  • Publication number: 20060084629
    Abstract: A combination of two, specialized, high molecular weight-long chain fractions isolated from Aloe Vera and Maitake TD to stimulate immune system activity comprise long chain-high molecular weight polysaccharides which activate the body's natural immune response, triggering an increase in the production of macrophages, T-cells, B-cells, natural killer cells, cytokines and antibodies. Long chain polysaccharides acquired from different source materials (Aloe Vera, Maitake) generate different expressions of cytokines in turn effecting the production of a larger variety of antibodies against specific and non-specific antigens. These long chain polysaccharides together with other active ingredients may provide proper immune system support thereby preventing debilitating diseases such as cancer, heart disease and aging.

  • Publication number: 20060040003
    Abstract: This invention relates to a nutritional intervention composition for enhancing satiety prior to a meal and extending satiety after a meal. The nutritional intervention composition decreases food intake producing weight loss over time. The composition consists of Niacin, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Phosphorous, Magnesium, Chromium, Chitosan, Fenugreek, Ginseng, White willow bark, Garcinia cambogia, Aloe Vera gel powder, Momordica charantia, Griffonia simplicifolia, Lagerstroemia speciosa and Vanadyl sulfate. The invention does not require stimulants or anabolic ingredients. There are three phases of activity within the composition. One, enhanced satiety through elevated serotonin. Two, improved carbohydrate metabolism, reduced blood glucose and slowed gastric emptying. Three, enhanced fiber binding of lipids and excess bile acids.
