摘要:
A cosmetic composition comprises a coffee cherry preparation, and most preferably an extract from a sub-ripe quick-dried coffee cherry. Particularly contemplated cosmetic compositions are formulated as a shampoo, lotion, cream, balm, or ointment, and will have at least one of an antioxidant effect, an anti-inflammatory effect, a UV-protective effect, an antimutagenic effect, a chemoprotective effect, a scar reducing effect, a skin-lightening effect, a moisturizing effect, a wrinkle reduction effect, and an antibacterial effect.
摘要:
Fructoborate complex containing compositions are presented that have an improved di-complex to boric acid ratio. In some embodiments, compositions are characterized by a di-complex to boric acid ratio of at least 5:1 and more typically at least 10:1 in liquid form, and at least 20:1 in dried form. In other embodiments, compositions are characterized by a minimum content of 80 wt% di-complex and a boric acid content of less than 15 wt%, and more typically less than 5 wt%. Contemplated compositions are thought to have improved biological activity and reduced content of undesired components.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are presented that substantially increase levels of BDNF in blood, and even more pronouncedly exosomal BDNF levels. Suitable compositions include whole coffee fruit extracts and powders or procyanidin-enriched preparations that are orally administered at relatively low dosages. The augmentation of the levels of natural stimulating factor takes place in cerebral circulation.
摘要:
Solid, free-flowing, and substantially completely dissolvable preparations with high betalain content are presented. Most typically, the betalain profile of the preparations is near natural and includes betalains in an amount of between 10-40 wt %. As the preparations of the inventive subject matter maintain chemical stability and flowability over extended periods of time, it should be noted that the betalain preparations are now amenable to compounding in small and measured quantities. Furthermore, new biological activities of betalains are shown, and especially include significant induction of SIRT and reduction of serum triglyceride.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of increasing di-complex content in a preparative reaction wherein the fructoborate complexes are a mixture of di-complexes and mono complexes, the method comprising: selecting a molar ratio between a fructose and boric acid of about 2:1; contacting the fructose and boric acid in an aqueous solution at the molar ratio to generate a liquid intermediate comprising fructoborate di-complexes and borate; and removing water from the liquid intermediate to generate a dry product comprising fructoborate di-complexes and borate, wherein the ratio of sodium fructoborate di-complexes to borate in the dry product is increased by at least about 13% relative to the ratio of sodium fructoborate di-complexes to borate in the liquid intermediate.
