Lactococcus Bacterium Fatigue Recovery Composition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for recovering from and preventing fatigue, such as dietary improvements and specific food materials, are not easily practiced daily and lack effective solutions for physiological fatigue, especially post-exercise fatigue accompanied by reduced blood testosterone levels.
Innovation Solution
A composition and anti-fatigue agent comprising Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis JCM5805, a type of Lactococcus bacterium, which is effective in recovering from and preventing physical fatigue by alleviating physiological fatigue and reducing the desire for rest and discomfort, even when used continuously without side effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional food materials (plant extracts, fermented products) are used for fatigue recovery, then some fatigue amelioration effect is achieved, but they are not easily practiced daily and lack effectiveness for physiological fatigue with reduced testosterone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the key parameter from general fermented products to a specific Lactococcus bacterium strain (JCM 5805) with proven ability to restore testosterone levels. This specific strain selection optimizes the effectiveness parameter for physiological fatigue while maintaining ease of use through simple daily intake of the bacterial preparation.
2Duration of action of moving object
If existing anti-fatigue compositions are used, then endurance during exercise may be enhanced, but they do not effectively recover fatigue after exercise or prevent fatigue accumulation
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of focusing on enhancing endurance during exercise (pre-exercise approach), the patent inverts the approach by targeting post-exercise fatigue recovery and fatigue accumulation prevention. The Lactococcus bacterium JCM 5805 is specifically selected for its ability to restore testosterone levels after exercise, addressing the recovery phase rather than the performance phase.
3Reliability
If lifestyle improvements (sleep, meal, exercise) are implemented for fatigue recovery, then fatigue amelioration can be achieved, but it is not easy to practice these improvements every day
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential fatigue-recovery component from complex lifestyle modifications and concentrates it into a single Lactococcus bacterium preparation. Instead of requiring simultaneous optimization of sleep, diet, and exercise, the invention isolates the key active element (JCM 5805 bacterium) that can be administered through simple daily intake, dramatically reducing the complexity of implementation.
