Patent number: 11707465Abstract: A human dietary supplement comprises theacrine and optionally other compounds that modulate the effects of theacrine. Uses for the theacrine-containing supplement include improvement of at least one of mood, energy, focus, concentration or sexual desire or a reduction of at least one of anxiety or fatigue. A synergistic composition comprises co-administration of theacrine and caffeine, wherein the co-administered caffeine reduces theacrine oral clearance (CL/F) and oral volume of distribution (Vd/F). In addition, the co-administered caffeine increases area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) of theacrine, and increases theacrine maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) in comparison with the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters when theacrine is administered alone.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Ortho-Nutra LLCInventors: Hector L. Lopez, Shawn Wells, Tim N. Ziegenfuss

Publication number: 20230025435Abstract: Compositions and methods are presented that help reduce cellular ageing, improve cellular stress resilience, and/or promote increased longevity. Exemplary compositions include a combination of a purine alkaloid, an isothiocyanate or thioglucoside, a metal-containing antioxidant, and optionally an additional ingredient, where the purine alkaloid, the isothiocyanate or thioglucoside, and the metal-containing antioxidant may be chemically isolated compounds or extracts or other preparations from naturally occurring entities such as plants, bacteria, yeast, etc. Advantageously, contemplated compositions are effective to reduce and repair oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial function, augment DNA repair and telomere maintenance, increase fatty acid metabolism, and modulate histone deacetylation. More specifically, the contemplated compositions are capable of increasing cellular vitality by inducing expression of OCT4, SOX, and/or KLF4 and/or decreasing biomarkers of cell senescence.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2021Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: JUVN3 Holdings, LLCInventors: Tim N.

Publication number: 20190151459Abstract: The present invention relates in some aspects to compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical, nutritional compositions, etc.), formulations, and food or beverage products comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of (a) ?-alanine or a derivative of ?-alanine, and (b) at least one agent that inhibits the N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) pathway or a pathway which converges downstream with the NMDA pathway. The compositions, formulations, and food or beverage products are useful for enhancing physical performance, reducing ?-alanine-induced paraesthesia, and improving tolerance and compliance to higher doses of ?-alanine, thereby reducing the length of time it takes to achieve peak effect of ?-alanine, and increasing the magnitude of peak effect on physical performance in a human or animal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Hector L.
