  • Patent number: 11925645
    Abstract: An enhanced caffeinated beverage composition includes a caffeinated drink combined with an effective blend of methylliberine and theacrine providing increased mood, energy, alertness, focus, motivation, and/or decreased fatigue without adversely affecting heart rate or blood pressure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 21, 2023
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024

  • Patent number: 11707465
    Abstract: A human dietary supplement comprises theacrine and optionally other compounds that modulate the effects of theacrine. Uses for the theacrine-containing supplement include improvement of at least one of mood, energy, focus, concentration or sexual desire or a reduction of at least one of anxiety or fatigue. A synergistic composition comprises co-administration of theacrine and caffeine, wherein the co-administered caffeine reduces theacrine oral clearance (CL/F) and oral volume of distribution (Vd/F). In addition, the co-administered caffeine increases area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) of theacrine, and increases theacrine maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) in comparison with the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters when theacrine is administered alone.

  • Publication number: 20230025435
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are presented that help reduce cellular ageing, improve cellular stress resilience, and/or promote increased longevity. Exemplary compositions include a combination of a purine alkaloid, an isothiocyanate or thioglucoside, a metal-containing antioxidant, and optionally an additional ingredient, where the purine alkaloid, the isothiocyanate or thioglucoside, and the metal-containing antioxidant may be chemically isolated compounds or extracts or other preparations from naturally occurring entities such as plants, bacteria, yeast, etc. Advantageously, contemplated compositions are effective to reduce and repair oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial function, augment DNA repair and telomere maintenance, increase fatty acid metabolism, and modulate histone deacetylation. More specifically, the contemplated compositions are capable of increasing cellular vitality by inducing expression of OCT4, SOX, and/or KLF4 and/or decreasing biomarkers of cell senescence.
