Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of inositol-stabilized arginine silicate complexes (“ASI”) with the addition of free inositol (“I”) to form a composition ASI+I for improving cognitive functioning in humans, particularly video game players.
Abstract: Methods for treating and/or preventing periodontal disease with arginine silicate are disclosed. Methods may include the steps of identifying an individual in need of treatment for, or in need of prevention of, periodontal disease and administering an effective amount of an arginine-silicate complex to said individual. Arginine silicate may also be used to ameliorate one or more symptoms of periodontal disease. In some aspects, arginine silicate may be used to restore gum health and/or stop or reverse recession of the gums and/or the loss of gum tissue in the oral cavity.
Abstract: Methods of manufacturing inositol-stabilized arginine-silicate (“ASI”) complexes with reduced or eliminated clumping and with increased solubility.

Abstract: The present application is directed to composition comprising various maca extracts and the use of such compositions for treating certain diseases, disorders, and conditions.
Abstract: Co-administration of a lysostaphin or other anti-staphylococcal agent which cleaves cross-links of peptidoglycans of staphylococci cell walls such as lysostaphin and an antibiotic effective against staphylococci due to antibiotic activity mediated by cell-wall activity is effective against staphylococcal infection, even staphylococci that may be resistant to one or other of lysostaphin or the cell-wall active antibiotic. Co-administration simultaneously suppresses the generation of antibiotic-resistant mutant strains. Effective cell-wall active antibiotics include ?-lactams and glycopeptides.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions for the administration of chromium that include at least two components: a hydrophilic chromium complex and a lipophilic chromium complex, and methods of using the same. Also provided are compositions for the administration of chromium that include a first “fast-acting” chromium complex and a second “slow-acting” chromium complex, wherein the first chromium complex is absorbed more quickly than the slow-acting chromium complex, and methods of using the same. Also provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, and improving conditions associated with cardiometabolic syndrome, by identifying a subject in need of treatment, prevention, or improvement of a condition associated with cardiometabolic syndrome, and providing a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a fast-acting chromium complex and a slow-acting chromium complex, to the individual.

Abstract: A method for treatment of a viral infection in a mammal comprising a step of administering a composition containing an amount of selenium (Se) effective to raise the serum level of the mammal to at least 15 ?g/L above baseline.
Abstract: A method for preventing and treating a variety of disease states and disorders is provided, comprising the administration of an arginine silicate inositol complex to an individual in the presence of medical therapy or absence of medical therapy. Examples of said disease states and disorders include bone and cartilage disorders and cardiovascular disease and its associated micro and macro vascular complications including infections and inflammation of all these diseases in combination or without. Advantageously, the amount of arginine silicate inositol complex administered per day is between about 2 mg/Kg body weight to 2,500 mg/Kg body weight or from a low dose to a higher dose to observe normal metabolic functions and healthy and the delivery is parenteral, oral or intravenous or topical by solid or liquid or both.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an arginine-silicate complex and its use in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, as a dietary supplement, and for promotion of structural integrity of bones and cartilage.
Abstract: A method for stabilizing blood glucose levels and reducing the hyperglycemia associated with Type II diabetes. Synthetic chromic tripicolinate is administered either orally or parenterally to a human in need thereof at a dosage of between about 1,000 amd 10,000 micrograms per day.
Abstract: Use of calcium taurate as an antihypertensive agent and dietary supplement. The compound is prepared by reacting taurine and calcium in a 2:1 molar ratio. The resulting mixture is diluted with alcohol and the remaining clear filtrate is crystallized. Calcium taurate is taken orally as a nutritional supplement or antihypertensive agent, and can be used as an adjuvant to conventional antihypertensive drugs.
