Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a crystalline choline ascorbate in a stable and high-purity form. SOLUTION: This crystalline choline ascorbate is produced by reacting ascorbic acid with triethylamine and ethylene oxide.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new curcumin-formulated agent free from defects of conventional curcumin solution or turmeric oil-containing resin comprising the considerably rapid fading in air resulting in the severe restriction of the use of curcumin in food industry and pharmaceutical preparation owing to the insufficient stability and the water insolubility. SOLUTION: The objective agent contains curcumin showing an X-ray analysis diagram having the most intense reflection line falling within the range of 2θ=13 to 15 deg..
Abstract:
The invention relates to pulverulent phytosterol formulations, methods for the production and use thereof. The aim of said invention is to deliver the phytosterol formulations incorporatable in aqueous and oily preparations. For this purpose, said pulverulent phytosterol formulations contain at least one type of phytosterol whose mean particle size ranges from 0.01 and 100 mu m, preferably from 0.01 to 10 mu m, better from 0.01 and 2 mu m and ideally from 0.05 and 1 mu m. Said phytosterol formulations are characterised, in particular in that at least one type of phytosterol is used in a semi-amorphous form. In a preferred embodiment, said phytosterol formulations are characterised in that said phytosterol is embedded in a protective colloid matrix.
Abstract:
The invention relates to food, dietary or pharmaceutical preparations, containing conjugated trans/cis octadecatrienic acids and methods for production thereof. Said preparations preferably contain calendulic acid. The invention further relates to the use of the preparations for the reduction of dietary uptake in humans and animals and for improved dietary utilisation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of stable ammonium a-liponate salts for the treatment of a series of disease states, in particular, diabetic disorders and disorders of diabetic origin. The salts (Lp) (A) are formed from a-liponic acid (Lp) and ammonium compounds (A) of general formula (II) or (III). Further application of the salts are related to the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and diseases related to chronic kidney failure and/or dialysis treatment, retinopathies, nephropathies, proteinurias, hyperlipidaemias, hypertriglyceridaemias, hypercholesterinaemias, proliferations of smooth muscle cells in arteries, collagenoses, arthritis, fibromyalgias, kidney stones, inflammation, cancer, amyloidoses, osteoporoses, excess weight and obesity, HIV infections and AIDS, metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress and related diseases and the aging process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of lipoic acids, or a physiologically acceptable derivative or salt thereof, and a compound of formula (I): H3C-(CH2)n1-(CH=CH)n3-(CH2)n2-COOH - wherein n1 and n2 independently have the value of a whole number from 3 to 9, n3 has the value of a whole number from 2 to 6, and the number of carbon atoms amounts to 18, 20 or 22 - or a physiologically acceptable derivative or salt thereof, as food supplements, in functional foods and for therapeutic purposes in the treatment of diabetic disorders. The invention also relates to agents having a corresponding active ingredient combination and to agents in the form of commercial packs having corresponding combination preparations or monopreparations for combined use.
Abstract:
Compositions containing folic acid in combination with 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid are disclosed, as well as compositions containing folic acid, 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid and/or 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid polyglutamate and a dietary component and/or a dietary preparation and the use thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of lipoic acid and C1 donors, especially S-adenosylmethionine and/or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, for treating disorders of the central nervous system. The invention also relates to agents containing a corresponding active substance combination and to agents in the form of commercial packages containing the inventive combination preparations or monopreparations for combined use.
Abstract:
Compositions are proposed which comprise folic acid in combination with 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, and also compositions which comprise folic acid, 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid and/or 5-methyltetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate and also comprise a dietary component and/or a nutrient preparation, and their use is also proposed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of lipoic acid, a physiologically acceptable derivative or salt thereof and one compound of the formula I H3C-(CH2)n1-(CH=CH)n3-(CH2)n2-COOH I in which n1, n2 have, independently of one another, the value of an integer from 3 to 9, n3 has the value of an integer from 2 to 6, and the number of carbon atoms is 18, 20 or 22, a physiologically acceptable derivative or salt thereof, for nutritional supplementation, in functional foods and for therapeutic purposes in the treatment of diabetic disorders. Compositions having a corresponding active ingredient combination, and compositions in the form of commercial packs with corresponding combination products or single-drug products for combined use are also described.
