Publication number: 20250009828Abstract: An intra-oral, nanoemulsion blend is provided that enhances liver and toxin excretion performance in mammals when orally administered. A solid powder toxin binding composition also is provided that may be used to irreversibly bind the toxins reaching the bowel so that once the toxins are excreted into the bowel, they may not be reabsorbed, and are thus eliminated. A method of administering the nanoemulsion blend and the toxin binding composition to enhance toxin excretion also is described. The nanoemulsion blend is ingestible and edible.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: Quicksilver Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Christopher William Shade, Steven Tieu

Publication number: 20240350519Abstract: Microemulsions incorporated into gummy confections are described where hydrophobic liquid droplets are distributed in a continuous hydrophilic liquid phase. In relation to conventional oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions, prior to incorporation into the gummy confections the described microemulsions may be thought of as modified oil-in-water (MOIW) microemulsions, where both the “oil” and “water” phases of the microemulsion are modified. The oil phase droplets of the MOIW microemulsion are modified with alcohol and can better deliver oil-soluble species to the bloodstream than can oil blends or the oil phases of conventional oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions. The polar continuous “water” phase of the MOIW microemulsion is modified with a sugar or sugar alcohol. The modified oil phase droplets disperse into the modified polar continuous phase of the MOIW microemulsion prior to incorporation into the gummy confection.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Applicant: Quicksilver Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Christopher W.

Publication number: 20240335381Abstract: Thickened microemulsions are described where hydrophobic liquid droplets are distributed in a continuous hydrophilic liquid phase. In relation to conventional oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions, the described thickened microemulsions may be thought of as modified oil-in-water (MOIW) microemulsions, where both the “oil” and “water” phases of the microemulsion are modified. The oil phase droplets of the thickened MOIW microemulsion are modified with alcohol and an alcohol-lipid phase thickener and can solubilize alcohol-soluble species, including nonderivatized hormones. Preferably, the modified oil phase droplets of the thickened MOIW microemulsion directly solubilize nonderivatized hormones. The polar continuous “water” phase of the thickened MOIW microemulsion is modified with a continuous phase thickener. The modified oil phase droplets disperse into the modified polar continuous phase of the thickened MOIW microemulsion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2024Publication date: October 10, 2024Applicant: Quicksilver Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Christopher W.

The oil phase droplets of the MOIW microemulsion are modified with alcohol and can solubilize alcohol-soluble species, including nonderivatized hormones. More preferably, the modified oil phase droplets of the MOIW microemulsion directly solubilize nonderivatized hormones. The oil phase droplets of the MOIW microemulsion include DHEA, pregnenolone, and a polyphenol, where a ratio of DHEA to polyphenol is from 1:1 to 12:1 by weight. Methods of supporting and/or increasing bloodstream hormone levels in perimenopausal and postmenopausal females and improving menopausal symptoms also are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicant: Quicksilver Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Christopher W.

Publication number: 20220273570Abstract: Compositions in the form of oil-based solutions that form oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions in the aqueous environment of the GI tract when taken orally via a hard or soft capsule are described. The resulting microemulsions that form from the oil-based solution within the GI tract can rapidly deliver oil-soluble species and alcohol-soluble species (including PEG derivative assisted alcohol-soluble species) deliverables to the bloodstream through the tissues forming the GI tract. The in situ formed microemulsions resulting from consumption of the encapsulated oil-based solutions include oil-phase microemulsion droplets of monolayer surfactant bound particles suspended in the aqueous continuous phase of the GI tract. The oil-based solutions also may in situ form water-core liposomes suspended in the aqueous continuous phase of the GI tract.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Applicant: Quicksilver Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Christopher W.
