  • Publication number: 20110262553
    Abstract: Compositions comprising vitamin E, vitamin C, and white tea extract for treating cutaneous signs of aging are disclosed. The compositions reduce signs of wrinkles and improve other skin conditions, such as increased skin elasticity and skin softness. Moreover, the prevention or treatment of unhealthy skin, such as aged skin or skin overexposed to sunlight, may advantageously be accomplished by the administration of the compositions of the present invention. The compositions includes the combination of a number of different components, which interact to provide the desired improvements to the skin. Further advantageous ingredients of the compositions may comprise, naturally occurring antioxidants extracted from e.g. grape seeds and tomato, an extract comprising glycosaminoglycans, a transition metal component in an amount effective to bind collagen and elastic fibers and thicken skin, and a catechin-based component present in an amount sufficient to inhibit the presence of anti-collagen enzyme in the skin.

  • Patent number: 7252845
    Abstract: Novel compositions of matter containing aromatic compounds and terpenoids which are present in and may preferably be derived from the plant Alpinia galanga (Zingiberaceae) show synergistic effects with respect to immunomodulation, and they significantly suppress hypersensitivity reactions. Thus they are used for preparing medicaments for these purposes and, more specifically, for the treatment or prevention of IgE mediated allergic reactions and conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic eczema or anaphylaxis, and autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, as well as for the alleviation of pain. They can for example be formulated into pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or dietary supplements. A method of preparing such compositions from Alpinia galanga is also described.

  • Patent number: 6805880
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical delivery system comprising a slow-release formulation of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and a plain-release formulation of vitamin E (tocopherol) has been found to raise and maintain the concentrations of these vitamins in the blood plasma to a ratio of approximately 2.2:1. The steady-state concentration and ratio of these antioxidants has been found to be critical in the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress related disorders such as arteriosclerosis and diabetes and neural degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease.

  • Patent number: 5715969
    Abstract: A health care product container having a generally rectangular cross section and closed at one end by a bottom wall molded integrally with the container vessel. The other end is provided with a filling opening which corresponds to the cross section of the container, and which is closed by a closing part. The container has an internal partition integral with the container vessel, parallel with one of its side walls, and dividing the container into first and second compartments. Each compartment is closed at one end by said bottom wall and being open at its other end. The closing part is so designed that it sealingly closes the first compartment at its one end, but leaves access to the second compartment, the sealed compartment being a product containing compartment provided with a dispensing opening closable by a stopper. The second compartment is closed by a lid hinged to the closure part or to the vessel.
