Abstract: Formulations and methods for enhancing lipolysis and the suppression of appetite are presented. Currently the preferred embodiment has these formulations as two separate compositions because of taste considerations (the combined taste, currently, is disagreeable). However, it is known that the two separate compositions can be combined into a single delivery systems, such as a drink, bar, gel or other nutritional delivery system known in the arts. The two separate compositions are: 1. compositions comprising substances that enhance oxygen uptake, and 2. a protein supplement composition comprising substances that regulate blood sugar. The overall purpose of this invention is to induce weight loss in as short of time as possible with the least amount of discomfort.

Abstract: The ingestion or topical administration of substances that inhibit leukotrienes prior to a trauma to the skin and for a period of time thereafter effectively inhibits the development of hyperpigmentation in people so predisposed.

Abstract: A method for purifying various nitrogen containing flavor and fragrance compounds is described. The method comprises at least one step of reverse crystallization for liquid compounds and may be followed by at least one step of forward crystallization for compounds that are solid at room temperature.

Abstract: Described are compositions and methods for the treatment of acne. The method and compositions comprise an orally ingested composition containing thymic peptides, vitamins, and minerals. Zinc, pantothenic acid, magnesium, pyridoxine, vitamins A and D, riboflavin, and folic acid are found to be essential to the composition. Also described is a topical composition comprising pantothenic acid that, when used in conjunction with the oral composition, resulted in a better response than either the oral or topical composition alone.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a group of linear and cyclic peptides having the structures:

Abstract: Described are methods and compositions that eliminate the aftertaste of the various non-nutritive sweeteners. These include, but are not limited to, sucralose, aspartame and acesulfame-k (also known as the potassium salt of ascesulfame). In addition, methods and compositions are described which allow for stability of various flavoring compositions used in conjunction with non-nutritive sweeteners.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for dermal regeneration, both alone and in conjunction with LASER phototherapy. The method comprises the steps of applying an abrasive scrub to a selected area of a dermis to be treated to remove keratin from an epidermis; applying a keratin solvent system to the selected area of the dermis to be treated after the step of applying an abrasive scrub to further remove keratin from the epidermis; applying an acid chemical peel composition to the area of the dermis to be treated; and applying a thymic peptide based composition on the area of the dermis. A LASER phototherapy treatment may be substituted or used in conjunction with the acid chemical peel treatment. Additionally, microdermabrasion or epidermabrasion may be used prior to the chemical peel.
