摘要:
Compositions, methods, and uses are contemplated in which a betalain-containing preparation is administered to a mammal to enhance athletic performance. Most preferably, the preparations are substantially nitrate free and acutely and transiently increase hematocrit, erythropoietin, adrenalin, and beta endorphin, while reducing serum lactate, serum lactate dehydrogenase, heart rate and a rate of perceived exertion.
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 that are orally administered at relatively low dosages.

摘要:
Various compositions and methods are provided to alleviate one or more symptoms associated with hyposalivation or xerostomia. Preferred compositions and methods employ one or more plant extracts and/or a proanthocyanidin at a concentration effective to reduce or eliminate the symptoms. Especially preferred extracts are isolated from a fruit and/or seed (e.g., grape, cranberry, blue berry, black berry, etc.), and where a second extract is present, such extract is preferably isolated from a citrus fruit (e.g., lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, mandarin orange, ugli fruit, etc.).

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.
