Abstract: The fucoxanthin/pomegranate seed oil composition describes a method of slowing the aging process in a mammalian subject by activating at least one member of the sirtuin family of proteins, wherein the activating step includes administering to the subject a synergistic combination of fucoxanthin and punicic acid. Sirtuin enzymes exert their function by removing acetyl groups from proteins. The deacetylation results in inactivation of the proteins' role in cell metabolism and prevents genes from over-expression, thereby putting a cell into a state of hibernation and increasing its lifespan.

Abstract: A nutritional, cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions containing active ingredients from the liquid endosperm of fresh green coconuts, and a method for obtaining the active ingredients.

Abstract: The invention discloses selenium enriched garlic compositions that are a safe and efficacious means of providing supplemental amounts of the essential trace mineral nutrient selenium, to humans and animals.

Abstract: A method of treatment of lymphoproliferative and autoimmune disorders with a new composition of four boswellic acids including ?-boswellic acid, 3-O-acetyl-?-boswellic acid, 11-keto-?-boswellic acid, and 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-?-boswellic acid. Boswellic acids of invention have been obtained in a novel industrial process from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata tree, providing standardized composition which inhibits DNA, RNA and protein synthesis of the target cell without cytotoxic effects. The composition of invention provides advantage of irreversible cytostatic therapy, equivalent to biological effects of a cytotoxic therapy without killing body cells.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method to prepare concentrates from Allium sativum Linn. (Garlic) bulbs naturally enriched with an unique composition of organic selenium compounds and the use of such concentrates in nutritional supplement compositions for human and animal use. The resulting compositions provide a safe and efficacious means of providing supplemental amounts of the essential trace mineral nutrient selenium for diverse health benefits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of making high purity piperine for nutritional and nutraceutical application. This process recovers piperine from piperine-containing oleoresin by using isourea, urea or a urea derivative to remove organic matter other than piperine from the oleoresin. Preferrably, the process recovers piperine from oleoresin of fruit of piper nigrum or piper longum. More preferably, the process recovers piperine from oleoresin of fruit of piper nigrum, i.e. black pepper.
