Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing maca root products are not effective in significantly reducing inflammatory markers and often cause undesirable side effects, and there is a need for improved treatments for sexual dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and other health issues.
Innovation Solution
Specific blends of maca root varieties, particularly combinations of black, red, and yellow maca roots, are formulated into nutritional supplements to reduce inflammatory cytokines and enhance libido and treat sexual dysfunction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If single variety maca root products are used, then the product is simple to manufacture, but the effectiveness in reducing inflammatory markers is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple maca root varieties (yellow, red, and black maca) into a single blended product. This merging of different varieties creates a synergistic formulation that enhances the anti-inflammatory effects compared to single variety products, directly resolving the contradiction between simplicity and effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite maca root product by blending different maca varieties with distinct phytochemical profiles. Yellow maca contributes to general wellness, red maca provides anti-inflammatory benefits, and black maca enhances libido. This composite approach achieves superior effectiveness in reducing inflammatory markers while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional maca root products are used, then the manufacturing process is straightforward, but undesirable side effects occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selecting specific maca root varieties with targeted properties for specific health benefits. Red maca is selected for its anti-inflammatory properties to address inflammation-related side effects, while black maca is selected for libido enhancement. This targeted selection allows the product to maintain ease of manufacture while reducing undesirable side effects through precise compositional control.
3Reliability
If higher doses of maca root are used to improve effectiveness, then the therapeutic benefit increases, but the risk of side effects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the compositional parameters by using specific ratios of different maca root varieties (yellow, red, and black maca) rather than simply increasing the total dose of a single variety. This parameter change allows the product to achieve enhanced therapeutic benefits through synergistic interactions while maintaining a dose level that minimizes side effects.
