Abstract: Botanical extracts are provided, which comprise ethanol extracts of Nannochloropsis algae having between 10 wt % and 50 wt % polar lipids and between 45 wt % and 60 wt % fatty acids, wherein the fatty acids comprise more than 10 wt % of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as triglyceride conjugates and/or diglyceride conjugates, and less than 15 wt % EPA as free fatty acids. EPA level may reach up to 90 wt %, and the botanical extract may be fluid at room temperature. Growth conditions are configured, adjusted and monitored to promote EPA formation in the cell vacuoles, resulting in a high proportion of EPA as tri/di-glyceride conjugates, as well as in a high concentration of ?-3 fatty acids, which merely requires gentle extraction procedures to reach the final products, thereby maintaining the biochemical of the compounds without excessive modifications.

Abstract: Spirulina extracts and/or fractionated compounds thereof, sublingual spray formulation thereof, spraying devices for using the formulation, as well as methods of preparing and using the spirulina extracts to treat TNF-? related inflammation are provided. The spirulina extracts are prepared by water extraction of Arthrospira spp. biomass that is cultivated under controlled, ultra-high-density conditions with strong UV illumination and strong continuous mixing, and are characterized by high levels of c-phycocyanin, sorbitol and adenosine derivates—which were found to have a strong low-dose effect of reducing TNF-? secretion. The spirulina extracts may correspondingly be used to prevent or alleviate cytokine storm related to various infections or autoimmune diseases.
