Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dietary supplement and method for a rapidly dissolving and disintegrating solid oral dosage form. Specifically, the present invention provides dietary supplements and methods for the delivery of dietary supplements comprising Arginine or derivatives thereof and Xanthinol Nicotinate or derivatives thereof. By way of oral administration to an individual of said solid oral dosage form, a method of rapidly increasing nitric oxide activity in an individual is also provided.
Abstract:
Mammalian cells express heat shock proteins (HSPs) in response to various stresses, such as exercise. Recent studies suggest that expression of heat shock proteins in general, and HSP72 in particular, play a role in muscular hypertrophy. The present invention is directed to nutritional compositions comprising a synergistic combination of a compound which activates heat shock protein transcription factors, and a compound which increases the production of oxidants from cyotochrome P-450 metabolism (indirectly influencing HSP functionality), and methods of using said compositions for improving muscle building. In a preferred embodiment, the transcription factor activator is selected from the group consisting of geranylgeranylacetone, paeoniflorin, derivatives of the preceding, and mixtures of the preceding, and the P- 450 metabolic enhancer is Schisandrin B.
Abstract:
A dietary supplement and method for enhancing skeletal muscle mass, decreasing muscle protein degradation, downregulation of muscle catabolism pathways, and decreasing catabolism of muscle cells an individual, the supplement comprising at least source of Creatine or derivatives thereof, a source of Gypenosides or Phanoside or derivatives thereof, Creatinol-O- phosphate, and a source of Epigallocatechin Gallate or derivatives thereof. The dietary supplement may further comprise N-acetyl cysteine, astaxanthin, a protein or a carbohydrate. A method of enhancing GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in non-adipose cells, decreasing muscle protein degradation, downregulation of the ATP-dependent ubiquination pathway of muscle catabolism, and decreasing catabolism of muscle cells through reducing the activation of NF-κβ is also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a sensory stimulating effect upon the opening of a vessel containing a nutritional or dietary supplement. The sensory stimulating effect occurs each time the vessel is opened and without shaking or disturbance of the vessel prior to said opening. At least some of the nutritional or dietary supplement is fine-milled to produce particles of an effective size and an effective weight to provide the desired effect upon opening the vessel.
Abstract:
A nutritional composition and method is provided for increasing blood flow to skeletal muscle leading to increased vasolidation in an individual by supporting the biological activity of nitric oxide comprising L-arginine, Crataegus extract and Artichoke flavonoids. Increased vasolidation assists in the transport of metabolic products during skeletal muscle exercise.
Abstract:
A nutritional composition and method is provided for enhancing cognition, providing nootropic effects to improve concentration in an individual by supporting the biological activity of the neurotransmitters comprising therapeutically effective amounts of Sulbutiamine or derivatives thereof, an effective amount of Huperzine-A or derivatives thereof and an effective amount of Tyrosine or derivatives thereof.
