Dietary Supplement Bioavailability and Chelation Formulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dietary supplements do not effectively and gently detoxify the human body, particularly in removing toxins such as heavy metals and pesticides, and enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients for detoxification support.
Innovation Solution
A dietary supplement preparation in powder form or concentrate, combining a bioavailability component with black pepper extract and ginger, and a chelation component comprising spirulina, chlorella, turmeric, and wild garlic, which enhances absorption and removal of toxins and nutrients, respectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional dietary supplements are used for detoxification, then toxins may be removed from the body, but the bioavailability of nutrients is insufficient and detoxification is not effective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple components into a composite dietary supplement formulation including chlorella, spirulina, ginger, black pepper extract (piperine), and various vitamins and minerals. This composite approach enhances both the detoxification capability through chelating agents and the bioavailability through absorption enhancers like piperine, resolving the contradiction between effective toxin removal and sufficient nutrient absorption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces piperine from black pepper extract as an intermediary substance that mediates between the dietary supplements and the body's absorption systems. Piperine acts as a bioavailability enhancer that facilitates the absorption of nutrients while the chelating agents simultaneously bind to toxins, enabling both detoxification and efficient nutrient uptake to occur effectively.
2Reliability
If chelating agents are used to remove heavy metals and toxins, then detoxification is enhanced, but the absorption of beneficial nutrients may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges chelating agents (chlorella, spirulina) with bioavailability enhancers (ginger, piperine) and essential nutrients (vitamins A, B, C, D, E and minerals) into a single formulation. This combination ensures that while chelating agents bind to toxins for removal, the concurrent presence of absorption enhancers and nutrients maintains or improves nutrient uptake, preventing the contradiction between toxin removal and nutrient absorption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the chemical environment in the gastrointestinal tract by introducing substances that change absorption parameters. Piperine and ginger components alter the physiological parameters of the digestive system to enhance permeability and absorption rates, ensuring that nutrient uptake is maintained even in the presence of chelating agents that might otherwise interfere with absorption.
3Reliability
If multiple detoxifying components are combined, then detoxification effectiveness increases, but the complexity of the supplement formulation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multi-functional ingredients that perform multiple roles within the formulation. For example, chlorella serves both as a chelating agent for heavy metal removal and as a source of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants. Spirulina similarly provides both detoxification and nutritional benefits. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby managing formulation complexity while maintaining high detoxification effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a well-integrated composite formulation where components are synergistically combined rather than merely mixed. The formulation includes chlorella, spirulina, ginger, black pepper extract, and a comprehensive vitamin-mineral complex that work together in a coordinated manner. This integrated composite approach manages complexity by ensuring each component contributes to multiple aspects of the overall detoxification and nutrition function.
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 supplement enables effective and gentle detoxification by increasing bioavailability of nutrients and chelating heavy metals, supporting excretion and metabolism, thereby improving overall body cleansing and health.
Implementation Method 1
Bioperine contains piperine, a piperidine alkaloid isolated from black pepper. Additionally, the bioavailability component includes a ginger component. In general, the ginger component or the pepper component, in particular piperine from black pepper extract, increases the absorption of the nutritional supplements or other substances with a nutritional-specific physiological effect
Implementation Method 2
a chelation component to support chelation in the (human) body... the chelating component removes (or contributes to the removal of) toxins (such as heavy metals, pesticides and/or drugs) from the body. A chelating component is a component that in the (human) body the formation of chelates (in particular with heavy metals, preferably (methyl) mercury and / or arsenic and/or lead and/or cadmium and/or cobalt and/or chromium and/or uranium) allows or at least supports this chelation
Implementation Method 3
The corresponding process of chelation is a biosorption and in particular a physicochemical process in which contaminants (heavy metals and other pollutants) are complexed by biomass so that chelates are formed. The algae powder, in particular the spirulina component or the chlorella component, can lead to effective chelation with heavy metals
