  • Patent number: 8778404
    Abstract: The present inventors discovered that the onset of galactosamine hepatopathy is suppressed by nutritional compositions comprising as essential ingredients: whey protein hydrolysates; lecithin and oils and fats high in oleic acid, which are able to improve the lipid metabolism; and palatinose having an insulin-sparing effect. Furthermore, the whey protein hydrolysate included in the nutritional compositions was found to suppress endotoxin-induced TNF-a and interleukin 6 (IL-6) production in macrophages.

  • Publication number: 20140186456
    Abstract: The inventive tripartite composition is a combination of fucoidan, trans-resveratrol, and bovine colostrum in effective quantities, in the range of from 1:1.5:1.5 to 1:10:10 in weight percent. This composition provides antioxidant protection of cells against free radicals, strengthens the immune system, and enhances cellular function and stem cell population, thereby providing renewal and repair throughout the body. The inventive composition can be administered by capsules, but is preferably applied in liquid form to the oral cavity, such as by sublingual dropper or by intraoral spray. This sublingual, intraoral application method of administration provides maximum absorption, thus minimizing cost, avoiding inactive ingredients that are present in tablets and capsules, increasing consumer convenience, acid eliminating stomach irritation.

  • Patent number: 8252341
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel process for isolating growth and differentiating factors present in colostrum, all in a natural way. This process is characterized by maturation steps (controlled mild acid hydrolysis) and physical steps (molecular filtration) which optimize recovery of measured growth factors and their ability to entice a response on human cells. Advantageously, this process allows the derivation and isolation of growth and differentiating factors with highly disparate sizes (or molecule weights) in pools. These pools can be used in select and varied ways, including cosmetic, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, dermatological, pharmaceutical, medical and veterinary applications. It can also be used as a replacement to fetal calf serum to promote cell proliferation, and above all, cell differentiation.
