Abstract: The present invention relates to nutritional supplements that provide an adult with essential vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in the adult's diet and prevent chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis. A number of combinations of nutrients in set ratios are provided to increase the body's ability to absorb and use the nutrients. These combinations are important in helping the body reach the proper balance required for maximized function. Because adults over the age of 50 years have different nutritional needs, nutritional supplements specifically designed for them are also provided.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a particulate zinc material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group wherein the particulate zinc material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15 % and wherein the composition comprises less than 5.5 micromoles of a zinc binding material per gram of the particulate zinc material/per m2/gram surface area of the particulate zinc material.

Abstract: A bi-phasic pharmaceutical composition for oral administration including one or more solid active ingredient containing particles dispersed within a semi-solid carrier formulation. The solid particles include a coating with pH-triggered drug release properties and the semi-solid carrier formulation is formulated at a pH that is different than the pH at which the active ingredient release properties of the coating are triggered. Also described is a delivery system for delivery of the bi-phasic pharmaceutical composition including the bi-phasic pharmaceutical composition described above and a dispenser pouch formed from flexible laminate sheets. Further, a process for manufacturing the two-phase pharmaceutical delivery system is described including the filling the bi-phasic pharmaceutical composition into flexible dispenser pouches, which allows the patient to squeeze and dispense the contents of the package directly into the oral cavity.
