A microcapsule composition comprising at least one polymer substantially disposed as a semi-permeable shell around a buffered solution and at least one therapeutic agent, wherein the therapeutic agent permeates the shell, and wherein the composition is suitable for delivery to a mammal. This invention also provides related compositions, products and methods.

The present invention relates to the area of pharmaceutical compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to a series of pharmaceutical compositions (PTM) containing phyto-polyphenols (P), clinical drugs with selective targets (T) and a metal ions (M) and the methods thereof for use in prevention and therapy of infectious diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dementia, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndromes, osteoporosis, cancers and/or chronic pain.

The invention includes a toothpaste or other orally applied product to be used at least once daily to help prevent or inhibit the acquisition of a number of infections by oral or pharyngeal tissues, particularly including the “common” cold. These compositions possess a combination of ingredients that is not found in other toothpastes or other orally applied products, and these ingredients work together to synergistically interfere with the acquisition of a number of pathogens. The toothpastes will have the usual dentifrice ingredients known to prevent tooth decay, as well as those that reduce halitosis (i.e., bad breath), and prevent gingivitis. In addition, the toothpastes will include one or more of: 1) GALALCOOL® as an individual compound, and not as an extract component; 2) zinc protoporphyrin IX; and 3) one or more other colorless or low-color tannin(s) each as an individual compound, and not as an extract component.
