Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically to a flavored turtle and deer paste and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone strength and increased risk of fractures. Its main pathological features are reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone microstructure. Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease" because it often has no obvious symptoms in its early stages. However, as the disease progresses, it can lead to back pain, decreased height, kyphosis, and the most serious consequence is fragility fractures (such as hip fractures and vertebral compression fractures), which can cause severe disability, significantly reduce the quality of life of older adults, and increase mortality. Western medicine's prevention and treatment strategies mainly include calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as the use of drugs that inhibit bone resorption or promote bone formation (such as bisphosphonates and selective estrogen receptor modulators), aiming to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk.
[0003] In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, osteoporosis is often categorized under "bone weakness," "bone pain," or "kidney deficiency." The core pathogenesis in TCM lies in the deficiency of kidney essence. The kidney governs bones and produces marrow; insufficient kidney essence leads to malnourishment of the bones, resulting in skeletal fragility. Furthermore, spleen dysfunction (insufficient production of qi and blood) and qi stagnation and blood stasis are also important pathogenic factors. Currently, TCM plays a crucial auxiliary and regulatory role in the treatment of osteoporosis. Clinically, based on the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment, methods such as tonifying the kidney and replenishing essence, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, and promoting blood circulation are employed. These methods include oral herbal medicine, acupuncture, and massage to regulate the balance of qi and blood throughout the body. Studies have shown that TCM can effectively relieve bone pain, improve back function, and increase bone density, and may have a synergistic effect and reduce toxicity when used in combination with Western medicine. Therefore, TCM provides a safe and individualized collaborative management plan for osteoporosis for patients who are unsuitable for or intolerant of Western medicine treatment, as well as those who require long-term conditioning to improve their constitution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology, meet people's needs, and provide a flavored tortoise and deer antler paste and its applications. The flavored tortoise and deer antler paste of this invention uses a formula of "tortoise and deer antler to invigorate the Du meridian and replenish marrow as the principal ingredient, and spleen and kidney qi and blood to harmonize as the assistant ingredient," directly targeting the core pathogenesis of "kidney essence deficiency and malnourishment of bones and collaterals." The mechanism is as follows: Nourishing essence and replenishing marrow: With deer antler glue (10g to warm and unblock the Du meridian) and prepared tortoise shell (5g to subdue yang and nourish yin) as the core of "blood and flesh with affection", it works together with donkey-hide gelatin (10g) and wine-processed polygonatum to improve the efficiency of bone collagen synthesis, and repairs bone microstructure more precisely than calcium supplements alone. Spleen and Kidney Synergy: Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis pilosula (10g each) strengthen the Qi transformation of the middle Jiao, efficiently converting the essence of food and water into raw materials for kidney essence, thus overcoming obstacles to nutrient absorption; Invigorating blood circulation and relieving pain: Achyranthes bidentata (10g) guides the medicine into the collaterals to activate osteoblasts, while safflower (5g) slightly clears stagnation in the Du meridian, significantly improving bone pain and mobility.
[0005] Compared to bisphosphonates, its herbal paste formulation provides continuous bone nutrition delivery, avoiding the risks of reflux esophagitis and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Compared to conventional kidney-tonifying Chinese medicine, it is designed with a dual yin-yang tonifying approach using Cuscuta chinensis and Lycium barbarum (10g each), providing patients with an integrated solution of "strengthening bones, relieving pain, and preventing fractures" for both postmenopausal (estrogen deficiency) and age-related (growth hormone decline) osteoporosis.
[0006] To achieve the purpose of this invention, the flavored tortoise and deer paste of this invention contains preparation A and preparation B, as well as donkey-hide gelatin and deer antler gelatin.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0022] The terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” “containing,” or any other variations thereof, as used herein, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, step, method, article, or apparatus that includes the listed elements is not necessarily limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or elements inherent to such composition, step, method, article, or apparatus.
[0023] The indefinite articles “a” and “an” preceding an element or component of this invention do not impose any limitation on the quantity (i.e., number of times) of the element or component. Therefore, “an” or “a” should be interpreted as including one or at least one, and the singular form of an element or component also includes the plural form, unless the quantity clearly refers only to the singular form.
[0024] Furthermore, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., described below refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms are not necessarily directed at the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, each dose of the flavored turtle and deer paste contains, by weight, 10g of Polygonatum sibiricum, 10g of Lycium barbarum, 5g of processed tortoise shell, 5g of safflower, 10g of Codonopsis pilosula, 10g of Cuscuta chinensis, 10g of Astragalus membranaceus, 10g of donkey-hide gelatin, 10g of deer antler gelatin, and 10g of Achyranthes bidentata.
[0026] The preparation method includes the following steps: According to the required ingredient ratio, decoct preparation A and preparation B together, filter the decoction and concentrate it to a thick paste (the ratio of the decoction before and after is 2:1), add donkey-hide gelatin and deer antler gelatin to melt, simmer over low heat to thicken the paste, cool and seal it, and store it at 2-3℃.
[0027] Other herbal paste products on the market have a slow onset of action, generally requiring 1-3 months of continuous use to see results, and their taste is unpleasant, leading to poor compliance. This herbal paste product adjusts the dosage, increasing the content of nourishing and replenishing herbs such as tortoise shell, polygonatum, donkey-hide gelatin, and deer antler gelatin. By decocting and mixing the herbs in two groups, the utilization rate of traditional Chinese medicine is improved, enhancing the effects of nourishing and replenishing the essence and marrow, and tonifying the liver and kidneys. Furthermore, the taste has been adjusted to be slightly sweet, ensuring compliance. Generally, effects can be seen after about 10-15 days of use, and clinical feedback has been positive.

[0066] Auxiliary examinations: Whole-body bone mineral density test (October 9, 2025): Average T-score of lumbar spine L2-L4 = -2.5, T-score of left femoral neck = -2.4, indicating moderate osteoporosis. Rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP antibody, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein were all negative, ruling out rheumatoid arthritis.
[0067] Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis: Bone atrophy (Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency, resulting in malnourishment of tendons and bones) Western medical diagnosis: Moderate postmenopausal osteoporosis Treatment principle: Nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish yin and clear heat, strengthen muscles and bones. The prescription is as follows: 10g of wolfberry, 5g of prepared tortoise shell, 10g of donkey-hide gelatin, 10g of deer antler gelatin (Dong'e), 10g of codonopsis, 10g of dodder seed, 10g of wine-processed polygonatum, 10g of astragalus, 5g of safflower, and 10g of achyranthes bidentata.
[0068] The above is a one-day dosage. Prepare two packets of the paste. Take one packet each time, twice daily, with warm water after breakfast and dinner. Continue for 15 days, then return for a follow-up appointment. Take warm after breakfast and dinner. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and fried foods. Avoid staying up late and maintain emotional stability. Return for a follow-up appointment after 15 days. During this period, it is recommended to drink approximately 2000ml of water daily and engage in light exercise such as walking or Tai Chi, avoiding strenuous activity.
[0069] Follow-up visit (15 days after starting medication) Chief complaint: Significant reduction in general body pain and heel pain; improvement in dry mouth, irritability, and night sweats.
[0070] Symptom improvement: The patient reported significant relief from lower back and knee pain; the morning heel tingling sensation had largely disappeared, and mobility was restored. Dry mouth and dry eyes symptoms lessened; hot flashes in the palms, soles, and chest, and night sweats significantly decreased; sleep quality improved, with the patient sleeping 6-7 hours per night. Bowel movements became more regular, and mental and emotional well-being was more stable than before.
[0071] Four diagnostic methods data: Visual examination: The patient's mental state has improved, the anxiety has lessened, and the skin is more moisturized than before; the tongue is pale red with a thin white coating, the body fluids are gradually returning, and the cracks are becoming shallower.
[0072] Auscultation: The patient's voice is calm and gentle, with no dry cough.
[0073] Medical history: Occasionally experiences mild soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, without a fixed location of pain; slightly dry mouth; good appetite and sleep; regular bowel movements.
[0074] Palpation: The pulse is thready and slightly rapid, more moderate than before, with the cun pulse slightly more prominent.
[0075] Evaluation of therapeutic effect: After taking the medication, the liver and kidney yin deficiency was nourished, the deficiency heat was cleared, and the tendons and bones were nourished. Therefore, the pain and accompanying yin deficiency symptoms were significantly improved, and the therapeutic effect was good. Subsequent treatment should continue to nourish yin and replenish essence to consolidate the therapeutic effect, and long-term management of osteoporosis is recommended.
[0076] Comparative Example 1 Yang Moumou's gender / age: male, 68 years old Chief complaint: Lower back pain and weakness for 5 years. After taking Jiawei Guilu Gao for 3 months, the pain was slightly reduced, but the weakness and abdominal distension worsened.
[0077] Medical history: Long-term irregular eating habits, preference for raw and cold foods. Diagnosed with osteoporosis (T-score -3.1). No other major medical history.
[0078] Immediate diagnosis: Symptoms: lower back and knee pain and coldness, heaviness in the body, significant fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension after meals, and loose stools.
[0079] Tongue and pulse: The tongue is pale and swollen with teeth marks on the edges, the coating is thick and greasy, and the pulse is deep and slippery.
[0080] Treatment process: 10g of wolfberry, 5g of prepared tortoise shell, 10g of donkey-hide gelatin, 10g of deer antler gelatin (Dong'e), 10g of dodder seed, 10g of wine-processed polygonatum, 1 bag of red astragalus, 5g of safflower, 10g of Sichuan achyranthes root (the above-mentioned modified tortoise and deer paste removed 10g of codonopsis).
[0081] Usage: The above is a one-day dosage. Prepare two packets of the paste. Take one packet each time, twice daily, with warm water after breakfast and dinner. Continue for 15 days, then return for a follow-up appointment. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and fried foods after breakfast and dinner. Avoid staying up late and maintain emotional stability. Return for a follow-up appointment after 15 days. During this period, it is recommended to drink approximately 2000ml of water daily and engage in light exercise such as walking or Tai Chi, avoiding strenuous activity.
[0082] Initially, the lower back pain was slightly relieved, but later, significant abdominal distension, indigestion, and a worsening feeling of heaviness in the body appeared. Overall, there was no significant improvement in mental state, and follow-up bone density tests showed no significant increase.
[0083] Analysis of reasons for unsatisfactory results: The patient's spleen and stomach function was insufficient, so after taking this herbal paste, there was no significant improvement in the lower back pain, and symptoms of indigestion appeared. At this time, the correct treatment should be to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm. At this time, Codonopsis pilosula should be added to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, thereby increasing the digestive function of the spleen and stomach.
[0084] Comparative Example 2: Osteoporosis with Fractures Due to Blood Stasis and Obstruction of Collaterals Patient Information: Gender / Age: Female, 72 years old Chief complaint: Six months after surgery for a compression fracture of the lumbar spine, the patient experiences persistent pain and limited mobility.
[0085] Medical history: Diagnosed with osteoporosis 2 years ago, and intermittently took calcium supplements. Six months ago, suffered a compression fracture of the L1 vertebra due to a minor sprain and underwent minimally invasive surgery.
[0086] Immediate diagnosis: Symptoms: Fixed stabbing pain at the fracture site, especially at night; stiffness in the lower back; fear of touching; sallow complexion; lower back pain; difficulty in bearing weight.
[0087] Tongue and pulse: The tongue is dark purple with ecchymosis, the sublingual veins are tortuous, and the pulse is deep and hesitant.
[0088] Imaging: X-ray shows that the fracture line is still blurred and the local callus is growing slowly.
[0089] Treatment process: 10g of wolfberry, 5g of prepared tortoise shell, 10g of donkey-hide gelatin, 10g of deer antler gelatin (Dong'e), 10g of codonopsis, 10g of dodder seed, 10g of wine-processed polygonatum, 10g of astragalus, 10g of achyranthes root (the above-mentioned modified tortoise and deer paste omits 5g of safflower).

Continue for 15 days, then return for a follow-up appointment. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and fried foods after breakfast and dinner. Avoid staying up late and maintain emotional stability. Return for a follow-up appointment after 15 days. During this period, it is recommended to drink approximately 2000ml of water daily and engage in light exercise such as walking or Tai Chi, avoiding strenuous activity.
[0091] The patient felt better, but the stinging pain at the fracture site and the soreness in the lower back had not significantly subsided. In addition to tonifying the liver and kidneys, the treatment of osteoporosis should also focus on promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving pain. The treatment should emphasize both promoting blood circulation and tonifying the kidneys, and even promote blood circulation first and then tonify. Safflower can be used to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve pain.
[0092] Comparative Example 3 Patient Information: Gender / Age: Female, 58 years old Chief complaint: Multiple bone pains, hot flashes, and insomnia for 2 years.
[0093] Medical history: Menopausal for 5 years, with significant hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, and insomnia for the past 2 years, accompanied by heel pain and dull pain in the hypochondrium. Bone mineral density test showed a T-score of -2.8.
[0094] Immediate diagnosis: Symptoms: Bone pain is worse at night, accompanied by five-center heat (heat in the palms, soles, and chest), flushed cheeks in the afternoon, dry mouth and throat, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and dreaminess.
[0095] Tongue and pulse: The tongue is red with little moisture, the coating is thin and yellow, and the pulse is thready and rapid.
[0096] Treatment regimen: 10g wolfberry, 5g prepared tortoise shell, 10g donkey-hide gelatin, 10g deer antler gelatin (Dong'e), 10g codonopsis, 10g dodder seed, 10g wine-processed polygonatum, 10g astragalus, 5g safflower (the above modified tortoise and deer paste removed 10g of achyranthes bidentata).
[0097] Usage: The above is a one-day dosage. Prepare two packets of the paste. Take one packet each time, twice daily, with warm water after breakfast and dinner. Continue for 15 days, then return for a follow-up appointment. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and fried foods after breakfast and dinner. Avoid staying up late and maintain emotional stability. Return for a follow-up appointment after 15 days. During this period, it is recommended to drink approximately 2000ml of water daily and engage in light exercise such as walking or Tai Chi, avoiding strenuous activity.
[0098] After taking the medication, the patient experienced worsening dry mouth and constipation, and nighttime bone pain and a feeling of heat became more pronounced, along with exacerbated insomnia. The patient's condition deteriorated due to the excessive use of liver and kidney tonifying drugs, potentially leading to upward flaring of deficiency fire. The addition of Achyranthes bidentata (Chuan Niu Xi) was intended to guide the fire downwards while simultaneously enhancing the liver and kidney tonifying effects.
