Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for improving physical strength and memory comprising L-carnitine and a protein hydrolyzed peptide extracted from pig brain. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, health functional foods or supplements designed to improve physical strength and memory are often developed based on individual ingredients, resulting in a shortage of products that simultaneously address the enhancement of physical endurance and cognitive function.

[0003] In particular, ingredients for physical strength enhancement generally focus on promoting energy metabolism and improving endurance, whereas ingredients for memory improvement play a role in protecting neurons and increasing synaptic plasticity.

[0004] However, due to insufficient research on combination compositions capable of simultaneously improving both of these functions, consumers face the inconvenience of having to take various supplements separately in anticipation of their respective effects.

[0005] In addition, some existing ingredients for improving memory have issues such as low absorption rates or poor stability, and require the inconvenience of long-term consumption.

[0006] Accordingly, a composition is required that can effectively improve memory enhancement ability while simultaneously increasing physical vitality. The problem to be solved

[0007] The technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a composition comprising L-carnitine and a protein hydrolyzed peptide (cerebrolysin) extracted from pig brains to effectively induce physical strength enhancement and memory improvement at the same time.

[0008] Furthermore, the technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to comprehensively achieve physical strength enhancement (e.g., recovery from fatigue after exercise) and brain function improvement (e.g., improvement of memory) by promoting fatty acid metabolism through L-carnitine and promoting neurotrophic factor action through cerebrolysin.

[0009] Furthermore, the technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide the composition in various formulations (tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, etc.) to broaden consumer choices, and to maximize bioavailability by including excipients and absorption-improving ingredients.

[0010] In addition, the technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a composition capable of effective physical strength management and maintenance of cognitive function by adding micronutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin C, and magnesium to L-carnitine and protein hydrolyzed peptides (cerebrolysin) extracted from pig brain to support metabolism and nerve function, and by including antioxidant substances (ginkgo leaf extract, rosemary extract, coenzyme Q10, polyphenols, etc.) to alleviate brain oxidative stress. means of solving the problem

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0015] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0016] To clearly explain the present invention, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and the same reference numerals are assigned to identical or similar components throughout the specification. Accordingly, the reference numerals described above may also be used in other drawings.

[0017] Furthermore, the size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are depicted arbitrarily for convenience of explanation, and thus the present invention is not necessarily limited to what is illustrated. Thickness may be exaggerated in the drawings to clearly represent various layers and regions.

[0018] Furthermore, the expression "identical" in the explanation may mean "substantially identical." In other words, it may be an identicality to the extent that a person with ordinary knowledge would accept it as identical. Other expressions may also be those in which "substantially" has been omitted.

[0019] Furthermore, when a part in the description is described as 'including' a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory may be composed of L-carnitine and a protein hydrolyzed peptide extracted from pig brain.

[0022] L-carnitine promotes energy metabolism in muscles, contributing to physical enhancement such as fatigue recovery and improved endurance, and protein hydrolyzed peptides derived from pig brains have neuroprotective and synaptic plasticity-enhancing effects, which can enhance memory and cognitive function.

[0023] These compositions can be manufactured in various formulations such as tablets, capsules, liquids, and powders, and can be processed into a form with high bioavailability so that they can be efficiently absorbed within the human body.

[0024] In addition, the composition of the present invention may include two active ingredients in a certain ratio, and the composition and mixing ratio may be predetermined so that the energy metabolism-promoting effect of L-carnitine and the neuroprotective effect of protein hydrolyzed peptides can work complementarily.

[0025] Furthermore, the composition can be utilized as a health functional food or a pharmaceutical composition, and can be developed to be consumed by various age groups, particularly for the purpose of relieving physical fatigue and preventing memory decline.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength comprising L-carnitine as a major active ingredient can increase energy production by promoting the oxidation of fatty acids in the human body, thereby reducing muscle fatigue and improving endurance.

[0027] Specifically, L-carnitine facilitates energy metabolism in the body by promoting the β-oxidation process of fatty acids within mitochondria, and can enable efficient energy utilization, especially during prolonged exercise or high-intensity physical activity.

[0028] In addition, supplementing with L-carnitine can help reduce overall physical fatigue by inhibiting the accumulation of fatigue-causing substances in muscle tissue and preventing cell damage through its antioxidant action.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition comprising a peptide obtained by hydrolyzing a protein extracted from a pig's brain as an active ingredient can have the effect of improving memory and concentration by increasing the expression of neurotrophic factors, protecting nerve cells, and improving synaptic plasticity.

[0030] Specifically, after collecting porcine brain tissue, enzymatic hydrolysis is performed through a protein fractionation process, and the hydrolytic enzyme used at this time may be one or more of trypsin, pepsin, and papain selectively used under any conditions.

[0031] After the hydrolysis reaction, peptides with a molecular weight within a certain range are separated and purified to be used as the main component, and in this process, microfiltration and ultrafiltration technologies can be applied to increase the content of low molecular weight peptides.

[0032] The peptide obtained in this way can increase the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), thereby improving the viability of nerve cells and exhibiting a cell-protective effect against oxidative stress.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory includes, together with a main active ingredient, an excipient, a pharmaceutical additive, or an auxiliary ingredient including vitamins and minerals, and these auxiliary ingredients may include micronutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin C, and magnesium for the purpose of improving absorption rate, stabilizing formulation, and enhancing nerve function.

[0034] B vitamins play a role in improving cognitive function by promoting energy metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis in nerve cells, while vitamin C can protect nerve cells and enhance nerve conduction efficiency through its antioxidant action. Additionally, magnesium can support memory enhancement and neuroprotective effects by regulating nerve cell excitability and optimizing neuromuscular function.

[0035] These compositions may be prepared in the form of orally administered tablets, capsules, or powders, and may include appropriate excipients and pharmaceutical additives to maintain the physical and chemical stability of the formulation.

[0036] Through this, the composition can effectively help recover from physical fatigue to enhance physical strength, and at the same time strengthen nerve function to improve memory and cognitive abilities.

[0037] The present invention may be characterized as a composition for improving physical strength and memory, comprising L-carnitine and a protein hydrolyzed peptide extracted from pig brain.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, L-carnitine promotes intracellular energy metabolism and helps recover from fatigue, and porcine brain-derived protein hydrolyzed peptide may contain a bioactive substance effective for protecting neurons and improving memory.

[0039] The two components are combined in appropriate proportions to induce mutually complementary effects; in particular, by increasing the secretion of neurotransmitters and enhancing the activity of brain nerve cells, they can maximize the effect of improving memory. Furthermore, this composition can contribute to improving physical strength by reducing fatigue substances in the body after exercise and increasing the speed of muscle recovery.

[0040] Therefore, the composition of the present invention can be usefully utilized by various consumer groups who require the prevention of memory decline and the promotion of fatigue recovery.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory contains functional ingredients including ginseng extract, Rhodiola rosea extract, Ginkgo biloba extract, and omega-3 fatty acids as active ingredients, and may also include hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and lecithin, etc., as a protective coating agent to increase the stability and bioavailability of said ingredients.

[0042] In addition, the composition of the present invention may additionally include pepper extract (piperine) as a natural bio-promoter to increase the absorption rate during the digestion process, and may apply a shellac or methyl methacrylate coating to impart enteric properties.

[0043] The present composition may be provided in the form of tablets, capsules, powder, or liquid, taking into consideration the user's preference and convenience of administration. Tablets may be manufactured using a wet granulation method, and capsules may be manufactured as hard or soft capsules using gelatin or vegetable hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.

[0044] When provided in powder form, maltodextrin or silica may be added to improve fluidity and dispersibility, and liquid formulations may be manufactured by applying an emulsion system for uniform dispersion of functional ingredients. This can maximize the effects of physical strength enhancement and memory improvement, and by providing it in various formulations, consumer preference and ease of administration can be enhanced.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory may be provided in a liquid form, and special coating or liposomal technology may be applied to maintain the stability of the protein hydrolyzed peptide extracted from pig brain.

[0046] To this end, peptide components can be encapsulated in a nanoscale liposome structure, or a protective layer can be formed using a multilayer polymer coating technology that considers hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties after enzymatic hydrolysis. This coating technology prevents the oxidation and degradation of peptides and can play a role in maximizing their absorption rate in the body.

[0047] For example, methods such as forming a lecithin-based phospholipid layer to encapsulate the peptide, or using natural polymers like chitosan or alginic acid to form a protective barrier, may be applied. Additionally, the lipid bilayer structure of the liposomal peptide is optimized considering bioavailability, and during this process, techniques such as ultrasonic emulsification and high-pressure homogenization can be combined to maintain a uniform particle size. Through this, the composition can be designed to maintain long-term stability even in liquid form and to be effectively delivered to the body without any degradation in efficacy.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory may additionally include ginkgo leaf extract, rosemary extract, coenzyme Q10, or polyphenol to enhance the antioxidant effect.

[0049] Ginkgo leaf extract contains flavonoids and terpenoids, which improve blood flow and provide neuroprotective effects, while rosemary extract removes free radicals through carnosol and rosmarinic acid components, thereby contributing to improved memory.

[0050] In addition, Coenzyme Q10 promotes ATP synthesis within mitochondria to boost cellular energy and increase resistance to oxidative stress, while polyphenols exhibit powerful antioxidant effects that can prevent brain cell aging and enhance cognitive function.

[0051] The mixing ratio of the composition can be optimized to maximize the effects of not only physical strength enhancement but also memory improvement through the combined action of these ingredients, and it can be developed into a formulation that is easy to administer orally.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory may include vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant components that promote nerve cell protection and improve blood circulation.

[0053] This composition includes essential vitamins such as B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E, and may contain minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and selenium. In addition, it may include antioxidant components such as polyphenol compounds, coenzyme Q10, omega-3 fatty acids, and lutein, which can play a role in reducing intracellular oxidative stress and preventing nerve cell damage.

[0054] In particular, B vitamins and magnesium promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters, thereby strengthening brain function and contributing to improved concentration and memory, while coenzyme Q10 and polyphenols can activate mitochondrial function to promote energy metabolism in nerve cells.

[0055] In addition, lutein crosses the blood-brain barrier to perform antioxidant functions within brain tissue, and omega-3 fatty acids can facilitate signal transmission between neural circuits by increasing the fluidity of nerve cell membranes.

[0056] When such a composition is supplied to the body, blood circulation is promoted, facilitating the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, and can suppress the decline in cognitive function by preventing the aging of nerve cells. The composition may be provided in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, or liquids, and may be designed to maintain high bioavailability upon oral administration.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composition for improving physical strength and memory can be manufactured in the form of a highly portable powder stick that can be consumed immediately, taking into consideration the user's convenient consumption.

[0058] To this end, the composition is provided in a powder or liquid state that is uniformly ground and mixed into fine particles, and can be designed so that the user can conveniently open and consume it directly anytime and anywhere.

[0059] The present composition contains, as the main active ingredients, ingredients effective for improving cognitive function and ingredients that enhance physical energy in an optimal ratio, and may contain, for example, red ginseng extract, deer antler powder, ginkgo leaf extract, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B complex, etc.

[0060] In addition, excipients such as fructose, maltodextrin, natural flavorings, and dietary fiber may be included to increase solubility and palatability upon consumption.

[0061] Stick-shaped packaging materials are individually sealed to prevent the contents from deteriorating due to contact with moisture or air, and can be designed to ensure light blocking and preservation by utilizing aluminum coating or multilayer polyethylene film.

[0062] The composition can be provided in single-serving portions so that general consumers can consume it on a daily basis, and has the advantage of being convenient to take at specific times or situations. Consequently, the composition of the present invention can simultaneously promote physical strength enhancement and memory improvement, and by being provided in a form that maximizes portability and convenience of consumption, it can also contribute to the formation of a user's continuous consumption habit.
