Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions, kits and methods for the administration of various vitamin, mineral and nutrient compositions, and in a specific embodiment, the compositions, kits and methods may utilize or include twelve carbon chain fatty acids and/or twelve carbon chain acylglycerols, vitamin D, iodine, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, vitamin B9, vitamin B3, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
Core Innovation
The patent describes a nutritional supplementation composition for a patient that includes a twelve carbon chain fatty acid or a twelve carbon chain acylglycerol together with vitamin D, iodine, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, vitamin B9, vitamin B3, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The composition is formulated as a nutrient delivery system intended for nutritional supplementation in a patient.
The disclosed twelve carbon component includes twelve carbon chain monoacylglycerol and/or one or more twelve carbon chain acylglycerol species, including lauric-acid-derived species such as monolaurin, dilaurin, and trilaurin. The twelve carbon chain fatty acid or acylglycerol is sourced from one or more of algae oil, Martek Algae oil, coconut oil, babassu oil, and palm kernel oil, with lauric acid as described.
The patent further defines component selections for the vitamin and fatty acid portions, including vitamin D, iodine, and multiple vitamins, and specifies that the omega 3 fatty acids are selected from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and α-linolenic acid (ALA). Vitamin B9 is specified as 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid or a salt thereof, and the overall composition is presented as a complete formulation for nutritional supplementation in a patient in physiologically stressful states.
Claims Coverage
The claim coverage identifies one independent claim. Its inventive coverage is a nutritional supplementation composition defined by a twelve carbon chain fatty acid or acylglycerol combined with a defined set of vitamins, minerals, iodine, and omega 3 fatty acids, all formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers; dependent claims refine the twelve-carbon component species and sources, specify omega-3 and vitamin B9 forms, and further constrain component selection and dosage-related features.
Twelve-carbon chain fatty acid or acylglycerol plus complete micronutrient and omega-3 package
A composition consisting of a twelve carbon chain fatty acid or twelve carbon chain acylglycerol, vitamin D, iodine, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, vitamin B9, vitamin B3, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, wherein the composition is for nutritional supplementation in a patient.
Lauric-acid-derived twelve-carbon acylglycerol or fatty acid species
The twelve carbon chain fatty acid or twelve carbon chain acylglycerol comprises one or more lauric-acid-derived species including lauric acid derivatives and di-/triacylglycerols with at least one twelve-carbon chain.
Omega-3 selected from DHA, EPA, and ALA
Omega 3 fatty acids are in the form selected from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and α-linolenic acid (ALA).
Lauric-acid source from specified oils
The source of lauric acid is from one or more of algae oil, Martek Algae oil, coconut oil, babassu oil, and palm kernel oil.
Vitamin B9 as 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid or salt
Vitamin B9 comprises 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid or a salt thereof.
The claim coverage centers on a nutritional supplementation composition that pairs a twelve carbon chain fatty acid or twelve carbon chain acylglycerol with vitamin D, iodine, multiple B vitamins and other vitamins, minerals, and omega 3 fatty acids, with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The dependent claim refinements specify lauric-acid-derived twelve-carbon species and oil sources, narrow omega-3 to DHA/EPA/ALA, and narrow vitamin B9 to 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid or a salt thereof.
