Liquid NADH Supplement Stabilization via pH Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing NADH dietary supplements have limited absorption due to the human digestive system's inability to fully absorb solid-pill forms, and intravenous delivery methods are expensive and require medical professionals.
Innovation Solution
A liquid dietary supplement containing NADH, blended with water and other components like collagen, vitamins, and minerals, is synthesized using a cold fill production process to enhance absorption and affordability, with a pH of less than 4.0 for stabilization and preservation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If solid-pill-based NADH supplements are used, then the supplement is easy to manufacture and store, but the human digestive system cannot fully absorb the NADH, reducing efficacy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state of NADH from solid (in pills) to liquid form, and adjusts the pH parameter to below 4.0 to create a stable liquid supplement that is fully absorbable by the human digestive system, thereby resolving the contradiction between absorption efficacy and manufacturing ease
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite liquid supplement formulation combining NADH with other components in a liquid matrix with controlled pH, enabling both high absorption efficacy and feasible manufacturing through cold fill processes
2Reliability
If intravenous-based delivery systems are used, then NADH absorption is maximized, but the system becomes expensive and requires medical professionals for delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a self-administerable liquid supplement that users can take themselves without requiring medical professionals, while maintaining high absorption rates through the liquid formulation with pH below 4.0, thus resolving the contradiction between absorption rate and accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid formulation with specific pH acts as an intermediary between intravenous delivery (high absorption) and oral solid supplements (low absorption), providing a middle ground that achieves high absorption through oral administration without requiring medical intervention
3Reliability
If liquid form NADH supplement is created, then absorption is improved, but stability and preservation become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the pH parameter to below 4.0 to create an acidic environment that preserves NADH stability in liquid form while maintaining high absorption efficiency, resolving the contradiction between absorption efficiency and compositional stability
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The liquid supplement achieves high absorption rates of NADH and other nutrients, boosting energy levels, mental clarity, and athletic performance, while being more accessible and cost-effective than traditional methods.
Implementation Method 1
The mixed component is a liquid at ambient conditions having a pH of less than 4.0

AI summary
A dietary supplement and method for synthesis of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the method, an NADH component is provided which includes NADH from about 0.1% to about 0.5% blended with water from about 40% to about 84% both by weight of the dietary supplement. A supplement component from about 9% to about 99% by weight of the dietary supplement is also provided. The supplement component may include collagen in about 2% to about 10%, vitamins in about 0.00001% to about 3%, and minerals in about 0.000002% to about 0.5% all by weight of the dietary supplement. A mixed component is formed by mixing the NADH component with the supplement component at ambient conditions. The mixed component is a liquid at ambient conditions having a pH of less than 4.0. The mixed component is subjected to a cold fill production process.
