Mitochondrial Protection Composition Using Haematococcus pluvialis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods fail to effectively address mitochondrial dysfunction, which is associated with aging and various diseases, by not adequately improving oxidative stress levels and delaying mitochondrion-related aging.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising Haematococcus pluvialis, Lycium ruthenicum, Cordyceps militaris, and nicotinamide in specific mass ratios, extracted using ethanol and water, is used to prepare a product that improves mitochondrial function by enhancing SOD enzyme activity, NAMPT enzyme activity, and protein expression of the respiratory chain complex.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If single constituents are used to protect mitochondrial function, then the effect is limited, but the composition complexity increases when multiple ingredients are combined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines four different constituents (Haematococcus pluvialis, Lycium ruthenicum, Cordyceps militaris, and nicotinamide) into a single composition to achieve synergistic effects. Each ingredient targets different aspects of mitochondrial function, and their combination produces a protective effect greater than the sum of individual components, resolving the contradiction between effect strength and composition simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite formulation where multiple natural extracts and supplements work together. The specific mass ratios (Haematococcus pluvialis: Lycium ruthenicum: Cordyceps militaris: nicotinamide = 100-450: 200-800: 50-150: 0.1-10) are optimized to achieve synergistic mitochondrial protection while maintaining manageable composition complexity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If mitochondrial dysfunction is not addressed, then oxidative stress levels remain high and aging accelerates, but current methods fail to effectively improve these conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The composition converts the harmful oxidative stress into a beneficial outcome by using antioxidants from natural sources to neutralize free radicals. The constituents transform the damaging oxidative environment into a protected state, effectively addressing mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing oxidative stress levels while delaying aging.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes key parameters including SOD enzyme activity, NAMPT enzyme activity, and protein expression of respiratory chain complexes. By optimizing these biochemical parameters through the composition, the patent effectively improves mitochondrial function and reduces oxidative stress, overcoming the limitations of current methods.
