Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of health and wellness product technology, specifically to a reconstituteable composition that helps improve memory and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Memory is a core component of human cognitive function, and its strength directly affects learning, work efficiency, and quality of daily life. With the acceleration of global population aging, the incidence of memory decline-related symptoms (such as mild cognitive impairment and early signs of Alzheimer's disease) in the elderly is rising year by year, becoming a pressing social health problem. At the same time, the fast-paced lifestyle, long-term mental stress, and irregular work and rest schedules and diets in modern society are causing memory decline to gradually appear at younger ages. Problems such as low learning efficiency and increased work errors caused by poor memory are becoming increasingly prominent among teenagers and young adults, making the demand for products that help improve memory increasingly urgent.

[0003] Currently, products on the market that help improve memory mainly include chemically synthesized drugs, single-ingredient health supplements, and traditional Chinese medicine preparations. While chemically synthesized drugs offer rapid short-term effects, they generally have significant side effects and raise concerns about the safety of long-term use. Single-ingredient health supplements (such as DHA and ginkgo biloba extract) have a single mechanism of action, making it difficult to achieve a multi-target synergistic effect in improving memory. Although traditional Chinese medicine preparations have the advantages of being mild and safe, most suffer from unreasonable ingredient combinations, crude extraction processes leading to low utilization of effective ingredients, limited dosage forms (mostly decoctions or pills), inconvenient administration, and poor taste. In particular, there is a lack of dissolvable dosage forms suitable for modern fast-paced lifestyles, failing to meet consumers' comprehensive needs for convenience, palatability, and effectiveness.

[0004] Therefore, a reconstituteable composition for improving memory and its application are proposed to address the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: this reconstituteable composition for improving memory and its application, through the scientific formulation of twenty-one carefully selected traditional Chinese medicines and modern extraction and dosage form processes, achieves multi-component, multi-target synergistic improvement of memory, while also taking into account natural safety, efficient absorption, and convenient administration. The specific details are as follows:

[0023] First, the composition of this invention uses 21 carefully selected traditional Chinese medicines, including Fritillaria thunbergii, Allium macrostemon, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Rehmannia glutinosa, and ginseng, as raw materials. These raw materials work synergistically and complement each other in terms of efficacy. Among them, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Paeonia lactiflora, Prunus persica, and Carthamus tinctorius, which promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, can improve cerebral blood circulation and provide sufficient nutrition to brain tissue; Rehmannia glutinosa, Dioscorea opposita, and Cornus officinalis, which nourish the liver and kidneys, can nourish the brain marrow and solidify the physiological foundation for improved memory; and Ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensis, which invigorate qi and nourish yin, can enhance bodily vitality and improve symptoms of brain function decline. Compared to single-component health products with a single mechanism of action in the background art (such as DHA and Ginkgo biloba extract), this invention, through the synergistic effect of multiple components and multiple targets, can more comprehensively and effectively assist in improving memory. Furthermore, the composition of this invention uses all natural traditional Chinese medicine raw materials, which, compared to chemically synthesized drugs, fundamentally avoids significant side effects and safety risks associated with long-term use. Moreover, compared to traditional Chinese medicine preparations with unreasonable ingredient combinations, the scientific formulation of this invention further ensures the effectiveness and safety of the product.

[0024] Secondly, in terms of extraction technology, this invention employs water extraction and / or alcohol extraction, and prepares the extract through reasonable concentration and drying processes (such as spray drying, freeze drying, etc.). Compared with the crude extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, this invention can more fully extract the effective components from the raw materials, improve the utilization rate of effective components, and thus enhance the product efficacy. In terms of dosage form design, this invention prepares the extract into a reconstituteable powder (particle size controlled at 80-200 mesh to ensure reconstitution and solubility), and can add food- or health-product-acceptable excipients (such as sweeteners, flavoring agents, etc.) to improve the taste. Compared with traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as decoctions and pills, this invention has the advantages of convenient administration, easy portability, and good palatability, perfectly meeting the convenience needs of consumers in today's fast-paced lifestyle. It solves the defects of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as inconvenience in administration, poor taste, and lack of dosage forms suitable for modern life. Detailed Implementation

[0057] Experiment to verify the effect of assisting in improving memory

[0058] Experimental materials

[0059] Laboratory animals: 60 male SPF-grade ICR mice, weighing 20-22g, provided by a laboratory animal center;

[0060] Experimental samples: The refillable compositions prepared in Examples 1 and 3 of this invention are respectively numbered as Sample A and Sample C;

[0061] Control sample: A mixture of excipients without Chinese herbal extracts (10 parts maltodextrin + 5 parts xylitol + 0.5 parts xanthan gum), designated as sample D.

[0062] Experimental grouping and administration method

[0063] Sixty mice were randomly divided into four groups of 15 mice each: a blank control group (no medication, normal diet and water), sample group A, sample group C, and sample group D. Sample groups A, C, and D were administered the medication by gavage at a dose of 0.5 g / kg·d (based on the dry weight of the composition). The samples were dissolved in physiological saline and then administered by gavage. The blank control group was administered an equal volume of physiological saline by gavage. The administration was continued for 30 days.

[0064] Experimental Method (Morris Water Maze Experiment)

[0065] Thirty days after administration, the learning and memory abilities of mice were tested using the Morris water maze test, which consisted of two phases: a navigation experiment and a space exploration experiment.

[0066] (1) Positioning and navigation experiment: Training was conducted for 5 consecutive days, 4 times a day. Each time, the mice were placed in the water from different quadrants. The time it took for the mice to find the underwater hidden platform (escape latency) was recorded. If the mice did not find the platform within 60 seconds, they were guided to stay on the platform for 10 seconds. The escape latency was recorded as 60 seconds.

[0067] (2) Space exploration experiment: On the 6th day, the platform was removed and the mice were placed in the water from the entry point in the opposite quadrant of the original platform. The number of times the mice crossed the original platform position and the percentage of time spent in the quadrant where the original platform was located were recorded within 60 seconds.

[0068] Experimental results

[0069] The results of the navigation experiment (Table 1) showed that as the number of training days increased, the escape latency of mice in each group gradually shortened. However, the escape latency of sample A and sample C shortened significantly faster than that of the blank control group and sample D. On the 5th day of training, the escape latency of sample A was (12.3±2.5) seconds, sample C was (15.8±3.1) seconds, the blank control group was (28.6±4.2) seconds, and sample D was (27.9±3.8) seconds. The differences between sample A and sample C and the blank control group and sample D were statistically significant (P<0.05).

[0070] The results of the space exploration experiment (Table 2) show that the number of times mice in sample A crossed the original platform within 60 seconds was (6.2±1.3) times, and the proportion of time spent in the original platform quadrant was (42.5±3.8)%; the number of times mice in sample C crossed the platform was (5.1±1.1) times, and the proportion of time spent in the original platform quadrant was (38.2±3.5)%; the number of times mice in the blank control group crossed the platform was (2.3±0.8) times, and the proportion of time spent in the blank control group was (25.3±2.6)%; and the number of times mice in sample D crossed the platform was (2.5±0.9) times, and the proportion of time spent in the blank control group was (26.1±2.9)%. The number of times mice crossed the platform and the proportion of time spent in the blank control group and sample D were significantly higher than those in sample A and sample C (P<0.05), and sample A performed better than sample C.
