Abstract: The present invention relates to liposome vitamin C preparations which enhance absorption of vitamin C into cells and prolong the retention of liposome vitamin C within the blood plasma and tissue of mammals, such as humans. The liposome vitamin C preparations of the present invention include amphipathic and amphiphilic molecules which improve the absorption of liposome vitamin C resulting in higher plasma and cellular levels.

Abstract: A phytocannabinoid formulation comprises an amount of at least about 90 percent by weight of one or more phytocannabinoid. The phytocannabinoid formulation further comprises an amount of at least about 0.1 percent by weight of a plurality of lipophilic molecules including at least one saturated straight chain C14-C20 fatty acid and at least one unsaturated ?-6 C18-C22 fatty acid. The phytocannabinoid formulation also includes an amount of at least about 0.1 percent by weight of at least one bioflavonoid.

Abstract: This invention provides an isolated mixture of higher molecular weight primary aliphatic alcohols having 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32 and 34 carbon atoms and having enhanced purity. This invention also provides a process for obtaining the alcohol mixture by extracting a natural product with organic solvents with or without saponification of the natural product. The alcohol mixture is useful in pharmaceutical compositions, foodstuffs and dietary supplements and is effective for lowering total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and increasing HDL-cholesterol levels and therefore is effective in treating hypercholesterolemia. The composition may be used to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, to inhibit the atherosclerotic process (platelet hyperaggregability, ischemia and thrombosis), and can be used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic agent. The composition also possesses neurotrophic properties and is useful for improving male sexual activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a naturally obtained mixture of higher molecular weight primary aliphatic alcohols which contain 20 to 34 carbon atoms. This invention also relates to the process for obtaining the alcohol mixture by extraction and purification with organic solvents from a natural product, such as beeswax with and without saponification of the natural product. The alcohol mixture obtained from beeswax has enhanced purity and contains a mixture of alcohols having 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32 and 34 carbon atoms. The alcohol mixture is useful in pharmaceutical compositions, foodstuffs and dietary supplements and is effective for lowering cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and increasing HDL-cholesterol levels so that it is effective in treating hypercholesterolemia.
