Abstract: A beverage is a drinkable liquid. Described here is a beverage containing a cooling agent that will exert cooling sensations in the upper center of the chest and make a subject feel comfortable. The cooling agent is an agent that targets TRPM8 receptors on nerve cell membranes. The beverage can be imbibed without unpleasant taste and the goal is to make the whole body feel cooler for about 20 min or more after drinking. By choosing the right molecule and right concentration, cooling intensity, location, and duration in the chest is controlled. Surprisingly, the cooling agent was also effective when consumed with warm or hot beverages. The beverage contains selected 1-diisopropyl-phosphinoyl-alkanes and taste-modulating agents selected from sweeteners, extracts from hops, ginger, or cinchona. Various uses of this cooling beverage are proposed.
Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods of using certain 1-di-isopropyl-phosphinoyl-alkanes as described herein (DIPA-1-7, DIPA-1-8, and DIPA-1-9, collectively referred to herein as “DIPA compounds”) for the treatment of ocular discomfort that is caused by eye strain; eye surgery; an airborne irritant or pollutant that interacts with the eye surface; heat discomfort; extended wear of contact lenses; excessive exposure to the sun; asthenopia; conjunctivitis; or a dry eye syndrome. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and media contain those pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract: A use of plant exosomes as a product having the effect of enhancing viability and, by stimulating the hair follicles, enhancing hair growth in skin cells. The plant exosomes are used to revitalize and strengthen unhealthy skin and hair that have lost their vitality, to stop hair loss, to provide faster hair growth by stimulating hair follicles, and to provide a regulating effect in improving the effects such as wrinkles and age spots caused by aging skin cells. The plant exosomes are isolated from single, double, or triple combinations of plants selected from a group consisting of pineapple plant, garlic plant, and pomegranate plant. For example, a triple combination includes 1 ng-1 mg of the plant exosomes isolated from the pineapple plant, 1 ng-10 ?g of the plant exosomes isolated from the garlic plant, and 1 ng-1 mg of plant exosomes isolated from the pomegranate plant.
Abstract: An adjuvant composition for a vaccine includes one or more substantially isoparaffinic hydrocarbon oils having C17 and/or C18 isoparaffins, and one or more surfactants. A vaccine includes the adjuvant composition.
Abstract: The present application relates to an adjuvant which is suitable to be used in vaccines or other immunogenic compositions. Specifically, the adjuvant promotes the induction of interleukin-1 (IL-1), type 1 interferons (IFNs), such as IFN?, and IFN?, type 2 interferons, such as IFN? and/or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) response, such as TNF?, and elicits or enhances an immune response, preferably in neonatal, juvenile or paediatric animal and/or human populations.
