  • Publication number: 20100183774
    Abstract: This invention relates to the addition of N-acetylglucosamine to foods and beverages and to the use of N-acetylglucosamine as a sweetening agent. This invention also relates to foods and beverages prepared with N-acetylglucosamine and methods of preparing the same. This invention provides a preferable means of ingesting the desired daily amount of N-acetylglucosamine for its beneficial effects on the body, for example, alleviation of pain and inflammation in a patient suffering from inflammatory bowel disorder or osteoarthritis.

  • Publication number: 20100179104
    Abstract: The present invention provides a synthetic nutritional formulation comprising a substantially pure free N-acetyl glucosamine in concentrations effective for enhancing organ development, enhancing an immune response, or increasing tissue repair or healing in a subject. A synthetic nutritional formulation of the invention may optionally comprise one or both of substantially pure free sialic acid and/or substantially pure free fucose.

  • Patent number: 7448385
    Abstract: This invention is for nasal adaptors for oral inhaler devices and methods of adapting an oral inhaler device with a nasal adaptor. The nasal adaptor of the present invention, in assembly with an oral metered dose aerosol inhaler converts an oral inhaler device to nasal delivery. The nasal adaptor in assembly with an oral inhaler device when in operation, simultaneously administers an inhalant to the nasal mucosa and down to the bronchial tree and lungs. In this manner a nasally delivered anti-inflammatory agent would travel down the same route as an allergen would—the nostril, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, trachea, bronchi and lung tissues.
