Substrates for use with an aerosol delivery device to vaporize and deliver an aerosol to a user include a base material, an aerosol former and an aerosol agent. In a method for forming the substrates, a mixture of substrate materials is extruded and then spheronized to produce pellet substrates that are generally spherical, substantially spherical or rounded, or in the form of relatively short rods having rounded ends. In another method for forming the substrates, a base material is coated with a first coating and optionally the base material having the first coating thereon is subsequently coated with a second coating so as to produce pellet substrates having a relatively smooth, dry exterior surface. In this manner, the substrates are formable relative to one another and can be easily and readily loaded into and removed from the aerosol delivery device.

The supplementation, consumption, of these nutraceutical formulas have preventive and therapeutic roles for chronic diseases, and thus provide anti-aging effects.

The present invention relates to immediate release formulations of (R)-2-amino-3-phenylpropyl carbamate and methods of using the same to treat disorders.

The present invention relates to a process in a fluid-bed system for preparing solid formulations having high dispersibility in a cold liquid (room temperature 20° C.-25° C.±2° C.), preferably in water or in a water-based liquid, wherein said solid formulations comprise at least one hydrophobic compound. Furthermore, the present invention relates to said solid formulations obtained by means of said process and to the use thereof for the preparation of dietary supplements, foods for specialist medical purposes (in short FSMPs), pharmaceutical compositions, medical device compositions and/or cosmetic compositions.

Compositions and methods for improving nitric oxide levels in a subject, comprising administering to a subject, a composition comprising dietary nitrate derived from potassium nitrate, beet root (whole plant, powder, plant extract), and/or nitrate-rich leafy green portions (whole plant, powder, plant extract) that improve functional nitric oxide levels in subjects as shown by increasing salivary bioconversion of nitrate to nitrite, a necessary a required step for nitric oxide mediated health benefits. The disclosed novel compositions improve cardiac health, lowers blood pressure, intraocular pressure, and LDL and restores nitric oxide mediated cardiovascular benefits, including but not limited, restoring endothelium function and improving flow mediated dilation.

A composition is provided herein directed to a mixture of one or more Lactobacillus sp. and a phenolic compound. In a specific embodiment, disclosed is a Lactobacillus/phenol mixture that has been lyophilized to form a Lactobacillus/phenol lyophilized mixture. The Lactobacillus/phenol mixture of Lactobacillus/phenol lyophilized mixture may be packaged in a capsule, emulsion, or tablet such that the Lactobacillus are protected in a gastrointestinal tract for transport to an intestine of a subject. In another embodiment, a method for treating Type-1 diabetes including orally administering to a diabetic or pre-diabetic subject, or a subject at risk for becoming pre-diabetic or diabetic, a composition comprising an effective amount of Lactobacillus/phenol mixture or lyophilized mixture. In still a further embodiment, of improving immune function in a subject, comprising administering to the subject, the composition comprising an effective amount of Lactobacillus/phenol mixture or lyophilized mixture.

An antibacterial antiviral pharmaceutical composition, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 4-14 parts of Herba pogostemonis, 9-28 parts of Rhizoma atractylodis, 5-18 parts of Herba elshoitziae, 11-33 parts of Folium artemisiae argyi, 0.1-3 parts of Flos caryophylli, and 2-10 parts of Herba menthae, and further comprising natural borneol and pharmaceutical adjuvants. The pharmaceutical composition can be prepared into medicinal volatile oil. The pharmaceutical composition and the volatile oil thereof can be used for resisting bacteria and viruses, clearing heat, reducing fever and/or treating respiratory diseases, and can be applied to the preparation of medicines for resisting SARS-CoV-2.

A product and process of manufacturing an edible soft-chewable dosage form for the delivery of pharmaceutically active ingredients or nutritional agents orally to an animal or human subject, by forming a granulated soft-chew mass by appropriate mixing and sifting steps, and forming tablets with a compression press. Such soft-chew dosage forms have hardness of less than about two kilopond (2 kp) and friability of less than about one percent (1%) at three-hundred (300) rotations when measured according to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) test. The process for manufacturing such compressed soft-chew tablets employs compression (tablet) pressing equipment to produce soft-chew tablets of consistent weight and texture.

The invention relates to a combination of: naringin; and chlorogenic acid; for use in the treatment or prevention of dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome and hypercholesterolemia. The invention also relates to compositions comprising the combination.
