Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing compositions for improving intestinal beneficial bacteria are used, then basic intestinal health support is provided, but the ability to effectively promote activation of beneficial bacteria is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveeffectiveness of beneficial bacteria activationVSAvoidhealth improvement rate

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional ingredients including barley sprout extract powder (containing beta-glucan), broccoli sprout extract powder (containing sulforaphane), omega-3 fatty acid, zeolite powder, arginine powder, glutathione powder, chlorella powder, green leaf mussel extract powder, brown rice enzyme powder, Kamut enzyme powder, plantago seed husk powder, Clostridium butyricum strain Miyairi, N-acetylglucosamine, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and croscarmellose sodium. This composite formulation creates synergistic effects that enhance beneficial bacteria activation beyond what single ingredients can achieve, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability of bacteria activation and health improvement productivity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If a single-ingredient composition is used, then the formulation is simple and easy to manufacture, but the ability to promote beneficial bacteria activation is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebeneficial bacteria activation capabilityVSAvoidcomposition complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex composition is divided into functionally distinct segments: prebiotic components (barley sprout extract powder, broccoli sprout extract powder, chlorella powder, plantago seed husk powder) that selectively feed beneficial bacteria; probiotic component (Clostridium butyricum strain Miyairi) that directly introduces beneficial bacteria; antioxidant components (omega-3 fatty acid, arginine powder, glutathione powder, epigallocatechin-3-gallate) that protect bacterial cells; and supporting enzymes (brown rice enzyme powder, Kamut enzyme powder) that aid digestion. This segmentation allows each ingredient to perform its specific function while maintaining overall compositional manageability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Many ingredients in the composition serve multiple functions simultaneously. For example, barley sprout extract powder provides prebiotic beta-glucan that feeds beneficial bacteria, while also offering antioxidant properties and immune-modulating effects. Broccoli sprout extract powder contains sulforaphane that activates beneficial bacteria, while also providing detoxification benefits. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate ingredients for each function, managing composition complexity while enhancing beneficial bacteria activation capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
