  • Patent number: 8110600
    Abstract: A formulation to deliver a full-spectrum of Vitamin E isomers for improved antioxidant capacity, bioavailability, dissolution and efficacy. The formulation includes dl-?-tocopheryl acetate or dl-?-tocopheryl succinate (synthetic Vitamin E), natural Vitamin E and mixed tocopherols, such as ?-, ?-, ?- and ?-tocopherol, as well as four isomers (?, ?, ? and ?) of tocotrienols. This formulation is designed to deliver at least 17-times the antioxidant capacity of synthetic Vitamin E (dl-?-tocopheryl acetate), and at least twice the antioxidant capacity of natural Vitamin E (d-?-tocopherol) as measured by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. The potent antioxidant capacity of this formula affords protection against oxidative damage of cell membranes, heart disease, cancer and eye and skin disease.

  • Publication number: 20110251274
    Abstract: Compositions for increased antioxidant potency of natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol), comprising alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma-forms of tocopherols and tocotrienols are disclosed. All of these compositions provide 400 International Units (IU), based on one mg of d-alpha-tocopherol provides 1.49 IU. These compositions showed antioxidant activities superior to natural d-alpha-tocopherol. These compositions are designed to provide protection of the cell membrane lipid layer, and protection against heart disease, cancer, and eye disease.

  • Patent number: 7989005
    Abstract: A soft gelatin capsule and method to deliver an efficable dose of Lagerstroemia speciosa L. (marketed by Soft Gel Technologies under the trademark Glucosolâ„¢) for the assistance and maintenance of moderate weight loss through blood sugar maintenance. The product relies on the effects of corosolic acid on blood sugar levels to derive a healthy weight loss effect for Type II diabetics (non-insulin dependent) and healthy non-diabetics and the improved absorption of an oil based delivery system. The product provides safe and sustainable weight loss when combined with a restricted calorie diet and regular exercise. Its benefits include improvement of cardiovascular health, normalized blood sugar levels, and improved physical appearance with the positive psychological effects associated with successful and safe weight loss/maintenance.
