Prebiotic Yeast and Probiotic Supplement for Immune Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dietary supplements for humans, livestock, and companion animals are inadequate in effectively preventing and treating various diseases and infections, particularly those affecting the digestive system, and lack broad-spectrum treatments for multiple pathogens.
Innovation Solution
A dietary supplement composition comprising a combination of prebiotic yeast, immune effector proteins, and probiotics, which can be administered in various forms, is developed to stimulate immune and digestive health, providing a comprehensive approach to disease prevention and treatment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If antibiotics and vaccines are used to treat diseases and infections, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but the risk of widespread outbreak increases if treatment is delayed, and market demand for antibiotic-free products creates additional constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by incorporating prebiotics and probiotics into the dietary supplement formulation before disease occurrence. These components continuously support immune function and gut health in advance, enabling the animal's immune system to respond more effectively when pathogens are introduced, thereby reducing the critical response time needed upon disease detection
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service by enhancing the animal's own immune system through prebiotic and probiotic components that stimulate natural immune responses. Rather than relying entirely on external antibiotics or vaccines, the composition empowers the animal's body to defend itself against infections, reducing dependency on external intervention and enabling faster response to emerging diseases
2Reliability
If probiotic and prebiotic compositions are used to support intestinal health, then gut flora is improved, but the formulations are unable to adequately treat and prevent various diseases and conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functional components into a single dietary supplement composition: prebiotics (for gut flora support), probiotics (for intestinal health), and immune-stimulating compounds (for broad-spectrum disease prevention). This combination allows the formulation to simultaneously address intestinal health and provide versatile protection against multiple disease types including viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves universality by designing a multi-functional dietary supplement that serves multiple purposes: supporting gut health through prebiotics and probiotics, stimulating immune responses, and providing broad-spectrum prevention against various diseases. The composition is adaptable to different animal species and can address multiple disease types, making it a versatile solution beyond single-function probiotic formulations
