PROCYANIDINS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION TRIGGERED BY COVID-19
A natural composition for medical purposes, more specifically including procyanidins, for use in the prevention or treatment of endothelial inflammation and/or endothelial systemic dysfunction triggered by Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) including symptomatic post-COVID-19 subjects recovering from COVID-19.
PROCESS TO ENHANCE THE BIOACTIVITY OF ASHWAGANDHA EXTRACTS
The invention relates to an extract of Ashwagandha that exhibit enhanced bioactivity and bioavailability comprising of enriched withanolide glycosides and saponins; with negligible amount of alkaloids, withanolide aglycones and oligosaccharides. The extract as disclosed prepared from root, stems, leaves and whole plant of Ashwagandha further shows improved immunomodulatory activity, anti-inflammatory activity, anti stress activity, antidiabetic activity and sleep quality. The disclosure also provides a method of improving bioactivity of withanolide glycosides even at lower doses, by the administration of an enteric coated formulation of extract of Ashwagandha to humans. The enteric coating protects the composition from hydrolysis in the acidic environment of the stomach to release the withanolide glycoside in neutral/ alkaline pH in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) thus enhancing the absorption. Further the process of preparation of the extract of Ashwagandha enriched with withanolide glycosides and saponins are disclosed along with various formulations.
PREBIOTIC COMPOSITION AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME
Prebiotic composition including grape ferment, a first component, and a second component is provided. The first component is lactitol or xylooligosaccharide, and the second component is fructooligosaccharide, xylooligosaccharide, or inulin. The first component is different from the second component, and a weight ratio of the grape ferment, the first component and the second component falls within the range of 1-2:1-2:1-2. Based on this, the prebiotic composition prepared by grape ferment can be used to promote intestinal health of a subject in need thereof and enhance antioxidation in the subject.
