Green Tea Extract Composition for Hormone Regulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for premenstrual syndrome and climacteric symptoms, such as hormone replacement therapies, often come with side effects and long-term medication risks, while existing analgesics only temporarily alleviate pain without addressing emotional anxiety or skin aging issues, necessitating a safer and more effective natural alternative.
Innovation Solution
A composition containing 4-15 wt % of (−)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG) and 4-15 wt % of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in green tea extract, which is administered to prevent, alleviate, or treat female hormone regulation disorders, offering a natural, side-effect-free solution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hormone replacement therapies are used to treat premenstrual syndrome and climacteric symptoms, then symptom relief is achieved, but side effects and long-term medication risks occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and utilizes specific natural compounds (catechins, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenes, sterols) from green tea and other plant sources that can alleviate hormone-related symptoms without the harmful side effects of synthetic hormone replacement therapies. This extraction of beneficial natural components resolves the contradiction by providing effective treatment while eliminating the harmful factors associated with conventional hormone therapies.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs natural plant extracts that can be safely used for extended periods without accumulating harmful effects, replacing long-term hormone medications with safer, naturally-derived alternatives that maintain effectiveness over time without the risks of long-term synthetic hormone use.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If analgesics are used to alleviate pain, then pain relief is achieved temporarily, but emotional anxiety and discomfort remain unresolved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multi-functional plant extracts that simultaneously address multiple symptoms including pain, emotional anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. The natural compounds in the composition work on multiple physiological pathways at once, providing comprehensive relief rather than temporary pain suppression, thus resolving the limitation of single-function analgesics.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional treatments are used for premenstrual syndrome, then some symptoms are alleviated, but skin aging and other long-term effects are not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes plant extracts with multiple bioactive compounds that simultaneously address acute symptoms and long-term health concerns including skin aging. The composition works on multiple physiological systems concurrently, providing both immediate symptom relief and long-term preventive benefits that conventional treatments fail to deliver.
