Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable curcumin composition for prevention improvement and maintenance of arthritis more particularly to osteoarthritis. The stable curcumin composition is comprised of curcuminoids either alone or along with at least one pharmaceutically and/or nutraceutically accepted excipient to form the stable curcumin compositions having enhancement in absorption and bioavailability. The composition is safe for consumption, possess enhanced stability and bioavailability due to selective percentage of amorphous and crystalline polymorphic form of curcumin along with selective excipient such as pH modifier and/or stabilizer and optionally hydrophilic carrier, antioxidant, diluents, anticaking agent, emulsifier, fat and surfactant which result in improvement of symptoms of arthritis and associated conditions, when administered to subjects, in need thereof.

Abstract: A nutritional composition for prevention, improvement and maintenance of visual function. The nutritional composition comprising the nutrients and at least one pharmaceutically and/or nutraceutically accepted excipient. The nutritional composition wherein the nutrients are selected from one or more of lutein, curcumin and vitamin D3 for prevention, improvement and maintenance of dry eye. The process of preparation of the nutritional composition comprising lutein, curcumin and vitamin D3 use for visual function more specifically dry eye. The present invention is further encompassing to the nutritional composition comprising lutein, curcumin, vitamin D3 in selective percentage which is formulated in different forms like as, powders, granules, pellets, beadlets, caplets, tablets, capsules, soft gel capsules, solution, emulsions, suspensions, oil suspensions, dispersions and the like.

Abstract: Stable oil suspensions are described that have enhanced bioavailability and contain lipophilic nutrients uniformly dispersed in a solid hydrophilic carrier and suspended in an oil medium. A process for preparation of stable oil suspensions of lipophilic nutrients and compositions of these suspensions such as soft gelatin capsules are also described. The oil suspensions include soluble granules of lipophilic nutrients suspended in oil. Soluble granules include lipophilic nutrients dispersed uniformly in a solid hydrophilic carrier with one or more food grade excipient. Stable oil suspensions of the invention include at least 1% to about 50% lipophilic nutrient. These oil suspensions are resistant to oxidation and exhibit enhanced stability and bioavailability as compared to soluble granules and to marketed comparative products. Oil suspensions herein can be encapsulated in soft gel capsules or filled in sachets to administer conveniently to patients.

Abstract: A composition of oily, pungent and odoriferous substances and a process for preparation thereof are described, in particular an extended and sustained release of a stable, free flowing, solid composition of one or more of substances such as capsicum, black pepper, ginger, mustard, cinnamon, garlic, onion, paprika, turmeric and the like, extracts thereof, and/or components thereof, and a process for preparation thereof are described. For example, compositions comprise a substance such as capsicum containing capsaicinoid components, which include for example capsaicin, dihydro-capsaicin, and/or nor-dihydro-capsaicin.
