Solution Overview

Problem

Existing collagen supplements require large doses to achieve benefits for skin care, and there is a need for a composition and method that can enhance the effectiveness of collagen peptides and provide synergistic effects with native collagen sources.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising a native or undenatured type II collagen and a collagen peptide, administered in specific amounts to improve skin health by enhancing skin tone, elasticity, hydration, and reducing wrinkles and photoaging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If large doses of collagen peptides are administered, then skin health benefits are achieved, but the quantity of substance required increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin health benefitVSAvoidcollagen peptide dose
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines native type II collagen and collagen peptides in a single composition to achieve synergistic effects. The native collagen provides structural integrity and slow-release benefits, while the peptides provide rapid absorption and bioavailability, together reducing the total dose needed for effective skin health improvement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite collagen composition containing both native and hydrolyzed collagen forms. This composite approach leverages the complementary properties of each component - the stability and longevity of native collagen combined with the rapid bioavailability of peptides - to enhance overall efficacy while reducing required dosage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If collagen peptides are used alone, then skin health improvement is achieved, but the onset of action is slower

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin health improvementVSAvoidonset of action
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The native type II collagen in the composition prepares the body's collagen synthesis pathways in advance, creating a primed state that accelerates the subsequent action of collagen peptides. This preliminary structural framework enables faster visible results when peptides are metabolized and integrated

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If collagen supplements are taken to reduce aging effects, then skin and hair health is improved, but large amounts of collagen protein are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-aging effectVSAvoidcollagen protein amount
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the molecular state parameters of collagen by combining native (intact molecular structure) and hydrolyzed (broken down into peptides) forms. This dual-state approach optimizes both absorption efficiency and biological activity, reducing the total protein quantity needed to achieve anti-aging benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
