologous composition paste with the effect of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia are the most common chronic metabolic diseases in clinical practice, with a persistently high incidence rate among middle-aged and elderly populations. In recent years, they have shown a trend of affecting younger people due to changes in lifestyle. As core risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease, if the "three highs" are not well controlled in the long term, they will gradually damage the function of important target organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, not only reducing patients' quality of life but also potentially triggering acute complications that endanger life. They have become one of the major public health problems affecting national health.
[0003] In clinical interventions for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, treatment often relies on chemical drugs such as antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs for symptomatic relief. While these drugs can quickly lower the levels, long-term use can easily lead to side effects such as increased metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys, gastrointestinal discomfort, and electrolyte imbalances. On the other hand, while lifestyle interventions have no side effects, they are slow to take effect, require long-term adherence, and have poor patient compliance, making it difficult to meet the public's demand for a "safe, efficient, and gentle" approach to managing hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.
[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine pastes, or "gaozi," are one of the eight major dosage forms in traditional Chinese medicine, with a long history of use. They are characterized by their nourishing, health-preserving, strengthening, anti-aging, and longevity-promoting properties. Despite their benefits, the complex manufacturing process of gaozi has led to its near extinction. Gaozi are made by decocting and concentrating health-preserving ingredients or by decocting Chinese herbs with water, filtering the residue, concentrating the liquid, and then adding excipients such as honey to create a paste-like consistency. Primarily nourishing, they also offer a slow therapeutic effect. Their palatable taste makes them popular with patients. As an important component of the traditional Chinese medicine system of "gao, dan, wan, san" (paste, pill, powder), gaozi leverages the natural properties of food and medicine homologous materials, offering natural advantages in regulating sub-health conditions and improving chronic health issues such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. This aligns particularly well with the modern population's demand for safe and gentle health interventions.
[0005] However, current traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) paste formulations lack scientific basis, with chaotic ingredient ratios and unbalanced combinations of core active ingredients. The preparation processes are also significantly flawed, ranging from arbitrary raw material selection to lack of standardized temperature and time control during decoction, and missing parameters in the concentration process. This results in insufficient dissolution of active ingredients and poor stability. Furthermore, the lack of standards for excipient addition in some products further hinders efficacy. These problems directly lead to unclear and unstable therapeutic effects in existing paste products. There is an urgent need for a scientifically precise, well-regulated, and safe food-medicine homologous composition paste to address the shortcomings of existing products and meet the public's demand for safe and effective treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, in the preparation method of the above-mentioned food and medicine homologous composition paste with the effect of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, in step 2), if a two-stage decoction process is adopted, the decoction is boiled for 60 minutes after each boiling. After the first decoction, the first decoction is filtered and collected. Then, 5-8 times the total weight of the raw materials is added to the filtered residue, and the decoction operation is repeated. The second decoction is then filtered and collected. The first and second decoctions are combined as the decoction to be concentrated in step 3). If a single-stage decoction process is adopted, the decoction is boiled for 120 minutes after boiling.
[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned method for preparing a medicinal paste with the effect of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, in step 3), a 100-mesh filter is used for filtration; in the negative pressure low-temperature concentration process, the negative pressure of the concentration pot is controlled to be greater than 0.06 MPa and the temperature inside the pot is not higher than 75°C; when the liquid level in the concentration pot drops to about 1 / 4, 30-50 ml of medicinal liquid is extracted to measure the concentration of the decoction, and the concentration of the decoction is measured using a Baumé meter until the concentration stabilizes at 20-22 Baumé degrees, and then the concentration is stopped.
[0014] Therefore, this invention employs the aforementioned food-medicine homologous composition paste with the efficacy of lowering the three highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol) and its preparation method. The food-medicine homologous raw materials are precisely divided according to function and proportion, with each component having a clear ratio and synergistic effect. This can specifically improve the cell membrane substance exchange barrier in the microcirculation of body tissue cells and promote cell metabolism. This core mechanism directly addresses the essence of the three highs problem, enabling people with the three highs to experience a general reduction in key indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, uric acid, blood sugar, and triglycerides within one hour of taking the paste. Furthermore, these indicators continue to decrease within 1.0-4.0 hours. The overall efficacy in lowering the three highs is significantly superior to existing similar products and some drugs, achieving the advantages of rapid onset, sustained and stable effects, and wide applicability. By strictly controlling the weight error of raw materials, standardizing decoction parameters, and adopting processes such as negative pressure low-temperature concentration and filter filtration, the effective active ingredients in the raw materials are preserved to the maximum extent, and the damage of efficacy components to high temperatures is avoided. At the same time, the amount of potassium sorbate added is strictly controlled within 0.1% of the weight of the concentrated liquid, ensuring both the product's preservative effect and food safety, ultimately achieving definite product efficacy and stable quality.

Add 5 times the total weight of the raw materials in purified water to the filtered residue, and repeat heating to boiling and decoction for 40 minutes. Filter and collect the second decoction. Combine the two decoctions to obtain a clear decoction with a total volume of about 9000mL.
[0030] In the concentration step, the combined clarified liquid was transferred into a vacuum concentrator, and the vacuum pump was turned on to stabilize the negative pressure of the concentrator at 0.07 MPa. The temperature inside the concentrator was controlled at 70°C. During the concentration process, 40 mL of liquid was drawn every 30 minutes, and the concentration was measured with a Baumé meter with an accuracy of 0.1 Bé. The initial concentration was 3 Bé. After 2.5 hours of concentration, the concentration of the liquid reached 21 Bé. Concentration was then stopped, and 2500 g of concentrate was obtained.
[0031] Finally, in the process of adding excipients, the prescribed amount of honey is added to 2500g of concentrate, along with 2.5g of potassium sorbate, and stirred to ensure that all excipients are completely dissolved. The mixture is then allowed to cool naturally to room temperature to obtain a paste containing a food and medicine homology composition that has the effect of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. This paste is then packaged and sealed for storage.

The temperature inside the concentrator was controlled at 70°C. During the concentration process, 40 mL of liquid was drawn every 30 minutes, and the concentration was measured with a Baumé meter with an accuracy of 0.1 Bé. The initial concentration was 3 Bé. After 2.5 hours of concentration, the concentration of the liquid reached 21 Bé. Concentration was then stopped, and 6750 g of concentrate was obtained.

After 2.5 hours of concentration, the concentration of the liquid reached 21 Bé. Concentration was then stopped, and 11250 g of concentrate was obtained.
[0041] Finally, in the process of adding excipients, the prescribed amount of honey is added to 11250g of concentrate, along with 11.25g of potassium sorbate. Stir to ensure that all excipients are completely dissolved, and let it cool naturally to room temperature to obtain a food and medicine homologous composition paste with the effect of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. It is then packaged and sealed for storage.
[0042] The results of testing and efficacy verification of the product from Example 1 above are as follows.
[0043] In terms of sensory indicators, the paste is brownish-brown with a uniform color and no obvious color difference. It has a complex aroma of dried tangerine peel and honey, no bitter taste of medicinal herbs, a mellow taste without any off-flavors, and is a thick semi-fluid with moderate fluidity. It has no layering or sedimentation and no visible foreign impurities, which meets the consumption requirements of a paste for lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.
[0044] The efficacy verification involved 20 volunteers who met the diagnostic criteria for "three highs" (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia): systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol / L, and total cholesterol ≥5.2 mmol / L. The volunteers were aged 35-65 years, with 10 males and 10 females. Those with severe liver or kidney dysfunction were excluded, and the volunteers had not previously taken any related Western medications or had taken them for no more than 90 days. Volunteers took 15g twice daily, morning and evening, with warm water. During the treatment, they maintained a regular diet, without adjusting their existing antihypertensive / hyperglycemic / lipid-lowering medication dosages, and required no special dietary restrictions or additional treatments or interventions. Systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and total cholesterol were measured before administration, one hour after administration, one week after administration, and four weeks after administration.
[0045] The test results showed that before taking the medication, the baseline systolic blood pressure was 148.5±5.2 mmHg, fasting blood glucose was 7.8±0.6 mmol / L, and total cholesterol was 5.8±0.4 mmol / L. One hour after taking the medication, the systolic blood pressure dropped to 141.2±4.8 mmHg, fasting blood glucose dropped to 7.3±0.5 mmol / L, and total cholesterol dropped to 5.6±0.3 mmol / L, all indicators showing a rapid onset of action. After one week of taking the medication, the systolic blood pressure was 135.8±4.1 mmHg, fasting blood glucose was 6.9±0.4 mmol / L, and total cholesterol was 5.4±0.3 mmol / L. After four weeks of taking the medication, the systolic blood pressure was 130.2±3.5 mmHg, fasting blood glucose was 6.5±0.3 mmol / L, and total cholesterol was 5.1±0.2 mmol / L, with both blood pressure and cholesterol returning to the normal range. Throughout the verification process, the volunteers experienced no gastrointestinal discomfort, allergies, or other side effects, fully demonstrating that the ointment prepared in this embodiment can safely and effectively reduce the three highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol), solving the problems of ambiguous effects and obvious side effects of existing products.
[0046] Example 4 The raw material formula in this embodiment is exactly the same as that in Example 1, except that the "addition and decoction" step uses a single decoction process. Specifically, after soaking the medicinal materials for 1 hour, add 10 times the total weight of the raw materials in purified water, heat to 95°C and boil for 90 minutes. Filter once through a 100-mesh filter to obtain about 6000mL of decoction. The subsequent concentration and addition of excipients steps are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0047] Key test and verification results showed that the concentration of the concentrated decoction was 20.5 Bé. For efficacy verification, 20 volunteers meeting the diagnostic criteria for "three highs" (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia) were selected: systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol / L, and total cholesterol ≥5.2 mmol / L. The volunteers were aged 45-65 years, with 10 males and 10 females. Those with severe liver or kidney dysfunction were excluded, and they had not previously taken related Western medicines or had taken them for no more than 90 days. The decoction was taken with warm water, and the volunteers maintained a regular diet and did not adjust their existing antihypertensive / hyperglycemic / lipid-lowering medication dosages. Special dietary restrictions or adjuvant treatments / interventions were observed. One hour after administration, systolic blood pressure decreased to 135.2±4.8 mmHg, fasting blood glucose decreased to 6.9±0.5 mmol / L, and total cholesterol decreased to 5.2±0.3 mmol / L, all indicators showing a decrease. After four weeks of administration, systolic blood pressure was 132.5±3.8 mmHg, fasting blood glucose was 6.6±0.3 mmol / L, and total cholesterol was 5.1±0.2 mmol / L. All indicators were better than the baseline levels before administration and had returned to the normal range without any adverse reactions. These results indicate that both the single-decocting process and the two-decocting process in Example 1 can prepare a paste with a clear effect of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, proving that the preparation process of this invention has high flexibility and can meet the application needs of different production scenarios according to actual production conditions and efficiency requirements.
[0048] Therefore, this invention employs the aforementioned food-medicine homologous composition paste with the efficacy of lowering the three highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol) and its preparation method. The food-medicine homologous raw materials are precisely divided according to function and proportion, with each component having a clear ratio and synergistic effect. This can specifically improve the cell membrane substance exchange barrier in the microcirculation of body tissue cells and promote cell metabolism. This core mechanism directly addresses the essence of the three highs problem, enabling people with the three highs to experience a general reduction in key indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, uric acid, blood sugar, and triglycerides within one hour of taking the paste. Furthermore, these indicators continue to decrease within 1.0-4.0 hours. The overall efficacy in lowering the three highs is significantly superior to existing similar products and some drugs, achieving the advantages of rapid onset, sustained and stable effects, and wide applicability. By strictly controlling the weight error of raw materials, standardizing decoction parameters, and adopting processes such as negative pressure low-temperature concentration and filter filtration, the effective active ingredients in the raw materials are preserved to the maximum extent, and the damage of efficacy components to high temperatures is avoided. At the same time, the amount of potassium sorbate added is strictly controlled within 0.1% of the weight of the concentrated liquid, ensuring both the product's preservative effect and food safety, ultimately achieving definite product efficacy and stable quality.
