Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a capsule with the function of relieving physical fatigue, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Physical fatigue is a common physiological state, usually caused by excessive physical or mental activity, manifested as energy depletion, accumulation of metabolic waste products, increased oxidative stress, and decreased bodily function. In modern society, the fast pace of life, work pressure, and unhealthy lifestyle habits have led to an increasing number of people experiencing physical fatigue. Long-term fatigue may further lead to decreased immunity, endocrine disorders, and chronic diseases, seriously affecting quality of life and work efficiency.
[0003] Methods to alleviate physical fatigue mainly include rest, nutritional supplementation, and drug intervention. Common anti-fatigue products on the market include energy drinks, vitamin and mineral supplements, and traditional Chinese medicine preparations. However, many products have limitations: first, their ingredients are singular, such as relying solely on caffeine or vitamins, resulting in short-lived effects and a high risk of dependence; second, synthetic drugs may be accompanied by side effects, such as nervous system stimulation or burden on the liver and kidneys; and third, traditional Chinese medicine has a slow onset of action, poor taste, and low user compliance. Therefore, developing a natural, safe, effective, and scientifically formulated anti-fatigue composition has become a research hotspot.
[0004] Mitochondria, as the cell's energy factories, are closely related to fatigue. Coenzyme Q10, a fat-soluble quinone compound, is widely distributed in the inner mitochondrial membrane, participating in electron transport and ATP synthesis, and is a key coenzyme in cellular energy metabolism. Simultaneously, coenzyme Q10 possesses strong antioxidant capabilities, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative damage. Studies have shown that exogenous coenzyme Q10 supplementation can significantly improve physical endurance and anti-fatigue ability. However, coenzyme Q10 has low bioavailability when used alone, and its anti-fatigue mechanism is relatively simple, limiting its application effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a capsule with the function of relieving physical fatigue, its preparation method, and its application. The composition contains coenzyme Q10 and mangosteen peel extract in a specific mass ratio as core active ingredients, and sea buckthorn seed extract may preferably be added. This composition can effectively improve physical endurance, accelerate the clearance of metabolic products, and enhance antioxidant capacity, thereby significantly relieving physical fatigue. It has the characteristics of being natural, safe, efficient, and having high bioavailability, and can be used to prepare foods, health foods, or drugs that relieve physical fatigue.

[0016] B3: Repeated extraction: Filter out the first extract, add the same volume of 70% ethanol solution to the residue, and repeat the extraction 1-2 times under the above conditions, separating the extract after each extraction;
[0017] B4: Concentration and Drying: Combine all extracts, concentrate and recover ethanol under reduced pressure at 50℃-60℃, and concentrate to extract. Spray dry the extract, controlling the inlet air temperature at 170-185℃ and the outlet air temperature at 75-85℃. After spray drying, the mangosteen peel extract is obtained.
[0018] Secondly, based on the technology provided in the first aspect, the present invention further provides a composition having the function of relieving physical fatigue, which, by weight, further includes 15-35 parts of sea buckthorn seed extract.

[0026] The composition provided in the first or second aspect above comprises 50 to 80 parts, an oily matrix of 20 to 50 parts, a suspending agent of 1 to 3 parts, and an emulsifier of 0.5 to 2 parts.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution, the oily matrix is one or more of medium-chain triglycerides, soybean oil, and corn oil; the suspending agent is beeswax or hydrogenated vegetable oil; and the emulsifier is soybean lecithin.
[0028] Fifthly, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned soft capsules, comprising the following steps:

[0113] 1. Experimental Materials
[0114] Laboratory animals: SPF-grade ICR male mice, weighing 18-22g, grouped as follows:
[0115] Coenzyme Q10 monotherapy group (dosage was 100 mg / kg);
[0116] Mangosteen fruit shell extract (single dose: 100 mg / kg);
[0117] Sea buckthorn seed extract (single dose: 100 mg / kg);
[0118] Example 1 Composition A1 (Composition consists of: 10 parts coenzyme Q10 + 40 parts mangosteen fruit shell extract, dosage is 100 mg / kg)
[0119] Example 1 Composition A1-1 (The composition consists of: 5 parts coenzyme Q10 + 45 parts mangosteen peel extract, the dosage is 100 mg / kg, and the extraction method of mangosteen peel extract is the same as in Example 1).
[0120] Example 1 Composition A1-2 (The composition consists of: 20 parts of coenzyme Q10 + 30 parts of mangosteen peel extract, the dosage is 100 mg / kg, and the extraction method of mangosteen peel extract is the same as in Example 1).
[0121] Example 2 Composition A2 (Composition consists of: 10 parts coenzyme Q10 + 40 parts mangosteen fruit shell extract, dosage is 100 mg / kg)
[0122] Example 3 Composition A3 (Composition consists of: 10 parts coenzyme Q10 + 20 parts mangosteen fruit shell extract + 20 parts sea buckthorn seed extract, dosage is 100 mg / kg).
[0123] Blank control group (equal volume of physiological saline).
[0124] 2. Experimental Methods and Results
[0125] Ninety SPF-grade ICR male mice were randomly divided into nine groups of ten each. All mice in each group were administered the drug by gavage for 30 consecutive days. The administration volume was uniformly 0.2 mL / 10 g body weight, and the drug concentration was controlled to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the dosage.
[0126] The weighted swimming experiment was conducted 30 minutes after the last drug administration. Mice were placed in a swimming tank measuring 50cm×50cm×40cm, with a water depth of 30cm and a water temperature controlled at 25±1℃. A lead weight equivalent to 5% of the mouse's body weight was simultaneously loaded onto the mouse's tail. The time from entry into the water until exhaustion was recorded. Exhaustion was defined as the mouse's head being submerged for 10 seconds without surfacing. This was defined as the swimming time. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.
[0127] Table 1 Comparison of swimming time under load among different groups of mice (n=10)
[0128]
[0129] The above experimental results show that, compared with the blank control group, although each single-component group showed a certain extension, the effect was limited, and there was no statistically significant difference in the sea buckthorn seed single-component group. The key finding is that the swimming time (38.2 min) of composition A1 (ratio 10:40) in Example 1 was significantly better than all single-component groups and the control groups with different ratios (A1-1, A1-2), which preliminarily proves that coenzyme Q10 and mangosteen peel extract have the best synergistic effect under specific ratios. Furthermore, the effect of composition A3 (with added sea buckthorn seed extract) in Example 3 (41.5 min) was the most outstanding, significantly better than Example 1, suggesting the synergistic potential of the three-component combination. Meanwhile, the effect of Example 2 (hot reflux method) (33.5 min) was significantly inferior to Example 1 (ultrasound-microwave method), indicating that the extraction process has a decisive influence on the final efficacy.
[0130] Biochemical indicators were measured immediately after the swimming experiment. Blood samples were collected by enucleation, and serum was separated. The following methods were used to measure each indicator: blood lactate (BLA) was measured using the lactate oxidase method; serum urea nitrogen (SUN) using the urease method; liver glycogen using the anthrone method; superoxide dismutase (SOD) using the xanthine oxidase method; and malondialdehyde (MDA) using the thiobarbituric acid method. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.
[0131] Table 2 Comparison of blood biochemical indicators in mice of different groups (n=10)
[0132]
[0133] Data on blood lactate, serum urea nitrogen, and liver glycogen revealed the physiological mechanism of anti-fatigue effects from a metabolic perspective.
[0134] The experimental results showed that composition A1 in Example 1 was significantly more effective than the single-component groups in reducing post-exercise blood lactate (5.2 mmol / L) and serum urea nitrogen (7.1 mmol / L), and increasing energy reserves (liver glycogen) (12.5 mg / g). This confirms that the composition not only delays the onset of fatigue (by reducing the accumulation of metabolic products) but also enhances the body's energy supply. The three indicators of composition A3 in Example 3 were further optimized, demonstrating the positive contribution of the addition of sea buckthorn seed extract to metabolic regulation. Similarly, the effect of Example 2 was between that of the single-component group and Example 1, further confirming the advantages of the ultrasonic-microwave extraction process in obtaining highly active ingredients.
[0135] Table 3 Comparison of antioxidant indices among different groups of mice (n=10)
[0136]
[0137] SOD and MDA data illustrate the antioxidant mechanism of the composition.
[0138] The above experimental results show that composition A1 in Example 1 can most effectively enhance the activity of the body's own antioxidant enzyme SOD (168.5 U / mg prot) and significantly reduce the oxidative damage product MDA (5.1 nmol / mg prot), with better effects than the single composition and Example 2. This indicates that its anti-fatigue effect is closely related to alleviating oxidative stress. Composition A3 in Example 3 showed peak antioxidant performance, suggesting that the antioxidants rich in sea buckthorn seed extract, together with the original combination, produced a strong antioxidant synergistic effect, jointly scavenging more free radicals and protecting cell structure.
[0139] The above-mentioned weighted swimming experiment and the determination of multiple biochemical and antioxidant indicators comprehensively verified the excellent anti-fatigue effect of the composition of the present invention. The experimental results show that:
[0140] The scientific combination of Coenzyme Q10 (which improves mitochondrial function) and mangosteen peel extract (anti-inflammatory and antioxidant) (optimal ratio of 10:40) produces a "1+1>2" effect in terms of extending endurance, optimizing metabolism and anti-oxidation, and its overall performance is significantly better than any single component.
[0141] Secondly, the extraction process of mangosteen shell extract is crucial. Compared with the traditional hot reflux method, the ultrasonic-microwave synergistic extraction method can extract the active ingredients in mangosteen shell more efficiently, thereby directly improving the efficacy of the final product.
[0142] Finally, sea buckthorn seed extract was introduced into the core combination. Its flavonoids and other substances further enhanced the overall antioxidant and energy metabolism regulation capabilities, forming a more powerful triple synergistic network, resulting in Example 3 showing optimal performance across almost all indicators. In summary, this invention, through scientific component selection, optimized extraction processes, and reasonable dosage form design, successfully developed a fatigue-relieving solution with a clear mechanism and significant efficacy.
