Solution Overview

Problem

Current dietary supplements do not effectively address the symptoms of burnout syndrome, a condition resulting from prolonged professional stress, leading to physical and mental exhaustion, as they often provide inadequate and slow responses.

Innovation Solution

A dietary supplement composition comprising α-casein tryptic hydrolysate, Siberian or Asian Ginseng root powder, and lyophilised melon extract, optionally with taurine, administered orally in a specific dosage to combat burnout syndrome, demonstrated through a randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional dietary supplements (vitamins or minerals) are taken to combat burnout syndrome, then some nutritional support is provided, but the response is generally slow and inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in combating burnout symptomsVSAvoidresponse time to show effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple active ingredients (α-casein tryptic hydrolysate, Siberian or Asian Ginseng root powder, and lyophilised melon extract) into a composite dietary supplement formulation. This composite approach creates a synergistic effect that provides both immediate relief and sustained action, resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and response time by delivering multiple mechanisms of action simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If a single ingredient is used in the dietary supplement, then the formulation is simple, but the efficacy against burnout syndrome is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficacy against burnout syndromeVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges three distinct active ingredients with complementary mechanisms of action into a single coordinated formulation. Each ingredient targets different aspects of burnout syndrome (stress response, energy metabolism, neurotransmitter function), and their combination creates a synergistic effect that achieves high efficacy while maintaining formulation manageability through defined proportions and manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
