Solution Overview

Problem

Current fertility treatments involving hormonal or pharmacological stimulation for female infertility often come with side effects and do not adequately address oxidative stress, which affects fertility, necessitating the development of new compounds to enhance fertility while minimizing side effects.

Innovation Solution

A synergistic composition combining L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine, N-acetyl cysteine, specific vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and microelements, such as vitamin D, vitamin E, and selenium, is used to promote female fertility during hormonal or pharmacological stimulation, reducing side effects and improving fertility outcomes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fertility hormones or drugs are used to stimulate ovulation, then ovulation can be induced or regulated, but side effects occur and oxidative stress is not adequately addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveovulation induction effectivenessVSAvoidside effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, copper, manganese) with specific dosages in a composite formulation. This composite approach addresses oxidative stress through synergistic interactions between different antioxidants, while the specific dosage ranges are optimized to achieve therapeutic effects without causing side effects associated with excessive antioxidant intake.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise dosage parameters for each antioxidant component (e.g., vitamin C: 50-500 mg, vitamin E: 10-400 IU, selenium: 10-200 mcg) to optimize the therapeutic effect. By controlling these parameters within defined ranges, the formulation achieves effective oxidative stress reduction while avoiding toxicity and side effects that occur with uncontrolled or excessive dosing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If higher doses of antioxidants are used to combat oxidative stress, then fertility may improve, but harmful effects or toxicity may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoxidative stressVSAvoidtoxicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent defines specific dosage ranges for each antioxidant (e.g., vitamin C: 50-500 mg, vitamin E: 10-400 IU, selenium: 10-200 mcg, zinc: 1-30 mg, copper: 1-10 mg, manganese: 1-10 mg) that are sufficient to combat oxidative stress but remain below toxic thresholds. This parameter optimization ensures therapeutic effectiveness while preventing adverse effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a balanced formulation where multiple antioxidants work together as intermediaries to moderate each other's effects. The synergistic interaction between vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, copper, and manganese creates a buffered system that achieves oxidative stress reduction without the toxicity associated with high doses of individual antioxidants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
