摘要:
The present invention relates to soluble dimeric double metal salt compositions of (−)-hydroxycitric acid (“HCA”), as well as methods for making and using the same. The invention provides dimeric double metal salts of group IA and IIA of HCA (hereinafter, “DDM-HCAs”). The present invention provides methods to make DDM-HCAs of the invention which can be employed to alter the polar/ionic qualities of HCA salts and derivatives to improve solubility of HCA compositions. DDM-HCAs of the invention are soluble HCA-containing compositions useful as dietary supplements and suitable for manipulations under those conditions necessary for tabletting, encapsulation, and the production of dry powders, particularly for use as a beverage premix. Methods of use of the composition include treatment for suppression of appetite, for weight loss, for an increase in the rate of fat metabolism, for reduction in blood lipids and postprandial lipemia, and to increase the plasma level of (−)-hydroxycitric acid.

The present invention relates to herbal-derived compositions comprising extracts of polysaccharides and carotenoids from Goji species for management of ocular disorders, diabetes, bone metabolism, arthritis, muscle loss, cardiovascular disorders, immunological disorders, fatigue, body weight, sexual disorders, aging disorders, dermatological disorders and neurological disorders. Further provided are methods for making the compositions, and methods for treating subjects with various adverse health conditions with therapeutically or health-promotionally effective amounts of the compositions.
摘要:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical, therapeutic, nutritional, cosmetic, and dermatological compositions derived from the preicarp (rind) of the Garcinia mangostana L plant and the novel extraction processes used to produce those compositions. Specifically, the present invention relates, in part, to an approximately 0.01% to about 80% mixture of a xanthone-rich mangosteen pericarp (rind) extract in novel combinations for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, therapeutic or dermatological compositions that yield surprising health benefits. Additionally, the present invention relates, in part, to novel extraction processes that result in the production of the novel compositions of the invention.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical, therapeutic, and dietary compositions derived from leaf of the Lagerstroemia speciosa L. plant and the novel extraction processes used to produce these controlled blends of varying composition with respect to corosolic acid, gallotannins, ellagitannins, and valoneic acid dilactone. Embodiments of the invention include an approximately 15.5% to about 98.5% mixture of a corosolic acid rich banaba leaf extract in a tannic acid enriched base for novel combinations for pharmaceutical, therapeutic and/or dietary compositions that yield healthful benefits. Some embodiments of the invention do not include corosolic acid, or include it at a low concentration in combination particularly enriched in other compounds. Such extract compositions that do not contain corosolic acid, are the product of extraction process that yield controllably increased ratios of gallotannins, ellagitannins, and valoneic acid dilactone. Such compositions, both those containing corosolic acid and those lacking corosolic acid are efficacious in effecting control of blood glucose levels, and can be further enhanced in their efficacy by post production and formulation strategies that utilize nanotechnological approaches, targeted deliver enteric coatings, and specialized microenacapsulations. With respect to the individual compounds of these extract compositions, such compounds show combined effects that are both additive and synergistic regarding improved glucose cellular uptake, reduction in blood glucose, insulin efficiency and the simultaneous reduction in assimilation of sugars and starches, and weight loss. Further, additive and synergistic effects are a potential benefit when these compositions are combined with other second therapeutic agents.
