  • Patent number: 6841573
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method of orally administering arachidonic acid for the purpose of increasing the serum level of the prostaglandin PGF2alpha and subsequently the level of retained skeletal muscle mass.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2005
    Assignee: Molecular Nutrition
    Inventor: William Charles Llewellyn
  • Publication number: 20040102519
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method of orally administering arachidonic acid for the purpose of increasing the serum level of the prostaglandin PGF2alpha and subsequently the level of retained skeletal muscle mass.

  • Publication number: 20040077902
    Abstract: This invention discloses the hydrosoluble creatine salt dicreatine maleate, and a method for manufacturing same. Creatine is a popular ergogenic aid, and is found most often in the form of creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is poorly soluble in water however, prompting this inventor to search for a more suitable form of creatine for nutritional supplementation. Dicreatine maleate offers a level of water solubility more than 12 fold better than creatine monohydrate.

  • Publication number: 20030229063
    Abstract: This invention discloses methods of administering 4-hydroxytestosterone in order to lower estrogen levels in humans. As men age, a decline in androgenic hormone levels is typically noted, possibly resulting in muscle mass, bone density and energy loss. This is often accompanied by elevated estrogen to androgen ratio. Various methods have therefore been developed to supplement androgens for men with declining levels and/or correct this ratio. Some such have focused on the use of direct aromatse inhibitors, as a means of lowering levels of estrogen in humans. This invention is an improvement over the use of the aromatase inhibitor 4-hydroxyandrostenedione, in that the subject of this invention is an aromatase inhibitor developed by modifying an active androgen instead of an inactive metabolite. This may be a very advantageous trait for aging men who require a safe and effective way to treat estrogen/androgen imbalance.

  • Patent number: 6531162
    Abstract: This invention discloses a new and unique combination of octopamine, yohimbine, bergenin and decaffeinated green tea extract useful as an oral supplement for increasing weight loss in humans.

  • Publication number: 20030027805
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method of administering 1,4-androstadienedione as a means of increasing boldenone levels in humans. As men age, a decline in androgenic hormone levels is typically noted, possibly resulting in muscle mass, bone density and energy loss. Various methods have therefore been developed to supplement androgens for men with declining levels. This invention is an improvement over the previously suggested steroid precursors, in that androstadienedione displays superior oral activity. This may be a very advantageous trait for men seeking the an orally active form of androgen replacement.

  • Patent number: 6451782
    Abstract: This invention discloses methods of administering 4-Androstene-3alpha,17beta-diol in order to increase testosterone levels in humans. As men age, a decline in androgenic hormone levels is typically noted, possibly resulting in muscle mass, bone density and energy loss. Various methods have therefore been developed to supplement androgens for men with declining levels. Some such have focused on the use of direct metabolic precursors to testosterone, as a means of raising levels of this androgen in humans. This invention is an improvement over the use of the precursor 4-Androstene-3,17-beta-diol, in that the subject of this invention displays a much higher ability to convert to testosterone in the human body. This may be a very advantageous trait for aging men who require a safe and effective way to treat subnormal androgen levels.

  • Patent number: 6242436
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method of administering direct precursors of the hormone dihydrotestosterone as a means of increasing androgen levels in humans. As men age, a decline in androgenic hormone levels is typically noted, possibly resulting in muscle mass, bone density and energy loss. Various methods have therefore been developed to supplement androgens for men with declining levels. This invention teaches using precursors to testosterone, in that DHT and its precursors cannot be converted to estrogens in the human body. This may be a very advantageous trait for aging men at risk for benign prostatic hypertrophy, as estrogenic and androgenic action are both needed to induce this condition. As testosterone is the primary substrate for the synthesis of estradiol in men, its use as a target for androgen replacement may pose a greater health risk.
