Solution Overview

Problem

Current approaches to combat fatigue, including lifestyle changes and single herb products, often fail to provide effective and safe long-term solutions due to physiological changes and lack of consistency and safety evaluation in marketed products.

Innovation Solution

A medicinal composition combining Rhodiola, Gynostemma, and Lycium plants, formulated to improve sleep quality, energy levels, and reduce fatigue, with specific quality standards and clinical safety evaluations to ensure efficacy and safety for long-term use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If single herb products are used to combat fatigue, then the product formulation is simple, but the efficacy and safety are inconsistent and lack long-term safety evaluation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct formulationVSAvoidefficacy and safety consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines three herbs (Rhodiola, Gynostemma, and Lycium) into a single composition, merging their individual effects to achieve synergistic anti-fatigue activity. This combination resolves the contradiction by maintaining formulation simplicity while enhancing reliability through multi-component collaboration, as each herb contributes different active substances that work together to improve energy and reduce fatigue consistently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite medicinal composition integrating multiple plant extracts with complementary properties. This composite approach addresses the reliability issue by ensuring consistent efficacy through the combined action of different herb components, while the standardized formulation maintains product simplicity and ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If lifestyle changes are implemented to combat fatigue, then the approach is natural and safe, but it requires significant time and effort from the user

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidtime and effort required
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a medicinal composition as an intermediary substance that bridges the gap between natural lifestyle recommendations and practical user needs. This composition encapsulates the beneficial effects of multiple herbs in a convenient form, providing safety and efficacy without requiring users to dedicate significant time to lifestyle modifications, thus resolving the contradiction between safety and time investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If multiple herbs are combined to improve anti-fatigue effect, then the efficacy is enhanced, but the product complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-fatigue efficacyVSAvoidproduct formulation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges three specific herbs (Rhodiola, Gynostemma, and Lycium) into a unified composition, achieving enhanced anti-fatigue efficacy through synergistic interactions. This selective combination resolves the contradiction by limiting the number of components to three manageable herbs, thereby improving reliability without excessively increasing product complexity or manufacturing difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention provides a composition of a plant material with anti-fatigue activity, its preparation method, usage and related products. The said composition is manufactured from the following plant materials: 20-80% from the genus Rhodiola; 10-60% Gynostemma; 10-60% Lycium. The said composition can be used to manufacture health product, food or anti-fatigue medicine which is able to significantly reduce the fatigue symptoms of those people suffering from fatigue, improve sleeping quality with no impact on normal body physiology. It is shown that the medicine derived from the present is invention exerts its anti-fatigue effect through improving the functions of erythrocytes and thrombocytes to enhance the body's ability of supplying oxygen. The medicinal composition of the present invention is characterized by the small effective dose and good water solubility and thus suitable to be made into a variety of dosage forms for use.
