Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional amino acids, nitrates, and nitrites have limitations such as slow vasodilating effects, high required doses, and poor bioavailability, which hinder their effectiveness in improving athletic performance and vasodilation in humans.

Innovation Solution

Development of amino acid compositions comprising amino acid nitrate or nitrite compounds, such as Arginine Nitrate, Citrulline Nitrate, and Creatine Nitrate, which are more water soluble and require lower doses to achieve enhanced vasodilation and improved bioabsorption, thereby overcoming the limitations of single administration forms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional amino acids, nitrates, and nitrites are administered alone, then they can provide basic physiological functions, but they exhibit slow vasodilating effects, require high doses, and have poor bioavailability

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveeffectivenessVSAvoidvasodilation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines amino acids (arginine, citrulline, creatine) with nitrates or nitrites to form composite compounds. This merging creates a synergistic effect where the amino acid component enhances bioavailability and the nitrate/nitrite component provides rapid vasodilation, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite chemical compounds by bonding amino acid molecules with nitrate or nitrite groups. These composite materials exhibit properties superior to their individual components, specifically achieving both high bioavailability (from the amino acid) and fast vasodilation (from the nitrate/nitrite), thus resolving the technical contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If conventional amino acids, nitrates, and nitrites are administered alone, then they can provide basic physiological functions, but they require high doses to achieve effective results

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveeffectivenessVSAvoiddose
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By merging amino acids with nitrates or nitrites into single composite compounds, the patent achieves synergistic effects that amplify potency. This allows effective therapeutic results at lower doses compared to administering separate amino acids and nitrates, resolving the contradiction between reliability and quantity of substance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the chemical parameters of the compounds by forming amino acid nitrate or nitrite derivatives. This parameter change (from separate molecules to bonded compounds) fundamentally alters bioavailability and potency characteristics, enabling effective doses to be reduced while maintaining or enhancing therapeutic reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If conventional amino acids, nitrates, and nitrites are administered alone, then they can provide basic physiological functions, but they have poor bioavailability

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveeffectivenessVSAvoidbioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges amino acids with nitrates or nitrites to create compounds that leverage the bioavailability-enhancing properties of amino acids while retaining the vasodilatory effects of nitrates/nitrites. This merging resolves the contradiction by making the nitrate/nitrite component more bioavailable through association with the amino acid structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The composite amino acid nitrate/nitrite compounds exhibit improved bioavailability characteristics compared to pure nitrates or nitrites. The amino acid portion of the composite material facilitates better absorption and utilization by the body, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation (bioavailability).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
