Solution Overview

Problem

Current products are inadequate in effectively preventing or treating endothelial dysfunction and associated diseases, sleep disorders, stress, cognition, and sun protection, with a need for improved efficacy compared to existing molecules.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising a specific combination of flavanol monomers and ε-viniferine, derived from Vitis vinifera, in a ratio of 20,000 to 4, exhibits a synergistic effect, enhancing endothelial function and providing antioxidant, UV protection, and cognitive benefits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If single molecules (flavanol monomers or ε-viniferine) are used individually, then the product is simple to manufacture and administer, but the efficacy in improving endothelial function is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficacy in improving endothelial functionVSAvoidcomplexity of composition
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines flavanol monomers and ε-viniferine into a single composition to achieve synergistic effects that improve endothelial function beyond what either molecule can accomplish alone. The merging of these two active ingredients creates a composite product with enhanced therapeutic efficacy for preventing and treating endothelial dysfunction and associated diseases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite composition comprising both flavanol monomers and ε-viniferine, where the combination of different molecular structures and mechanisms of action produces a synergistic effect. This composite approach allows the product to leverage the vasodilatory properties of flavanols and the antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties of ε-viniferine simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If higher doses of flavanol monomers are used to improve cognitive functions, then cognitive benefits increase, but the cost of production and administration increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecognitive function improvementVSAvoiddose requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By combining flavanol monomers with ε-viniferine in a synergistic composition, the patent achieves enhanced cognitive benefits at potentially lower doses than would be required for flavanol monomers alone. The synergistic interaction between the two molecules amplifies the therapeutic effect, allowing for reduced quantity of active ingredients while maintaining or improving efficacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
