AI Technical Summary
Existing food supplements do not effectively address muscle cramps, pain, fatigue, and physical exhaustion, particularly during or after intense physical activity, nor do they adequately replenish essential electrolytes and minerals.
A dietary supplement containing specific vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, Biotin, Ubiquinone, MCT, Magnesium malate, Magnesium citrate, and chelated Manganese) that enhance enzymatic processes to improve energy production, reduce muscle fatigue, and relieve cramps and pain by replenishing electrolytes.
The supplement improves energy production, reduces muscle fatigue and pain, and enhances physical performance by enhancing enzymatic processes and replenishing electrolytes, effectively relieving cramps and muscle pain.
Abstract
Description
"Dietary supplement intended to relieve muscle cramps and pain."
[0001] This Invention Patent refers to an innovative food supplement, preferably produced in tablet form, intended to relieve cramps and muscle pain, as well as reduce fatigue and physical tiredness, increasing physical performance and promoting a feeling of well-being.
[0002] The state of the art regarding this subject matter consists of a wide variety of food supplements for various purposes; however, even after searching available patent databases, no document was found that deals with a food supplement intended for the purpose of this application, now filed with this institute.
[0003] By definition, cramps are painful, involuntary, and self-limiting muscle contractions in a specific area. They usually occur at night or after vigorous physical activity and are most common in the calf, although they can also occur in the abdomen, feet, and back.
[0004] It should be noted that cramps can occur because lactic acid, a substance produced when our body burns glucose during physical activity, accumulates excessively within the muscle, causing fatigue and triggering spasms and pain. Additionally, an imbalance of mineral salts in the muscle can occur. When engaging in intense physical exercise for an extended period, a person tends to sweat, and along with the sweat, the body eliminates a large amount of electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, which are essential ions for muscle fiber contraction. When these substances are not replenished, the muscle acts in a disorganized manner, causing it to contract rapidly without relaxing, resulting in the sharp pains.

[0005] But how to relieve cramps? Firmly massage the affected muscles with circular movements; adopt positions that stretch the affected muscles in an attempt to relax them; and even apply heat to the affected area. These are generally the common recommendations from the medical community.
[0006] After many studies and evaluations, the present food supplement was formulated, which achieves the following effects: Improves energy production by the cell at the mitochondrial level; reduces fatigue; reduces muscle pain related to the difficulty of muscle fibers in producing energy (ATP); and improves physical performance in strenuous situations (physical activities that lead to fatigue).
[0007] Aiming to surpass and differentiate itself from the state of the art, the present "DIETARY SUPPLEMENT INTENDED TO RELIEVE CRAMPS AND MUSCLE PAIN" was developed, which will henceforth be referred to simply as "SUPPLEMENT".
[0008] In this "SUPPLEMENT", each dragee (360mg) contains 1mg of Vitamin B1; 1.3mg of Vitamin B2; 15mg of Vitamin B3; 2.5mg of Vitamin B5; 39mg of Vitamin B6; 100mg of Ubiquinone; 22mcg (micrograms) of Biotin; 200mg of MCT; 50mg of Magnesium malate; 50mg of Magnesium citrate and 0.8mg of chelated Manganese.
[0009] This "SUPPLEMENT" was developed specifically to relieve cramps. As an enzymatic enhancer, it greatly assists in the clearance of certain organic acids related to anaerobiosis.
[0010] But who can benefit from this "SUPPLEMENT"? People who suffer from cramps, whether at rest, related to sports, or related to diseases such as liver cirrhosis and dialysis-dependent renal failure; people who suffer from chronic pain – although they are the most benefited, relief from pain intensity is frequently observed in other patterns of chronic pain (fibromyalgia and chronic low back pain). Petition 870240088177, dated 10 / 15 / 2024, page 6 / 12 These are examples) and also people who experience premature fatigue and physical exhaustion related to excessive exertion.
[0011] Next, the main components of the formulation of this "SUPPLEMENT" will be explained, along with a summary of its known benefits.
[0012] Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is easily depleted by the body, and deficiency is very common in alcohol users. It is a cofactor in reactions that link glycolysis, which occurs in the cell cytoplasm, to the Krebs cycle, which occurs in the mitochondria.
[0013] Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is an important constituent of FAD and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. FAD becomes an important source of ATP (energy) in the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
[0014] Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is a catalyst in the biochemical reaction that transforms lactate into pyruvate, thus minimizing its accumulation and consequent muscle fatigue.
[0015] Vitamin B5 (Pantothenate) plays a key role in the formation of CoA (or coenzyme A), which enters the Krebs cycle in the form of Acetyl-CoA.
[0016] Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) promotes the transformation of pyruvate into alpha-ketophosphorylates, fueling the Krebs cycle in the absence of free amino acids.
[0017] Vitamin B7 (Biotin) is a cofactor of the pyruvate carboxylase enzyme, leading to the production of oxaloacetate, an important component of the mitochondrial Krebs cycle, also supplying the absence of free amino acids.
[0018] Magnesium is a cofactor in several reactions related to energy production by the human body, especially the reactions of the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix.
[0019] Coenzyme Q10 is the fundamental coenzyme in the process of ATP production in the mitochondrial cristae respiratory chain. Petition 870240088177, dated 10 / 15 / 2024, page 7 / 12
[0020] MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides) are a group of triglycerides widely used as a pre-workout supplement in gyms and during physical activity, providing energy that is not absorbed by the lymphatic vessels, unlike all other forms of fat.
[0021] The effects produced by the components of this "SUPPLEMENT" provide relief from cramps, as it is an enzymatic enhancer and helps eliminate certain organic acids related to anaerobiosis.
[0022] Attention should be paid to the twice-daily dosage and to potential absorption problems that may occur in patients with related pathologies (post-bariatric surgery or intestinal diseases, for example). In these conditions, medical supervision is important to adjust the dosage.
[0023] In conclusion, it can be stated that the present "DIETARY SUPPLEMENT INTENDED TO RELIEVE CRAMPS AND MUSCLE PAIN", due to its set of technological innovations, fully meets the conditions to apply for the granting of an Invention Patent. Petition 870240088177, dated 10 / 15 / 2024, page 8 / 12
