  • Patent number: 10918688
    Abstract: A method and formulation for fluids, such as drinking water, containing plant phytochemicals are disclosed. Some plants can survive in water without a root system, and the formulation includes fluid, such as water, with one or more of the plants maintained in the fluid. Cold storage resulted in enhanced production and excretion of phytochemicals from the plants into the fluid, including bacosides and bacopasides. These phytochemicals have been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties, promote memory and provide additional health benefits, as well as replace bottled water or other fluids as a means to ensure proper hydration. The fluids are useful for enhancing alertness.

  • Patent number: 7737147
    Abstract: Methods for treatment of sexual dysfunction in men and women using combinations of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 5 inhibitors and l-deprenyl or propargylamine compounds are described. Methods of reducing the dosage and preventing the side effects of PDE type 5 inhibitors are also described. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of l-deprenyl or propargylamine compounds (also called monoamine oxidase [MAO] inhibitors) in combination with PDE inhibitors. Stimulation of nitric oxide production and vasodilation by l-deprenyl and propargylamine compounds augments the actions of PDE inhibitors or other drugs and methods used in the treatment of sexual dysfunction. The composition described here enhances the actions of PDE inhibitors primarily by increasing the generation of cyclic GMP by stimulating the nitric oxide pathway and secondarily by providing several additional benefits such as enhanced dopamine activity.
