Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of health food technology, specifically to a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard that strengthens the spleen and promotes digestion. Background Technology

[0002] Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder, clinically manifested primarily as postprandial fullness, early satiety, upper abdominal pain, or burning sensation. The global prevalence is approximately 16%, reaching 8%-23% in Asia. The disease is characterized by a long course and frequent relapses, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. Current Western medicine treatments mainly utilize prokinetic agents, acid-suppressing drugs, and gastric mucosal protectants; however, long-term use may have side effects, and relapse is common. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), based on the theory of "spleen governing transformation and transportation," addresses the issue holistically, demonstrating unique advantages in improving FD symptoms and reducing relapse rates. TCM considers FD to be rooted in "spleen deficiency" and manifested by "qi stagnation," with treatments often employing methods to tonify qi, strengthen the spleen, and promote digestion. Existing technologies include numerous patented TCM formulas and related products that utilize ingredients such as Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard lining, which are both medicinal and edible, for strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion.

[0003] Patent application CN201510768711.8 discloses a traditional Chinese medicine formula for treating indigestion. This patent discloses a compound formula containing ten medicinal herbs: honey, codonopsis, atractylodes macrocephala, poria cocos, licorice, tangerine peel, pinellia ternata, hawthorn, roasted malt, and chicken gizzard lining. The preparation method involves decocting the herbs in water and taking the liquid after meals daily, aiming to address the problem of significant side effects in existing drug treatments for indigestion.

[0004] Patent application CN202110368439X discloses a health food product that strengthens the spleen, aids digestion, and enhances immune function. This invention reveals a health food product composed of medicinal and edible ingredients such as hawthorn, roasted yam, tangerine peel, polygonatum, chicken gizzard lining, and roasted malt. The formula uses roasted yam and polygonatum to strengthen the spleen, while hawthorn, tangerine peel, chicken gizzard lining, and roasted malt aid digestion, aiming to enhance the spleen and stomach's digestive capacity and improve immunity.

[0005] Based on the aforementioned background and similar solutions, the existing technology mainly suffers from the following shortcomings:

[0006] First, the formulas are complex and the efficacy targets are scattered: Taking the patent with patent number "CN2015107687118" as an example, most existing compound formulas contain more than ten kinds of medicinal materials. Although they conform to the theory of "principal, assistant, adjuvant and guide" in traditional Chinese medicine, the ingredients are complex and the relationship between the material basis and the core efficacy targets is difficult to clarify, which is not conducive to the standardization and quality control of modern products.

[0007] Secondly, product form and taste may affect compliance: traditional decoctions may have problems such as poor taste and inconvenience in taking them, which may affect users' long-term compliance. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a composite powder of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard membrane that promotes spleen health and digestion, solving the problems of insufficient standardization and poor taste in existing spleen-strengthening and digestion-promoting compositions.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn and chicken gizzard lining for strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion, which is composed of the following raw materials in the following mass percentages: hawthorn: 30%-40%, malt: 15%-20%, chicken gizzard lining: 10%-20%, yam: 10%-18%, monkey head mushroom: 3%-8%, Poria cocos: 3%-8%, sea buckthorn: 3%-8%, red dates: 1%-5%.

[0010] The preferred ingredients are: hawthorn 35%, malt 18%, chicken gizzard lining 15%, yam 14%, monkey head mushroom 5%, poria cocos 5%, sea buckthorn 5%, and red dates 3%.

[0011] Preferably, a method for preparing a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard membrane that invigorates the spleen and promotes digestion includes the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Raw material pretreatment and extraction: Wash hawthorn, malt, chicken gizzard lining, yam, monkey head mushroom, poria cocos, sea buckthorn, and red dates separately. Put the eight raw materials into a multi-functional extraction tank in sequence and decoct for 50 minutes to obtain a mixed liquid.

[0013] Step 2, solid-liquid separation and concentration: Filter the decoction to remove the dregs and obtain the extract. Concentrate the extract using a vacuum low-temperature concentration device to form a paste.

[0014] Step 3, Drying and Granulation: Put the raw materials into a mixing tank and stir. After stirring, spray dry to obtain powder, and then package and sterilize by irradiation.

[0015] Preferably, the order of decoction in step one is as follows: the water level is 2-3 cm above the total medicinal materials. Then, yam, poria cocos and red dates are put into the extraction tank and decocted at 100 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. Then, monkey head mushroom and chicken gizzard are put into the extraction tank and decocted at 100 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Then, hawthorn, malt and sea buckthorn are put into the extraction tank and decocted for 10 minutes to obtain a mixed liquid.

[0016] This invention provides a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard membrane that invigorates the spleen and promotes digestion. It possesses the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This invention utilizes the organic acids and flavonoids in hawthorn extract and the active ingredients in chicken gizzard extract to stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, enhance the contractility of gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and accelerate gastric emptying. The polysaccharides and saponins in Poria cocos and Dioscorea opposita extracts systematically improve the digestive function of the spleen and stomach by regulating intestinal flora and enhancing immunity. Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides and sea buckthorn flavonoids help maintain and repair the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier. The standardized process of water extraction, separate concentration, mixing and drying ensures the efficient extraction, enrichment and uniform compounding of active ingredients, resulting in a product with high purity and good absorption.

[0018] 2. This invention is applicable to solving indigestion problems in children and adults caused by spleen deficiency and food stagnation. The product is in the form of a pure powder that is easy to dissolve and take. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] This invention provides a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard lining that invigorates the spleen and promotes digestion, which is composed of the following raw materials in the following weight percentages: hawthorn: 30%-40%, malt: 15%-20%, chicken gizzard lining: 10%-20%, yam: 10%-18%, monkey head mushroom: 3%-8%, Poria cocos: 3%-8%, sea buckthorn: 3%-8%, and red dates: 1%-5%.

[0023] Example 2:

[0024] This invention provides a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard lining for strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion. The composition comprises eight medicinal and edible ingredients in specific weight percentages: hawthorn 35%, malt 18%, chicken gizzard lining 15%, yam 14%, monkey head mushroom 5%, Poria cocos 5%, sea buckthorn 5%, and red dates 3%. This formulation is not a simple additive combination, but rather a synergistic system designed and optimized based on the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide" to address the pathogenesis of "spleen deficiency and food stagnation" in children, emphasizing both "digestion (treating the symptoms)" and "strengthening the spleen (treating the root cause)." The principal ingredients (hawthorn + chicken gizzard lining) account for as much as 50%, highlighting the targeted relief of food stagnation symptoms—a key design difference from conventional stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting formulas.

[0025] Example 3:

[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for preparing a compound powder composition of Poria cocos, hawthorn, and chicken gizzard membrane that invigorates the spleen and promotes digestion, comprising the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: Raw material pretreatment and extraction: Wash hawthorn, malt, chicken gizzard lining, yam, monkey head mushroom, poria cocos, sea buckthorn, and red dates separately. Put the eight raw materials into a multi-functional extraction tank in sequence and decoct for 50 minutes to obtain a mixed liquid. The decoction order is as follows: the water level is 2-3 cm above the total amount of medicinal materials. Then, put yam, poria cocos, and red dates into the extraction tank and decoct at 100 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. Then, put monkey head mushroom and chicken gizzard lining into the extraction tank and decoct at 100 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Then, put hawthorn, malt, and sea buckthorn into the extraction tank and decoct for 10 minutes to obtain a mixed liquid.

[0028] Step 2, solid-liquid separation and concentration: Filter the decoction to remove the dregs and obtain the extract. Concentrate the extract using a vacuum low-temperature concentration device to form a paste.

[0029] Step 3, Drying and Granulation: Put the raw materials into a mixing tank and stir. After stirring, spray dry to obtain powder, and then package and sterilize by irradiation.

[0030] The preparation process combines water extraction with a specific route of separate water extraction, concentration, mixing, and drying, rather than simple raw material crushing and mixing. This process more efficiently enriches water-soluble active ingredients (such as polysaccharides, organic acids, and flavonoids), removes impurities, and results in a purer, more easily absorbed, and better-tasting final product. The combination of process and formulation jointly determines the final efficacy and quality of the product.

[0031] The feasibility of the formulation was verified through zebrafish experiments. Poor digestion and decreased peristalsis can lead to intestinal obstruction. Zebrafish are vertebrates with high homology to humans, and their intestinal composition is similar to that of humans, containing endothelial cells, connective tissue, circular muscles, and an outer longitudinal muscle layer. Aluminum sulfate can reduce intestinal peristalsis, inducing poor digestion in zebrafish. After feeding them a specific fluorescent material that is not absorbed by the intestines, it was observed that the intestinal peristalsis of zebrafish with poor digestion was significantly slower, and the fluorescence intensity in the intestines was significantly brighter than that of normal zebrafish.

[0032] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
