Many individuals suffer from digestive discomfort and related sleep issues, requiring a natural and safe therapeutic composition that provides long-term relief and additional sleep support beyond temporary remedies.

Innovation Solution

A therapeutic composition comprising a probiotic component with strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, combined with sleep support ingredients such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), valerian root extract, and melatonin, administered in effective doses to address digestive discomfort and sleep problems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a probiotic composition is used to treat digestive discomfort, then digestive health is improved, but sleep quality remains unaffected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedigestive health improvementVSAvoidsleep support capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus) with sleep-support ingredients (melatonin, GABA, valerian root extract) into a single therapeutic composition. This merging allows the composition to simultaneously address digestive discomfort and promote sleep quality, resolving the contradiction between digestive health improvement and sleep support capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The therapeutic composition is designed to perform multiple functions: it acts as a probiotic supplement for digestive health while also functioning as a sleep aid through the inclusion of melatonin and other sleep-support ingredients. This multi-functionality allows a single product to address both digestive issues and sleep problems, enhancing the versatility of the treatment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of time

If temporary relief remedies are used for digestive discomfort, then immediate symptom relief is achieved, but long-term health benefits are not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmediate symptom reliefVSAvoidlong-term health benefits
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The probiotic composition works by establishing beneficial bacteria in the gut that provide immediate relief from digestive discomfort while simultaneously building long-term gut health. The live probiotic strains colonize the digestive system, providing ongoing benefits beyond temporary symptom relief, thus addressing both immediate and long-term needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The probiotic composition provides continuous beneficial action through the establishment of live bacterial colonies in the gut. Unlike temporary remedies that wear off, the probiotic strains continue to function and provide digestive health benefits over extended periods, creating a sustained therapeutic effect that addresses both immediate and long-term health concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
