Adaptogenic Composition for Stress Relief and Sleep
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for compositions that effectively relieve stress, improve focus, relaxation, and sleep quality, as existing stress-relieving compositions are inadequate in addressing these specific requirements.
Innovation Solution
A composition combining Ashwagandha, Shankapushpi, Gotu-Kola, and additional ingredients like Theanine, Calamus, Shilajit, Klamath algae, Cordyceps, and sweet-tasting components, formulated into a food or beverage, which includes extracts and powders of these plants, optimized for adaptogenic effects and improved bioavailability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing stress-relieving compositions are used, then some stress relief may be achieved, but they are inadequate in addressing specific requirements for improving focus, relaxation, and sleep quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines three specific plant extracts (Ashwagandha, Shankapushpi, and Gotu-Kola) into a single composition, where each component contributes different stress-relieving properties. This merging of multiple natural substances creates a comprehensive formula that addresses various aspects of stress including focus, relaxation, and sleep quality, resolving the inadequacy of single-substance or less-targeted formulations.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite botanical composition where Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Shankapushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis), and Gotu-Kola (Centella asiatica) work synergistically. Each plant extract contributes unique adaptogenic and nootropic properties, forming a composite material that provides broader and more reliable stress relief than individual components alone.
2Reliability
If plant extracts are used for stress relief, then adaptogenic effects are achieved, but rapid absorption and enhanced effectiveness compared to prior art are needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies precise parameters for each component including plant parts used (roots, aerial parts), extract concentrations (50-500mg Ashwagandha, 50-250mg Shankapushpi, 50-200mg Gotu-Kola per serving), and standardization levels. These controlled parameters optimize the bioavailability and absorption rate of active constituents while maintaining reliable adaptogenic effects, improving upon less-defined prior art formulations.
