Solution Overview

Problem

Existing drugs have single effects and cannot meet the comprehensive requirements of sub-health groups, such as liver protection, oxidation resistance, and immunity enhancement.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising a selenium-containing compound, a glutathione precursor, and a zinc-containing compound, specifically including selenium-enriched yeast, N-acetylcysteine, and zinc gluconate, which is formulated to provide liver protection, oxidation resistance, and immune efficacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing single-function drugs are used, then the treatment is simple, but the comprehensive effects (liver protection, oxidation resistance, immunity enhancement) cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive effectsVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional components (selenium-containing compound, glutathione precursor, zinc-containing compound) into a single composition that delivers liver protection, oxidation resistance, and immunity enhancement simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity by integrating multiple functions into one coordinated formulation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite composition containing three types of compounds with complementary functions: selenium-containing compounds for oxidation resistance, glutathione precursors for liver protection, and zinc-containing compounds for immunity enhancement. This composite approach achieves comprehensive effects while maintaining a manageable composition structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If multiple components are combined to achieve comprehensive effects, then the therapeutic efficacy is improved, but the formulation stability and bioavailability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidformulation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the dosage ranges of each component (selenium-containing compound: 5-50 parts, glutathione precursor: 200-1200 parts, zinc-containing compound: 20-105 parts) to achieve synergistic effects while maintaining formulation stability and bioavailability, demonstrating how parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between efficacy and stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
