Solid Drink Formulation for Phlegm-Dampness Regulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for phlegm-dampness constitution, such as decoctions and pills, are either tedious to consume or have poor efficacy, making it difficult for patients to maintain long-term administration and effectively regulate this chronic condition.
Innovation Solution
A solid drink formulation combining kudzu vine root, nutmeg, fructus perillae, radish seed, dried tangerine peel, poria, fructus amomi, malt, agastache rugosa, kelp, semen coicis, dextrin, maltodextrin, soluble starch, and aspartame, processed through decoction and wet granulation, to create a palatable and easily consumable health food that regulates phlegm-dampness constitution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If decoction is used to treat phlegm-dampness constitution, then efficacy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to tedious consumption and bad taste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state of the medicine from liquid decoction to solid granule form, and adjusts the taste parameters by adding flavoring agents and sweetening substances, making it easier to consume while maintaining efficacy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple Chinese medicinal materials with food-grade additives and flavoring agents to create a composite solid drink formulation that integrates therapeutic effects with improved palatability and ease of consumption
2Ease of operation
If pills are used to treat phlegm-dampness constitution, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to poor efficacy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite formulation that combines the ease of pill consumption with enhanced efficacy by integrating multiple active medicinal components with food-grade carriers and functional additives
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the formulation parameters by using extract concentrates and standardized active ingredient content to ensure adequate therapeutic effect while maintaining the convenient solid form
3Reliability
If long-term administration is required for phlegm-dampness constitution, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases due to prolonged treatment duration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the concentration and bioavailability parameters of active ingredients to enhance therapeutic efficiency, allowing for more effective regulation in shorter periods while maintaining safety for long-term use
