Patent Specification ( Dash Innovations )-
Title: Water‑soluble neuro‑nutraceutical composition for cognitive enhancement and mental‑health stabilization under hypoxic or high‑altitude conditions
---
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to nutraceutical and functional food formulations designed to enhance cognitive performance, IQ, and mental resilience. It specifically addresses neuro‑metabolic adaptation under hypoxic, high‑altitude, or space‑flight conditions, where oxygen utilization and neurotransmitter balance are compromised.
---
2. Background of the Invention
Existing nootropic supplements fail to maintain efficacy under low‑oxygen or high‑stress environments due to poor solubility and unstable bioavailability.
Guava leaf extract, rich in quercetin, niacin, and pyridoxine, supports cerebral blood flow and antioxidant defense. When combined with adaptogens, neurogenic compounds, and electrolytes, it forms a synergistic composition that stabilizes brain function and improves oxygen efficiency.

3. Summary of the Invention
The invention provides a water‑soluble neuro‑nutraceutical composition in powder or effervescent tablet form that:
- Rapidly dissolves in water or nutrient solutions.
- Can be fortified with gram‑seed (chickpea) protein for space‑food compatibility.
- Enhances cognitive clarity, neuroprotection, and oxygen utilization.
- Maintains stability across extreme temperature and pressure ranges.
