  • Patent number: 10085951
    Abstract: The invention provides novel curcuminoid formulations which have improved aqueous solubility and bioavailability when compared to known curcuminoid dosage forms. Formulations of the invention exhibit an enhanced intestinal absorption of curcuminoids, a slower curcuminoid metabolism and a reduced rate of systemic curcuminoid elimination. Additionally, upon administration in vivo, the formulations described and claimed herein produce a high, sustained level of the curcuminoid metabolite tetrahydrocurcumin. For example, at about eight to about ten hours after oral administration to a human, tetrahydrocurcumin plasma levels of between about 50 ng/mL to about 175 ng/mL are detectable, even when that metabolite is absent from the administered formulation. Novel processes for making curcuminoid formulations which have improved aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability, and methods of treating a wide variety of inflammatory, immune and neurogenerative disorders and cancers, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10071064
    Abstract: Methods and formulations for batch-mixing flavonoid tinctures and infusing the flavonoid batch-mixed tincture into a food, beverage, cosmetic or drug products with minimal or no effect on the alcohol by volume of the product, and to precisely deliver the desired mixture concentration of the flavonoids, is provided. A batch-mixed flavonoid tincture includes an amount of at least two individual flavonoid tinctures, each flavonoid tincture being a mixture of at least a flavonoid and a solvent. The batch-mixed tincture is added to various food and beverages, or alternatively directly administered to a human or animal, to make a bioavailable amount of flavonoids to be absorbed and metabolized by the body providing demonstrated health benefits.
