Solution Overview

Problem

Current nutritional supplements for bladder control often rely on pharmaceuticals with side effects and fail to address the underlying bladder disorder effectively, lacking a natural composition that provides continuous homeostasis and uniformity in treating bladder dysfunction symptoms like overactive bladder.

Innovation Solution

A nutritional supplement composition combining amino acids, vitamins, plant extracts, and essential nutrients, specifically including vitamin D3, prebiotic fiber, pumpkin seed extract, and L-citrulline, which work synergistically to strengthen pelvic muscles, reduce urgency and frequency, and inhibit incontinence by promoting healthy bladder control and overall health.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pharmaceutical drugs are used to treat bladder dysfunction, then symptoms may be suppressed temporarily, but side effects occur and underlying disorder is not effectively addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of treatmentVSAvoidside effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces long-term pharmaceutical dependence with a natural supplement formulation that can be easily discontinued without severe withdrawal effects. The composition uses food-grade ingredients (pumpkin seed extract, vitamin D3, prebiotic fiber, L-citrulline) that are safe for continuous use but can be stopped without harmful consequences, unlike prescription medications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple natural ingredients in a composite formulation: pumpkin seed extract (for muscle relaxation and testosterone conservation), vitamin D3 (for muscle function), prebiotic fiber (for gut health and testosterone production), and L-citrulline (for nitric oxide production and muscle function). This composite approach addresses multiple aspects of bladder dysfunction simultaneously while avoiding pharmaceutical side effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If single-component supplements are used for bladder control, then absorption may be simple, but effectiveness is limited and continuous homeostasis cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of absorptionVSAvoideffectiveness of treatment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple complementary ingredients into a single synergistic formulation. Each component addresses a different aspect of bladder health: pumpkin seed extract for direct muscle relaxation, vitamin D3 for muscle function, prebiotic fiber for hormonal balance, and L-citrulline for nitric oxide production. Together they create a comprehensive solution that single ingredients cannot achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The supplement formulation serves multiple functions simultaneously: it relaxes bladder muscles, strengthens pelvic floor muscles, conserves testosterone, supports nitric oxide production, and promotes overall urogenital health. This multi-functionality allows a single supplement to address various aspects of bladder dysfunction without requiring multiple separate products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Use of energy by moving object

If liquid tinctures with alcohol base are used for bladder control, then absorption is enhanced, but the formulation lacks natural purity and may not provide continuous homeostasis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabsorption rateVSAvoidalcohol content
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state and composition parameters of the supplement from alcohol-based liquid tinctures to a water-based or capsule formulation using food-grade ingredients. This parameter change eliminates alcohol content while maintaining natural purity and safety for continuous use, addressing the harmful effects of alcohol-based formulations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
