Solution Overview

Problem

Current memory improvement methods, including traditional foods and nootropic drugs, are either ineffective or come with side effects, necessitating a safe and long-term health food solution for enhancing memory without toxicity or adverse effects.

Innovation Solution

A memory improving composition combining Arillus Longan, Poria, Semen Nelumbinis, enzymatic extract of Semen Juglandis, phosphatidylserine, and taurine, where the enzymatic extract is produced through hydrolysis of walnut protein with alkaline endoprotease Alcalase 2.4L and complex protease Protamex, is used to create a synergistic effect for brain metabolism and memory enhancement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional food and crude medicine are consumed over a long period to improve memory, then the memory improvement effect is gradual and sustained, but the effect is not outstanding and requires long-term consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory improvement effectVSAvoidconsumption duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple ingredients (Arillus Longan, Poria, Semen Nelumbinis, enzymatic extract of Semen Juglandis, phosphatidylserine, and taurine) into a composite health food formulation. This combination creates synergistic effects that enhance memory improvement more effectively than single ingredients, while maintaining safety for long-term consumption. The merging of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients with modern nutritional components resolves the contradiction by achieving outstanding memory improvement effects without requiring excessive consumption duration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If nootropic drugs such as Huperzine A are used to treat memory disorders, then memory improvement effect is significant, but side effects include nausea, dizziness, sweating, abdominal pain, and blurred vision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory improvement effectVSAvoidside effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an enzymatic extract of Semen Juglandis as a key intermediary component, which contains bioactive peptides and amino acids that promote brain metabolism and memory enhancement without the harmful side effects of synthetic nootropic drugs. This intermediary substance acts as a safe alternative that delivers memory improvement effects through natural biochemical pathways, eliminating nausea, dizziness, and other adverse effects associated with conventional drugs like Huperzine A.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical and physiological parameters of memory enhancement by using natural ingredients with different mechanisms of action compared to synthetic nootropic drugs. The formulation incorporates phosphatidylserine and taurine, which modulate cell membrane fluidity and neuronal excitability respectively, providing memory improvement through parameter changes in brain physiology that do not cause the harmful side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If nootropic drugs are consumed for long period to improve memory, then memory improvement is achieved, but toxic and side effects occur after prolonged ingestion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory improvement effectVSAvoidtoxicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs food-grade ingredients that are safe for short-term and long-term consumption, replacing synthetic drugs that accumulate toxicity over time. The ingredients used (Arillus Longan, Poria, Semen Nelumbinis, enzymatic extract of Semen Juglandis, phosphatidylserine, and taurine) are all recognized as safe food materials with no significant accumulation toxicity. This approach allows sustained memory improvement without the harmful toxicity that limits long-term use of conventional nootropic drugs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
