Abstract:
An organic chewable composition for delivering dietary supplements and pharmaceutical compounds. The chewable composition includes an organic delivery vehicle and an active ingredient. The delivery vehicle may include an organic gummy candy. The active ingredient may include an over-the-counter drug or a prescription drug to provide a desired effect on the user. The active ingredient may also include any combination of nutraceuticals, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, soluble and insoluble fiber, herbs, plants, amino acids, and digestive enzymes.
Abstract:
The invention provides a compressed tablet including a volatile active agent, preferably menthol, within a spray-dried granule further comprising a starch carrier and, optionally, a polyol granulating agent. The compressed tablet can be a two layer tablet comprising an effervescent layer and a non-effervescent layer with the spray-dried granule incorporated into the effervescent layer. The tablets herein are useful for providing decongestant benefits. The present invention further relates to the use of starch for increasing the rate of release of menthol from a compressed tablet. The use of starch as a carrier for the volatile active agent has been found to not only improve its rate of release from the tablet compared to other carriers, such as gum arabic, or compared to not using a carrier at all, but also to impart improved smoothness to the tablet when sucked.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to controlled release composition for preventing and/or treating microbial infectionsin the oral cavity of a subject, said composition comprising a controlled delivery matrix which matrix has releasably associated therewith an amount of between 0.000009 and 5 wt% of a sphingolipid, wherein the composition provides a sphingolipid-release-profile in the oral cavity of a subject, wherein said release-profile is maintained for between 15 seconds and 24 hours and wherein said release-profile provides for a concentration of said sphingolipid in the saliva of said subject of between 20 µmole/L and 250 µmole/L.
Abstract:
