Red Clover Pomegranate Extract for Menopause Relief
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for menopausal symptoms, such as hormone therapy, come with adverse effects, and there is a need for a natural composition that effectively relieves these symptoms without such drawbacks.
Innovation Solution
A composite extract of pomegranate and red clover is used as an active ingredient in a composition for reducing menopausal disorders, administered through various routes, including pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic forms, to provide synergistic relief without adverse effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hormone therapy is used to supplement declining female hormones, then menopausal symptoms are relieved, but adverse effects such as uterus cancer, breast cancer, stroke and pulmonary embolism occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces long-term hormone therapy with a natural plant extract composition that provides temporary but effective relief through phytoestrogens, avoiding the cumulative adverse effects of prolonged synthetic hormone use
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple plant extracts (red clover, pomegranate, and other natural sources) to create a composite composition that synergistically provides estrogen-like effects while minimizing side effects through the diversity of phytochemical compounds
2Object-affected harmful factors
If phytoestrogens are used to provide weak estrogen-like effects, then adverse effects are reduced, but the effectiveness compared to hormone therapy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple phytoestrogen sources (red clover extract, pomegranate extract, and other plant extracts) to merge their individual weak effects into a synergistic composition that achieves therapeutic effectiveness comparable to hormone therapy while maintaining the safety profile of natural compounds
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes the concentration ratios and extraction parameters of different plant components to maximize the bioavailability and effectiveness of phytoestrogens, transforming them from weak individual agents into a potent combined therapy
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The pomegranate and red clover composite extract effectively alleviates menopausal symptoms, including osteoporosis inhibition and uterus protection, with a synergistic effect that surpasses individual extracts, offering relief with minimal side effects.
Implementation Method 1
Phytoestrogens are structurally similar to estrogen so that they can bind to estrogen receptor ER-alpha and ER-beta, showing a weak estrogen-like effect
