Abstract: The present invention relates to stable salts of pyridoxine and ?-hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA) endowed with enhanced nutritional and/or therapeutical efficacy in respect to their individual effects and to solid compositions containing such salts, particularly suited to oral administration. A method of preparation is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable salts of ?-alanine and an organic acid endowed with enhanced nutritional and/or therapeutical efficacy in respect to their individual effects and to solid compositions containing such salts, particularly suited to oral administration. A method of preparation is also provided.

Abstract: A nutritional supplement comprising at least a therapeutically effective amount of pyridoxine ?-hydroxyisocaproate is provided by the present invention. The ingredients of the present nutritional supplement act substantially simultaneously to maintain physiological blood and muscular pH and increase the time to muscular fatigue in a mammal during periods of repetitive forceful muscular exercise. A method of use is provided by the present disclosure.

Abstract: The present invention describes compounds produced from an orotic acid molecule and an amino acid molecule. The compounds being in the form of amino acid orotate compounds bound by an amide linkage and produced by one of two disclosed methods; 1) reacting orotic acid or derivatives thereof with a thionyl halide, and then combining the acyl halide with an amino acid in the presence of dichloromethane and a DMAP catalyst; or 2) protecting the carboxylic acid of an amino acid and then combining the amino acid with a DCC activated orotic acid, followed by removal of the carboxylic acid protecting group. The resulting amino acid orotate amide has an enhanced stability in solution as compared to a related ester. In addition, specific benefits are conferred by the particular amino acid used to form the compounds in addition to, and separate from, the orotate substituent.

Abstract: A nutritional composition comprising at least an effective amount of trigonelline or derivative of trigonelline and an effective amount of tropane alkaloids, wherein the ingredients act substantially simultaneously improve the consistency of muscular contractions with respect to applied force and relaxation cycles over time and reduce the onset of central fatigue. A method of same is also provided.

Abstract: The novel salt creatine glycinate and compositions (dietary supplements, energy drinks, and dietetic or pharmaceutical products containing the same are described.
