DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0231] The present invention relates to methods for the production of stable formulations comprising molecular dispersions containing water soluble, water-insoluble or only slightly soluble, at room temperature, solid biologically active agents. The particles have an average particle diameter from 1 nm-1000 nm. Thus, a low microparticle content is allowed in the particle population.

[0232] An advantage of the present invention is the ability to form stable formulations with low surfactant concentrations or without surfactants. Thus, preferably the formulations include no surfactants or stabilizers and if used will use no more than 5% surfactants.

[0233] A dispersed phase may be a solid in liquid or solid in a semi-solid, whereby the dispersed phase includes one or more active agents that may optionally be pure or substantially pure. The average particle diameter of the dispersed phase may be between 1 nm and 1000 nm (determined with photon correlation spectroscopy), preferably with a narrow population distribution, i.e. a narrow population size ranges from two times as large to one half as small as the median particle size.

Advantages of the Formulations

[0234] The use of the present formulations for drug delivery provides many advantages from pharmaceutical-technological, biopharmaceutical, pharmacological and medical points of view. A few examples are: [0235] The uptake rate increases with an increase in the particle surface according to the law of Noyes-Whitney. This corresponds to an increase in the flow rate of active ingredients in drug delivery whereby the maximum plasma level is achieved faster (e.g. oral or intravenous application of a formulation). The present formulations are therefore of interest for active agents for which the rate of dissolution is an important factor for bioavailability. [0236] Intravenous delivery of water insoluble active ingredients can be made possible by use of the present formulations. Many active ingredients used in pharmaceuticals are partially insoluble or insoluble in water and/or organic solvents. Formulations processed using application of the current invention may be deliverable orally as liquids avoiding the need, risks and difficulties of intravenous and intramuscular application. Furthermore, liquid oral applications of these nanofluidized dispersions may present a more effective means of delivery to the body as compared with intramuscular injections. Pharmacological testing is generally not possible after oral or intravenous application due to the low bioavailability of such solids as a result of their low solubility. Furthermore, it is typically not possible to prepare a solution of these insoluble active materials having sufficient active agent therein to be suitable for intravenous injection. When a solid active ingredient is administered in the present formulations, it can be injected without blocking blood capillaries. When a nanofluidized formulation including an active ingredient is injected, the active ingredient can dissolve into the blood volume, which is relatively large compared to the injection volume (for example 20 mL to 6 L), the blood proteins often having an additional solubilizing effect. [0237] A reduction in the injection volume of active agents may be achieved by preparing a nanofluidized formulation. When active ingredients with low water solubility are formulated in a solution, a relatively large volume of the solution is required to be administered to a subject to achieve the desired result. Alternatively, when the active ingredient is formulated as a nanofluidized formulation, the same amount of the drug may be dispersed in a saturated solution of the active ingredient with a significantly smaller volume. For example, an infusion could be replaced by a bolus injection. [0238] Nanofluidized formulations may be used for controlled active agent application. After oral administration, oral immunization could take place via the M cells in the gastrointestinal tract, and selective enrichment in absorption windows of the gastrointestinal tract can be achieved with bioadhesives. The formulations of the invention can be coadministered through the use of bioadhesives. [0239] Nanofluidized formulations may be used as delivery systems for targeting of the active agent. After intravenous injection, particles accumulate in certain organs, e.g. liver, spleen or bone marrow, depending on their surface properties (RH Mller, Colloidal Carriers for Controlled Drug Delivery and Targeting, Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft, Stuttgart, 1991). After parenteral administration, accumulation in the lymphatic system may occur. Targeted enrichment of the active agent at the site of action can reduce side effects and increase the therapeutic efficiency and thus improve the therapeutic index.

[0240] In one aspect, this application is directed towards application of nanofluidized formulations for delivery of biologically active agents, either singly or in various combinations, e.g. multi-vitamin/mineral supplements. As an illustrative, albeit non-limiting example, the Figures show that fat-soluble Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), when administered via the mucosal membrane as a spray, achieves higher blood concentration of CoQ10 when administered as a nanofluidized formulation, as compared to CoQ10 administered in a liquid formulation that was not nanofluidized. By extension, this aspect applies to other insoluble or partially soluble biologically active agents that can be provided in nanofluidized formulations.

[0241] While not wishing to be bound to any theory of operation, there are several mechanisms that may account for the increased absorption of CoQ10, or other biologically active agents, when formulated as a nanofluidized formulation via the oral mucosal route. First, it is theorized that there is a greater concentration of biologically active agent at the active mucosal surface. There are two possible explanations for this phenomenon: [0242] 1) Increased Concentration at the Mucosal MembraneUsing the nanofluidized formulations, more molecules can be dispersed in a smaller unit volume of fluid thereby allowing a greater number of molecules to come into contact with the mucosal membrane, over a shorter period of time. This increases the absorption of the biologically active agent via the mucosal membrane and enhances the probability that more molecules will be absorbed than from non-nanofluidized formulations. [0243] 2) Increased Passive InfusionAs a result of the increased local concentration of the biologically active agent, there may be a greater passive diffusion gradient across the mucosal membrane, ultimately resulting in greater plasma levels.

[0244] Another theory is nanofluidized formulations stimulate active transport of the molecules across the mucosal membrane. It is theorized that the nanofluidized formulations may stimulate greater active transport of compounds across the mucosal membrane by bringing a greater concentration of active agent into contact with specific receptor sites.

[0245] In another aspect, the present invention also provides a method for the delivery of a biologically active agent enhanced by the formation of a stable uniform formulations. While illustrative examples are limited to human subjects, the technology is in no way limited by said examples. The formulations which are the subject of the instant invention are contemplated for use in medical or veterinary settings, or for the delivery of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or other nutrients to plants, animals or humans, and may be administered in any suitable manner known in the art. The preferred embodiment, as illustrated herein, is formulated to be sprayed into the mouth of a human or animal, whereby absorption via the oral mucosa is accomplished. For plants or aquaculture enrichment, the processed formulations can be applied directly into hydroponic water or irrigation water supplies. For aquaculture the processed formulations can likewise be added directly into the water environment or otherwise infused into solid aqua food sources.

[0246] A biologically active agent, biological agent, active ingredient, agent or drug, as used herein, refers to any synthetic or natural element or compound, protein, cell, or tissue including a pharmaceutical, therapeutic, nutritional supplement, herb, hormone, or the like, or any combinations thereof, which when introduced into the body causes a desired biological response, such as altering body function or altering cosmetic appearance.

[0247] The terms vitamin B-12 and B-12 are used interchangeably herein and refer to any supplemental form known to the skilled artisan including, albeit not limited to: cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, conjugates, mixtures or combinations thereof.

[0248] To convert the nanofluidizable mixture to the stable, uniform formulation of the present invention, the mixture may be subjected to treatment with an ultra-high energy mixing device. This is preferably achieved through the process of nanofluidization. A nanofluidizer high pressure homogenizer processor is a device that provides high shear rates, thereby providing a high energy-per-unit fluid volume to produce uniform submicron particles of chemical or particulate substances. Process pressures are highly variable, ranging from about 5,000 psi to about 45,000 psi, enabling the processing of a wide variety of fluids ranging from simple oil-in-water emulsions to high-weight-percent solids-in-liquid suspensions.

[0249] The nanofluidizer contains an air-powered intensifier pump designed to supply the desired pressure at a constant rate to the product stream. As the pump travels through its pressure stroke, it drives the product at a constant pressure through precisely defined fixed-geometry microchannels within the interaction chamber. As a result, the product stream accelerates to high velocities, creating shear rates within the product stream that are orders of magnitude greater than other conventional mixers. All of the product experiences essentially identical processing conditions, producing the desired results, including substantially uniform particle size reduction.

[0250] As a result of the high shear rate there is produced a mixture containing substantially uniform submicron particles and the creation of stable emulsions and dispersions can be achieved. This processing overcomes limitations of conventional processing technologies by utilizing high pressure streams that collide at ultra-high velocities in precisely defined microchannels. The final product is a stable uniform nanofluidized formulation.

[0251] The high pressure homogenizers preferred by the present method provide a combination of high shear, cavitation, and impact in addition to the following features: [0252] a) Enhanced quality controls, [0253] b) Production volumes of 1000 liters of liquid formulation processed an hour at 45,000 psi. [0254] c) Modular and flexible mechanical operation from a non-fixed platform enabling multiple processing set ups. [0255] d) Higher and more constant processing pressures enable reduced variation in process resulting in tighter molecular distribution. [0256] e) Tight particle size distribution of 200 nm to 1 nm [0257] f) Fewer passes required reducing material processing time and machine wear [0258] g) the ability to monitor and record data specific for each product lot enabling product controls and the ability to monitor processing elements for enhancement and optimization of product capabilities. Examples of such data elements may include, flow rates, pressures applied, cleaning cycles, product run times, and other elements that can impact the optimization of the products in processing, [0259] h) real time and remote monitoring of production processes enhancing product consistency to reduce risks of product variability leasing to greater product optimization through product consistency, [0260] i) enable standardization of processing, monitoring, and possibly, integration across multiple production machines or locations, enhancing product consistency and quality, and [0261] j) enable improved regulatory record keeping enhancing quality.

[0262] These homogenizers also have the ability to modularize and tailor machine configuration to customize to a desired sizing, geometry, and morphology of small particle sized formulations, enabling a targeted metabolic effect, enrichment and enhanced processing of the formulations. The homogenizer may include a modular intensifier design which enables constant high pressure across stroke cycles. The homogenizers may include heavy duty, long cycle strokes which reduce machine wear and resulting costs.

[0263] The homogenizers employed by the present method may be configured to independently control each of shear, cavitation, and impact. This modularity allows the ability to customize each of these three factors to improve results for various applications.

[0264] For example, cavitation may be tuned to use gentler or harsher forces by varying nozzle size or operating pressure and back pressure, thereby enabling customizable processing of the formulations. The flow rate may be adjusted to adjust for turbulent premixing vs laminar flow. The shear processing time can be adjusted to be shorter or longer. The homogenization may be carried out at a constant pressure which increases the longevity of seals while eliminating purging and priming issues. This reduces cost.

[0265] These homogenizers are particularly useful as they provide the following benefits: A) particle size reduction; B) extension of product shelf life; C) improved sensorial properties such as rapid penetration and merging textures; D) improved biophysical properties such as hydrating power; E) color and flavor retention; F) improved texture; G) supports the growing demand for organic and preservative free products; H) vitamins and antioxidants stay in the formulations rather than being removed and then re-added; and I) pharmaceutical and supplement suspensions that mask the bitter taste of active drugs or supplemental inputs. Improving taste and reducing bitterness will increase user compliance and therefore enhance the beneficial effects of the formulations; J) achievable small, uniform particles, enabling purification of formulations simply by running them through a 0.22-micron filter; K) achieving the desired particle sizes of 1 nm to 1000 nm; L) creating stable emulsions, and dispersions with particles at equilibrium; and M) increased efficacy of the resulting products as described elsewhere herein.

[0266] The use of this homogenizer may be applied to provide a more consistent dosing per unit volume thereby reducing the bitter taste of active drugs or supplemental inputs. Such a means of improving taste and reducing bitterness can increase user compliance and therefore the beneficial effects of the formulations.

[0267] The stability and rate of absorption may be further enhanced by one or more components within the formulation. In addition, the rate of absorption of the final product may be enhanced by the uniformity or size of the biologically active agent containing particles in the formulations.

[0268] Permeation enhancers that may be utilized in the present invention include the conventional physiologically acceptable compounds generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for human consumption. Without being bound to theory, the formulation of the present invention may not include surfactant to assist in decreasing particle size. However, surfactants may be included based on formulation requirements, the surfactant levels will be less than 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the formulation.

[0269] Theoretically, such dispersions should allow molecules to be delivered across tissue barriers at a more even rate than non-nanofluidized or normal solutions. Smaller, more uniform size molecules should enable quicker cellular absorption. The smaller molecules absorb into the cell more quickly reducing residual actives remaining in the blood than with molecules prepared by standard pharmacological methods and delivered either by oral mucosal or intestinal absorption.

[0270] By using the nanofluidization process to prepare mixtures of biologically active agents, e.g. vitamins and other nutritional supplements, products may be designed, manufactured and standardized for use in spray applicators which deliver single dose sprays to the mucosal membranes. The purpose of this type of delivery is to introduce such biologically active agents, e.g. vitamins and minerals, into the body in a manner which allows, over time, more rapid, uniform and complete absorption than in the form of pills, tablets, capsules or liquids which are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. The spray delivery system can likewise reduce the need, risks and inconvenience of less efficient intramuscular injection delivery systems that displace actives in the muscle reducing actives available at the sites of action. In addition, the nanofluidization process appears to offer increases in shelf-life, with testing showing a shelf-life of about 2 years.

[0271] In another aspect, a Quadro HV emulsifier and Wet Mill may be used to achieve high shear rotor/stator mixing to pretreat the desired formulations. This homogenizer is designed for emulsification in a single pass, and capable of wet milling some active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's) to achieve particle diameters of about 10-20 microns. Operating at extremely high rotational velocity, tooling tip speeds up to 70 m/s can be achieved providing more than 55 times the shear energy input compared with conventional rotor-stator systems. This performance fills the gap between existing rotor/stator technologies and high pressure homogenizers. It provides dry powder deagglomeration and size reduction, sizing and grading of powders, wet mass granulation for efficient and even drying, fine particle size reduction, size reduction of heat sensitive products, and security screening of free flowing and sticky products.

[0272] The present invention may employ the homogenizers of U.S. Pat. No. 4,768,722 to prepare the formulation. Specifically, the homogenizer may include a series of screens that can be used interchangeably with a size reduction machine, a gap size remaining constant without any adjustment, said screens having different wall thicknesses. The size reduction machine may include a mechanism externally of the machine to adjust the size of the gap. The machine may also include a mechanism for setting up the gap between the impeller and the screen of a size reduction machine. The machine may be easily disassembled for cleaning.

[0273] The present invention may employ the homogenizers of U.S. Pat. No. 8,651,230 to prepare the formulation. These homogenizers apply sonication through high shear forces created by ultrasonic cavitation to break up particle agglomerates resulting in smaller and more uniform particles sizes. The stable, homogenous suspensions produced by ultrasonics are widely used in many industries today. The application of probe sonication and sonicators to the molecular dispersion formulations improves dispersion, reduces deagglomeration and particle size, mitigates particle synthesis and precipitation, as well as improving surface functionalization.

[0274] The present invention may employ the homogenizers of U.S. Pat. No. 7,052,172 to prepare the formulations. These homogenizers employ two distinct types of methods commonly used for molecular dispersions. Mixing of the molecular dispersions, can involve agitating or stirring the components utilizing a low-shear process with no significant micron-level particle size reduction in the joined components. Mixing is often used for combining two soluble fluids, dissolving solids into fluids before the supersaturation point, and similar activities. Additionally, homogenizing, can involve disaggregating or emulsifying the components utilizing a high-shear process with significant micron-level particle size reduction of the molecular dispersion. Homogenizing is often used for creating emulsions, reducing agglomerate particles to increase surface area, and similar activities.

[0275] The present invention may employ nanofluidizers according to US 2020/0254407. These portable nanofluidic mixer systems can include a blend application to issue blend instructions to a nanofluidic mixer device. The nanofluidic mixer device includes a housing, nanofluidic pumps and valves within the device housing, a nanofluidic dispenser, a nanofluidic mixer chip, and a mix controller. The nanofluidic mixer chip receives and meters nanofluidic amounts of one or more fluids. The mix controller electronically communicates with the blend application to receive blending instructions. The nanofluidic mixer device includes fluid pathways for fluid communication between one or more fluid canisters and the nanofluidic mixer chip, and between the nanofluidic mixer chip and the nanofluidic dispenser. The mix controller controls the nanofluidic pumps and the nanofluidic valves, to control a system pressure within the nanofluidic mixer device, for the delivery of the one or more fluids to the nanofluidic mixer chip, and to dispense a nanofluidic mixture from the nanofluidic dispenser.

[0276] The present invention may employ the nanofluidizer of US 2021/0283610 to prepare the formulations. These nanofluidizers are capable of controlling the geometries and dimensions of nanofluidic devices such that one can manipulate not only the position of particles suspended within a fluid sample, but also portions of the fluid itself to enable substantial increases in particle concentration for large quantities of the fluid sample or to filter fluid samples of undesired particles. For example, careful control of the geometries and dimensions of a nanofluidic device can, in certain implementations, be used to alter the concentration of particles within a fluid sample through shifting the particles across fluid streamlines.

[0277] The present invention may employ the nanofluidizer of U.S. Pat. No. 7,461,799 to prepare the formulations. These nanofluidizers are capable of pulverizing material which is then combined with high-pressure to form a gas-solids suspension, which through acceleration nozzles is conveyed to the pulverizing chamber of a counterjet pulverizer for autogenous pulverization. This nanofluidizer is suitable for industrial production of dispersed powders, by means of which it is possible to produce for the processing industry necessary powders and coating agents and pigments which are finer than before and which are most economical, effective and solid. These dispersed powders can be applied to the production of the molecular dispersion formulations.

[0278] The present invention may employ the nanofluidizers of EP 2 498 753 to prepare the formulations. These nanofluidizers provide methods of preparation of an oral nanosuspension of a poorly soluble biologically active material with improved bioavailability.

[0279] Many new chemical entities are too potent, too toxic, or too water-insoluble, making them undesirable candidates. Potency and toxicity are intrinsic to molecular design and are typically best remedied by altering or refining chemical structure. On the other hand, poor solubility typically leads to poor oral bioavailability, fed/fasted variations in bioavailability, cumbersome and inconvenient dosage forms, and may necessitate the use of harsh solubilizing agents that are associated with adverse side effects. A new generation of nanoparticulate delivery systems specifically designed for resolving formulation issues associated with these poorly water-soluble compounds can be used to address one or more of these problems (see, e.g., Liversidge G, Cundy K. Particle size reduction for improvement of oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs: I. Absolute oral bioavailability of nanocrystalline danazol in beagle dogs, Int. J. Pharm. 1995, 125:91-97).

[0280] Molecular dispersions, in comparison to micronized drug particles, have significantly greater surface area. The increase in surface area enhances dissolution rate, thereby improving delivery efficiency for the most commonly-used routes of administration (Jinno J, et al. Effect of particle size reduction on dissolution and oral absorption of a poorly water-soluble drug, cilostazol, in beagle dogs, J. Cont. Rel. 2006, 206 (111): 56-64).

[0281] The formulations prepared by the method of the present application may deliver biologically active agents in amounts that provide dosing ranges to reduce the risk of toxicity. The present invention also relates to methods and systems for determining suitable dosing ranges for delivering the biologically active agents to a subject. The system includes a computational biology platform for scalable integration of molecular pathway models to enable predictive and quantitative understanding of complex biomolecular processes and diseases to determine risk, toxicity, and efficacy early in the product development process. For example, human cells may be tested for their ability to absorb each biologically active agent. A minimum dosing value is determined when a concentration of the biologically active agent is detected by the testing system. The maximum dosing value is determined when a human cell has achieved full saturation of the biologically active agent. The data for a single cell can be extrapolated for determining a saturation dosage of the biologically active agent. Once full saturation is achieved, any excess biologically active agent would be dispensed out of the body with no additional benefit. Computational testing methods to determine dosing ranges will be developed for each individual active agent. Minimum dosing levels will be determined by the initial entry point of the active agent into the cell, Cellular saturation levels will also be determined and established as a maximum dose unless toxic levels are achieved prior to cellular saturation.

[0282] The methods of preparing the formulations of the present invention may be particularly helpful for reducing nutritional deficiencies. Formulations prepared by the method of the present invention may provide improved absorption of biologically active agents. For example, the formulations of a Vitamin B-12, Super B-Complex and CoQ-10 prepared by the methods of the present invention may include the following biologically active agents, formulations and/or characteristics: [0283] 1) Vitamin B-12-Vitamin B-12 has been used for treatment of anemia, energy deficiencies, autism, depression, and even for improving female fertility among other conditions. B-12 is not found in plant-based foods, making the world's vegetarian populations, at particular risk of B-12 deficiency. In a clinical study, patients with Pernicious Anemia using nanofluidized Vitamin B12 were able to regenerate their abnormal red blood cells to normal within 30 days. This would take much longer to accomplish even with Vitamin B12 injections. In addition, new findings show that Vitamin B12 assists in keeping the mental capacities sharp in older ages by deferring onset of dementia in the elderly.

[0284] For example, a composition including vitamin B-12 may include the following active ingredients in the following dosing ranges (mg):

TABLE-US-00004 Dosing Ranges in mg Active Ingredients Minimum Maximum Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin or 0.12 30 Methycobalamin) [0285] 2) Super B-Complex-B vitamins play a vital role in maintaining good health and well-being. As the building blocks of a healthy body, B vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism. This includes assisting in lowering homocysteine levels in patients and treating serious cases of anemia. B vitamins, including folic acid, B6, and B12, may help lower blood levels of homocysteine. Research has implicated high homocysteine levels in heart disease and stroke.

[0286] For example, a composition including Super B-Complex may include the following active ingredients in the following dosing ranges (mg)

TABLE-US-00005 Dosing Ranges in mg Active Ingredients Minimum Maximum Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 0.12 6.6 Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 0.13 7.2 Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 1.6 88.0 Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 0.5 27.5 Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine 0.17 9.35 Vitamin B7 (Biotin) 0.003 .165 Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) 0.04 2.2 Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin 0.001 25 or Methylcobalamin) [0287] 3) CoQ10 ComplexCoenzyme Q10 is a natural antioxidant synthesized in the body. Coenzyme Q10 is vital to just about every function in the body especially involving oxygen utilization and energy production in the heart. It assists in maintaining the normal oxidative state of LDL cholesterol, helps assure circulatory health, and supports optimal functioning of the heart muscle. CoQ10 may also help support the health of vessel walls. Statin Drug (Lipitor, Crestor etc.) users are particularly at risk for CoQ10 deficiency. When CoQ10 is added to a supplementation program, bioavailability absorption are dramatically increased. When compared to the market leading CoQ10 in a comparative 29-day blood study, it was found that the nanofluidized CoQ10 was over 18 times better absorbed at 100 mg or over 4.5 times better absorbed at a 25 mg dose.

[0288] For example, a composition including CoQ10 may include the following active ingredients in the following dosing ranges (mg):

TABLE-US-00006 Dosing Ranges in mg Active Ingredients Minimum Maximum CoQ10 (Ubiquinone or Ubiquinol) 2.5 137.5 Vitamin E (tocophersolan) 3.9 214.5 L-Carnitine 5 275

[0289] Nutrient formulations can be used to grow superior organic fruits and vegetables. This process will yield better quality produce in less time with an increasing nutritional value to the consumer. In this manner, enriched nutrients can be supplied to the root structure of plants increasing the capability of absorption. Recirculating and processed rich nutrient formulations may enhance the absorption, speed of growth and quality of hydroponically grown crops: [0290] Increase in the rates of nutrient absorption and water uptake #Enhanced root growth [0291] Efficient uptake of nutrients [0292] Reduction of volume and concentrations of nutrients [0293] Ratios at which nutrients are absorbed

[0294] A Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) is defined as a thin film of oxygen rich nutrient formulation that flows gently down sloped, flat-bottomed gullies (plastic channels), which contain the plant roots with no solid planting media in a hydroponic system.

[0295] Recirculating and processed nutrient formulations provide a useful and unique system in the stage of plant growth and rates of nutrient uptake by the plant's root mat. Also, a decreased dose of nutrient solution may be all that is required by the crop, resulting in optimum growth.

[0296] The present invention also relates to a system for the enrichment and preparation of formulations. The system includes several modules for the processing, enrichment, delivery, formulation, and absorptive measurement that may be combined in different combinations for making formulations of supplements and pharmaceuticals. . . . An example of such a system is described below. The system of the invention may include some or all of the modules set forth herein in any combination.

[0297] A first module of the system is employed to identify a suitable dosing range for each biologically active agent employed in the formulation. The first module may be used to implement a process including steps of testing a cell's ability to absorb the one or more water soluble, partially water soluble active ingredient(s) and/or the one or more partially oil soluble active ingredient(s), as determined by using a computational system for scalable integration of molecular pathway models to enable predictive and quantitative understanding of complex biomolecular processes and diseases to determine risk, toxicity, and efficacy. This platform enables product manufacturers to gain insights to understand how particular ingredients and/or single molecules act upon a particular indication or molecular mechanism of action. The detailed insights provide manufacturers a powerful capability to determine how to formulate truly efficacious products and articulate the value of those ingredients and formulations to their customers and consumers.

[0298] Examples of suitable computational systems that may be employed in the present invention are taught by U.S. Publication No. 2015/0305630, U.S. Publication No. 2012/0095735; Al-Lazikani, Bissan, et al.

[0299] The aforementioned computational systems are advantageous for formulating suitable dosing ranges since they can be used to produce precise workable formulations to deal with problem diseases or preexisting conditions, they can mitigate toxicity by modeling to determine proper dosages, thereby avoiding dosage problems and toxic dosages for single or multi-ingredient vitamins and/or supplements or other biologically active agents, and they can produce optimal dosages for single or multi-ingredient combinations of vitamins, supplements, and/or other biologically active agents.

[0300] Traditional methods of target discovery have relied on in vitrolin vivo studies and sometimes molecular dynamics analysis. However, these methods are ad hoc and do not use the computational system biology approach based on a mechanistic understanding of the underlying biology. Target identification is a key step in drug development. Based on systematic literature review in disease, targets are identified from a cell or microenvironment. Differential sensitivity of individual drugs and molecular targets in computational models are validated with in vivo and in vitro experimental data from the literature repository. Finally, validated computational models can be used to avoid repetitive wet lab experiments. Target identification and validation would be concurrently used to test the combination of different drugs. The computational systems disclosed herein and in silico mechanistic models provide a breakthrough methodology to discover and validate targets cheaper and faster.

[0301] The present method of using computational models disclosed herein were employed to optimize a combination of curcumin and resveratrol, two natural anti-inflammatory compounds. In silico models of inflammation were developed and individuals tested, also, the combination of curcumin and resveratrol on the levels of inflammation was determined. Although both curcumin and resveratrol reduced the inflammation levels by 66% and 60%, respectively, when combined at much lower dosage levels, the inflammation was reduced by 75%. This is an example of the synergistic effect of combination drugs that can achieve higher efficacy at low dosage levels of therapeutics, employing the method of the present invention.

[0302] Diverse responses of target or biomarker induced toxicity through different signaling pathways are identified through systematic literature review. Computational models are constructed to identify the impact of each drug or ingredient on susceptible targets or biomarkers. PancreaSolve's platform evaluates the paradox effect of drugs or ingredients in combination which enables the safety and toxicity analysis. Doses of either drug and/or ingredient in various combinations are tested to identify the threshold dose required to provide a desired effect.

[0303] The effect of the combination of arginine and caffeine on nitric oxide production was evaluated. This combination is sometimes found in dietary supplements taken by military personnel. The analysis revealed that arginine alone increased the nitric oxide concentration whereas caffeine alone reduced the nitric oxide concentration, both in healthy individuals. In combination, the results indicated that production rate in healthy individuals did not increase significantly by arginine supplementation. On the other hand, arginine supplementation attenuated a near zero production rate to nearly normal levels in hyperglycemic/hypertensive individuals.

[0304] Low impact, minimally intrusive neurological and physiological testing can be applied through the use of Heart Rate Variability monitoring and/or monitoring and/or measurement of electric fields in the body to enable rapid determination of the effects on the brain and the body of altered dosage levels of biologically active agents on the subjects. By applying adjusted levels of the biologically active agent to the subject and measuring HRV, efficient and effective dosing levels and their resulting metabolic effects can be defined.

[0305] For example, the method may further comprise a step of testing a subject that received the one or more enriched formulations using a transformative non-contact, optionally artificial intelligence (AI) powered remote photonic virtual health testing, such as taught by U.S. Pub. No. US2022/0254502 A1. The non-contact and AI powered remote photonic virtual health testing may include a non-contact and non-invasive apparatus for monitoring the health characteristics of a user. The apparatus may include one or more cameras and a processor for collecting and analyzing real-time video of the user and for processing at least each frame from the obtained real-time video. One or more facial regions may be processed to extract images based on physiological monitoring model along with photo plethsmography imagining (iPPG) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) variation to obtain at least one result indicative of health characteristics, such as pulse rate, or respiration rate, or blood oxygen levels (Spo2), or blood pressure, or temperature of the user, or concentration of the one or more enriched formulations in the blood stream of the subject. This testing method may be employed to identify suitable dosing ranges for the patient.

[0306] Listed below are relevant Publications from A Collection of Research Papers on Biomedical Engineering published by Docsun Biomedical Research Institute (ISBN: 978-620-4-73864-2). This publication describes the use of non-invasive technology in the field of medicine to help in solving everyday health problems.

[0307] NON-INVASIVE BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL MEASUREMENT FOR MONITORING HEALTH STATE, Julian Gerald Dcruz, Jan Yeh, Ted Huang. Docsun Biomedical Research Institute, 4F-2, No.267, Lequn 2nd Rd. Zhongshan District, pages 30-49 discuss using methods of non-invasive technology to determine blood glucose levels through transmittance spectroscopy on the nose lobe, the lower regions of the eyes and lower forehead regions. These non-invasive methods employ, for example spectrometry or analysis of other parameters that are related to glucose levels. The non-invasive methods of monitoring the blood glucose levels are based on the concentration of glucose from its thermal, chemical, electrical or optical sensing properties. Other sensed properties can also be used such as thermal conductivity, electric and acoustic impedance and electromagnetic response. This is due to the human body's different physiological responses to changes in glucose levels.

[0308] The measurement of glucose levels can be done on a continuous and real time monitoring basis or it can be done by activation of a single measurement on demand which is treated as a substitute sample of that obtained from the existing invasive methods. The final result can be obtained either immediately or with a particular delay.

[0309] Glucose measurement systems can employ one or more of thermal, chemical, electrical, impedance, electromagnetic or acoustic properties. The technology that is used to analyze the sensed information may include optical, transdermal, and thermal conductivity as well as autonomic dysfunction (HRV-based), electromagnetic response and nanotechnology.

[0310] Optical noninvasive glucose measurement operates on the principle that light that meets biological tissues is reflected, scattered and transmitted in a manner that us proportional to the structure and chemical components of the sample. The following methods may be used in noninvasive detection of glucose levels in the human body: [0311] a) Infrared spectroscopy. [0312] b) Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The absorption of light by human tissues is closely related to its wavelength. UV light is easily absorbed by proteins and DNA, visible light by hemoglobin, while infrared light is easily absorbed by water. Near-infrared (NIR, 680-2500 nm) and mid-infrared (MIR, 2500-25,000 nm) have more ideal detection spectra since the NIR range can easily penetrate biofluids and soft tissues and it scatters less than UV or visible light. Therefore, sensing and measurement can be achieved by both reflection and transmission. Various wavelengths are analyzed because of the weak absorption of water and the relatively high energy of the signal that is measured depending on the molecular structure and the absorption spectrum ability. Various medical devices use this technique including Dream Beam, Diasensor, SugarTrac and MedOptix. For more accurate results, the measurements are taken in the earlobes, fingers, forearms, oral mucosa and lips.

[0313] Transdermal noninvasive glucose measurements can also be employed.

[0314] The conventional devices that are used for the monitoring of blood glucose mainly use the electrochemical method. This method requires the drawing of a small amount of blood using either the finger-pricking method or use of a thin lancet that is implanted into the skin. The present invention may employ various noninvasive techniques for the measurement of blood glucose levels. Various technologies are discussed and the criteria for their classification, special focus being given to transdermal and optical based techniques that are both common and suitable for use in glucose monitoring.

[0315] Another paper that discusses a suitable methodology for use in the present invention is, NON-INVASIVE METHODS TO DETECT CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND HOW IT COMPARES TO STANDARD LIPID TEST, Julian Gerald Dcruz, Paichang Yeh, Ted Huang and Isabel Karungari Makara. Docsun Biomedical Research Institute, 4F-2, No.267, Lequn 2nd Rd. Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. See pages 50 to 64.

[0316] On such technique is hyperspectral imaging. In this method, the total cholesterol levels of the person are estimated from his/her facial skin lesion (Xanthelasma) using hyper spectral image analysis. Using sensors utilizing infrared light absorption cholesterol level detection is done using sensors utilizing infrared light absorption in body tissues, to simplify the measurement of blood cholesterol levels. It uses a device that monitors cholesterol using an infrared sensor with IR LED-940 nm wavelength as a transmitter. A photodiode detector is used with the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm and a microcontroller as the minimum system for controlling the value of the output voltage in the form of digital data and then converted onto total blood cholesterol.

[0317] The paper, Respiratory Rate Importance in Covid-19 Methods and Solutions Than Can Help Curb Spread of Covid-19, Julian Gerald Dcruz, Jan Yeh, Ted Huang. Docsun Biomedical Research Institute, 4F-2, No.267, Lequn 2nd Rd., Zhongshan District, pages 65-79 describes alternative smart devices for use in remote respiratory rate monitoring. The following devices can be used for the remote respiratory rate monitoring: [0318] a) a camera, e.g. of a smart device can be used to record the respiratory rate from the respiratory-induced chest wall movements or superficial changes in face perfusion of a patient. [0319] b) a microphone of, e.g. a smartphone can be used to record the respiratory rate from the breathing sounds of the patient, [0320] c) an instrumented mattress can be adopted for continuous respiratory rate monitoring by registering the breathing-related chest wall movements of the patient, [0321] d) radio wave or Wi-Fi signal sources and receivers can be used for registering respiratory rate values through the modulation of the transmitted signals by respiratory-related thoracic movements (no body sensors are needed), and [0322] e) A smart garment (e.g., a strap with conductive strain sensors) can be used to record respiratory rate continuously from the respiratory-related periodic changes in chest wall circumference, even during daily activities (e.g., walking).

[0323] Some of these methods involve registering a short video capturing the torso area or the face of the patient, the respiratory rate (and other vital signs like heart rate) can then be streamed for data collection. A good example is The Docsun Health Monitoring System, a device used for the prediction of the physiological state of the recipient by uploading or recording a video of 15 seconds with all the facial features visible. A health report Summary is generated based on the prediction of the Physiological state of the recipient, the summary contains information of vital signs (biomarkers) temperature, heart rate, spo2 level, breathing rate, and eye coloration readings predicted by the AI system and a detailed summary based on the predicted vital signs stating whether the patient is having an infection or is in a normal state.

[0324] This remote, non-contact optical testing will enable rapid, real-time, self-administered test and monitoring feedback from a wide, dispersed, locationally distant group of enriched formula users. These users and/or their health care providers as well as formulators can track the users results from administration of specific active biologically active agents over time after intaking formulas made by the present methods. Populations in remote areas, the infirm, non-mobile or other difficult to access and/or underrepresented health communities globally can participate in simple, minimally intrusive testing and monitoring. This rapid, portable, accessible, economical, and broad virtual visual optical testing and monitoring ability will improve the feedback loop for products produced by the present methods thereby enabling speedy formulation refinement cycles as well as quickly confirming the efficacy of the enriched formulas on their own or compared to traditional or existing commercial products.

[0325] A second module of the system may be employed for enriching the formulation and/or one or more components of the formulation. The enriching module may employ laser enrichment, photonic energy enrichment, mixing the formulation with revitalized water or infusing the molecular dispersion with hydrogen gas.

[0326] Revitalized water may be prepared by inducing water vortices in a natural water input. Water vortices have long been known as water's way of self-cleaning and energizing itself and the environment. Water revitalizers use a specific flow form geometry to establish a balanced vortex motion within the input water. A dual or double helix vortex is applied to the input water to induce water revitalization. This revitalized water may also provide revitalization benefits to the surrounding liquid solution further optimizing the effectiveness and stability of the formulation.

[0327] Water Revitalization may provide the following benefits: [0328] A) Increased energy and clarity (increased photonic and biofield energy), [0329] B) More resilient immune system (increased bioavailable oxygen), [0330] C) Better hydration (increased absorption through reduced surface tension), [0331] D) Reduced toxins and radicals (alters their molecular and energetic structure and makes them less harmful), [0332] E) Better health and well-being (significant bioavailability, trace minerals and surplus energy), [0333] F) Smoother water for greater ease in processing (reduced water surface tension), [0334] G) Enhanced nutrient absorption (tighter packed and more organized molecules), and [0335] H) Improved circulation and reduced swelling (increased absorption through reduced surface tension).

[0336] The present method may include laser enrichment as a method for improving the bioavailability of the one or more biologically active agents including subjecting the one or more biologically active agents to laser radiation as described herein. Laser radiation modifies the one or more biologically active agents which thereby modifies reactions within the body.

[0337] Laser enrichment may include subjecting the formulation to a collimated or near collimated laser beam. The laser beam may be manipulated using a phase cancellation optical element through which the beam is passed. The phase cancellation optical element may, for example, include a series combination of a first diffraction grating, a refractive element and a second diffraction grating, whereby a pattern of interference of constructive and destructive nodes is formed in which a diameter of the beam is set to be a sufficiently low multiple of a wavelength of a beat frequency to allow a substantial Fresnel zone to be apparent in the beam. This type of laser enrichment can be tuned to enrich specific components of the formulations as required to provide higher levels of biologically active agents in smaller volumes of the formulation.

[0338] Usually, laser electromagnetism (EM) excites and tends to decay into fast non-specific heat effect by scattering the medium. On the contrary, radiating polarized EM (polarization) and field structure can remain stable in a sparse phase long wave joint light beam (sparse constructive node beam). The molecules absorb laser energy in their polar and hydrophobic regions from the sparse phase of these long waves, thereby changing the molecular shape and thereby changing the chemical reactivity.

[0339] The present method may employ laser enrichment techniques as taught by WO 2004/071435, CN 101090733, and U.S. Pat. No. 10,040,728. These laser enrichment techniques demonstrate how laser enrichment may be used to improve bioavailability.

[0340] The method also relates to enriching formulations for use in hydroponics and enhancement of nutrification of plants, crops, and vegetative organisms.

[0341] The present method of enrichment has been found to increase Brix degree, nutrient transport and density, and yield of crops through the application of photoacoustic resonance to a nutrient molecular dispersion formulation. An activated nutrient molecular dispersion is obtained by forming an inactivated nutrient molecular dispersion and applying to the inactivated nutrient molecular dispersion a plurality of ultra-rapid impulses of modulated laser light, from one or more laser systems, wherein said ultra-rapid impulses are defined as impulses with molecular traverse rates ranging from 100 nanoseconds to 0.01 femtoseconds. In one embodiment, an increase of at least 10% in the Brix degree of the crop, relative to an inactivated nutrient molecular dispersion formulation, can be achieved. In addition, an increase of at least 10%, relative to an unactivated nutrient molecular dispersion formulation, is seen with respect to nutrient density and crop yield through application of the activated nutrient molecular dispersion.

[0342] In another aspect, the method of the present invention may include enriching the formulation via hydrogen gas infusion into the molecular dispersion without changing the pH. As a selective antioxidant, hydrogen gas has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation as well as improve mental clarity, prevent cognitive illness, and boost metal focus. These benefits and others of H.sub.2 gas are supported by extensive research and over 900 studies. These confirmational studies include Ohsawa I. et.al. Hydrogen Acts as a Therapeutic Antioxidant by Selectively Reducing Cytotoxic Oxygen Radicals, I. Nature Medicine 2007, 5; and Mizouno K. et.al. Hydrogen-Rich Water for Improvement of Mood, Anxiety, and Autonomic Nerve Function. Medical Gas Research 2017, 7:247-255.

[0343] Subatomic Light Energy can be applied to enrich processed molecular dispersions passively through proximate exposure to Photonic energizing devices that emit subatomic photonic light energy. Such subatomic Photonic light energy can enrich, support stability, enhance bioavailability, energize and even enable structuring of liquid molecular dispersions. The benefits to subatomic Photonic light Energy exposure for molecular dispersions can be measured through a) dark field microscopy; b) measurement of cellular absorption; and/or c) through other comparative efficacy measurements of the molecular dispersions.

[0344] A third module of the system may be applied for the delivery of a dose of the enriched formulation within a suitable dosing range to a subject. The third module may execute or direct the execution of a method including steps of delivering the formulation by contacting it with a subject, wherein said one or more active ingredient(s) is absorbed by said subject. In the contacting step, the formulation may be contacted with the oral or buccal mucosa of the subject, transdermally through the skin, through intravenous application, liquid injections or other routes of administration, whereby said one or more active ingredient(s) is absorbed into a bloodstream of said subject. Methods for delivery of the molecular dispersions may include oral sprays, droppers, oral liquids, transdermal patches, intravenous injections, intramuscular injections, nasal sprays, suppositories, gels and other suitable delivery means.

[0345] In another module, the dispersibility of the active agents may be enhanced using one or more gentle natural methods to reduce aggregates to nanoparticles or smaller. To stabilize the solutions, the following method may be employed: [0346] 1. A solvent, for example water, is used to mimic living systems. [0347] 2. The solvent is mildly heated to provide kinetic energy to relax the crystalline lattice of aggregates. [0348] 3. Next, the solvent is emulsified with natural components, for example, saponins, bile salts, phospholipids. [0349] 4. Natural co-solvents are added in certain amounts, based on the lipophilicity (LogP) and hydrophilic-lipophile balance (HLB) of the raw ingredients, for example, vegetable glycerin. [0350] 5. The pH is adjusted for optimal ionization and to decrease microbial growth. [0351] 6. Ionic salts are adjusted to stabilize charged molecules in solution, i.e. zeta potential. [0352] 7. Natural preservatives may be added, such as rosemarinic acid, glycerin, and potassium sorbate. (In low total dose of 840 mcl).

[0353] In a fourth module, the method may further comprise a step of analyzing data collected from testing the enriched one or more formulations using molecular systems modeling methodologies. Suitable examples of molecular systems modeling methodologies include: Bioinformatics analysis, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PKPD) Analysis, for determining solution bioavailability on the cell surface and intracellular absorption; In Silico testing, which may be employed for determining toxicity levels for solution inputs and combinations of inputs, such as taught by Koo, Andrew B, et al., mentioned above; and in vivo testing of the enriched one or more formulations.

EXAMPLES

Example 1CoQ10

[0354] A nanofluidized formulation was tested in an absorption study against a commercially available product. This leading competing product is considered to be the top cardiologist recommended supplement for ubiquinone, also known as Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). This leading CoQ10 product claims to be three times more absorbable and three times more effective than other CoQ10 oral supplements available on the market.

[0355] A nanofluidizable mixture with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as the biologically active agent was prepared according to the following procedure:

[0356] An aqueous solution was formed from about 74.0% (wt./wt.) of deionized water in an appropriately sized mixing vessel. Prior to the deionized water being added, approximately 3.2% (wt./wt.) CoQ10 (ubiquinone) was added to approximately 3.3% (wt./wt.) of Vitamin E (tocophersolan), which was heated at 75 C. for about 15 minutes.

[0357] After the deionized water was added, about 10.0% wt/wt vegetable glycerin (acting as a solvent and taste enhancer) was mixed into the heated solution. In addition, citric acid (as an acidulent/buffering agent) at about 1.0% wt./wt. potassium sorbate (a preservative) at about 0.10% wt./wt., l-carnitine (essential amino acid) at about 6.0% wt./wt., tropical flavor (taste enhancer) at about 2.0% wt./wt. were also added to the mixing vessel. Upon reaching complete dissolution, the compound emulsion appeared opaque, orange, with a measured pH of about 4.0 to about 5.0 and specific gravity (g/ml) of about 1.03 to about 1.1.

[0358] The crude emulsion was then processed through a model M-110Y MICROFLUIDIZER (Microfluidics Corporation, Newton, Mass.) under 20 kpsi. After a single pass, the mean particle size, according to S 3500 Microtrac particle size analyzer, was 134 nm and confirmed under a high-powered microscope, CytoViva 150 microscope, by a trained and skilled technician. The appearance of the solution did not change after processing.

[0359] The resulting stable uniform submicron emulsion was then placed into a spray vial with a fine mist nozzle. The particular nozzle provided thorough coverage of the oral cavity.

[0360] A patient had a blood test to determine a baseline of CoQ10 already present in their body on day 1, prior to administering the leading competing product in a dose of 100 mg per day, for 29 days. After 29 days of administration, the person's blood was tested again to determine the absorption level of CoQ10 in the bloodstream.

[0361] The same patient was tested about 7 months later to determine a new baseline of CoQ10 present in their body on day 1, prior to administering the prepared nanofluidized formulation of the present invention in a dose of 100 mg per day, for 29 days. After 29 days of administration, the person's blood was tested again to determine the absorption level of CoQ10 in the bloodstream. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE-US-00007 TABLE 1 CoQ10 Change in Concentration concentration CoQ10 after 29 from baseline Baseline days of to day 29 of Dose Concentration Dosing dosing Leading 100 mg/ 1.35 g/ml 1.46 g/ml 0.11 g/ml Competitive day product Nanofluidized 100 mg/ 1.01 g/ml 3.02 g/ml 2.01 g/ml Formulation day

[0362] As shown by the table above, the nanofluidized formulation provided a significant enhancement in absorption when compared to the leading competitive product. Furthermore, when the nanofluidized formulation was tested, the patient had a lower baseline of CoQ10 but demonstrated significantly better absorption when compared to the leading competitive CoQ10 product. Lastly, the nanofluidized formulation provides significantly better absorption levels thus providing a more efficient product.

Example 2A

[0363] Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble, B-complex vitamin that facilitates DNA and RNA synthesis, amino acid and protein metabolism, nerve cell and red blood cell development and function, (e.g., hemoglobin synthesis and oxygen transport). Vitamin B-12 is composed of a corrin ring structure that surrounds an atom of cobalt; hence, B-12 is also known as cobalamin.

[0364] The richest dietary source of vitamin B-12 is animal liver. Eggs, cheese and some species of fish also supply a small amount; vegetables and fruits are very poor sources of vitamin B-12. Most deficiencies of vitamin B-12 result from an impaired ability of the gastrointestinal tract to produce a transport protein called the intrinsic factor, which is needed to absorb the vitamin from the small intestine. Such inabilities to absorb B-12 frequently occur with the onset of advanced age, pernicious anemia, gastric conditions, or surgery. When therapeutically relevant doses of B-12 are not achieved, supplementation is often required by way of injection or orally. Often, oral supplementation with vitamin B-12 is preferred as it is safe, efficient, inexpensive and less painful than injection.

[0365] Characteristic symptoms of B-12 deficiency cause wide-ranging and serious symptoms that include fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, flatulence, weight loss, insomnia, and loss of appetite. Deficiency can also lead to neurological problems such as numbness, cramping and tingling in the extremities. Additional symptoms of B-12 deficiency include difficulty in maintaining equilibrium, depression, confusion, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.

[0366] A nanofluidizable mixture with vitamin B-12 as the biologically active agent was prepared according to the following procedure:

[0367] An aqueous solution was formed from about 83.0% (wt/wt) of purified water in an appropriately sized mixing vessel. To this mixing vessel approximately 0.13% (wt/wt) vitamin B-12 (pure cyanocobalamin) was added and stirred for about 10 minutes.

[0368] Next, about 10.0% wt/wt vegetable glycerin (acting as a solvent and taste enhancer) was stirred into the aqueous solution. Spearmint flavor (taste enhancer) at about 1.0% wt/wt, citric acid (as an acidulent/buffering agent) at about 1.0% wt./wt., polysorbate-80 (an emulsifier and surface activator) at about 2.0% wt./wt. was added, potassium hydroxide (pH balancer) at about 3.0% wt/wt, and potassium sorbate (a preservative) at about 0.20% wt./wt. were also added to the mixing vessel. Upon reaching complete dissolution, the compound emulsion appeared homogeneous, red-purple, and slightly transparent with a measured pH of about 4.0 to about 5.0 and specific gravity (g/ml) of about 1.08 to about 1.15.

[0369] The crude emulsion was then processed through a model M-110Y MICROFLUIDIZER (Microfluidics Corporation, Newton, Mass.) under 21 kpsi. After a single pass, the mean particle size, according to a Horiba LA-910 particle size analyzer, was 188 nm. The appearance of the solution did not change after processing.

[0370] The resulting stable uniform submicron emulsion was then placed into a spray vial with a fine mist nozzle. This particular nozzle provided thorough coverage of the oral cavity.

Example 2BVitamin B-12

[0371] Study of the effects of a nanofluidized vitamin B-12 in human patients suffering from vitamin B-12 deficiency or pernicious anemia.

Objective

[0372] To establish the effectiveness of the nanofluidized vitamin B-12 delivered via spray in reducing or eliminating erythrocyte i.e., red blood cell, (RBC) abnormalities of size and shape in patients with pernicious anemia induced by vitamin B-12 deficiency. Samples of the nanofluidized vitamin B-12 of the instant invention were produced and administered to the sublingual mucosal membranes of three different human patients by a spray applicator.

Methods

[0373] The three human subjects used in this study were tested twice. The test subjects used had not taken any other supplements containing B-12 for one month prior to initial testing or between the initial and final test visit.

[0374] The initial test was used to establish any blood cell abnormalities in each patient. The second test was conducted after all the patients had used a spray applicator to administer approximately 3 sprays of nanofluidized vitamin B-12 of the present invention by carefully spraying sublingually (under the tongue), two times per day for 30 days, for a total dose of approximately 1200 mcg of vitamin B-12 per day.

[0375] During each test visit, each patient had approximately 5 ml of blood (SST tubes) drawn by routine venipuncture to establish a baseline (pre-dosing and post-dosing).

[0376] Next, the patients' whole blood samples were shipped, on ice, to the same analytical laboratory (LabOne, Inc) for blood cell morphology testing.

[0377] Red blood cell manual morphology technique was used to determine any red blood cell abnormalities that may be present in the patients' blood samples. In this technique the size and shape of the red blood cells are measured by machine and counted manually under a high-powered microscope, such as Leica Microstar IV microscope, by a trained and skilled technician

[0378] The first patient tested in this study (patient ID NO: 10002910), a 65-year-old male, diagnosed with pernicious anemia complained of being tired and depressed. An initial test on the patient's whole blood sample was conducted and analyzed by red blood cell manual morphology technique. The initial results of the red blood cell manual morphology technique revealed two abnormalities, slight anisocytosis (red blood cell size is too small as compared to normal size range) and a few ovalocytes (oval shaped red blood cells rather than round), as illustrated in the summary of the hematology report (FIG. 2) and the photograph of the sample test slide (FIG. 3) using a high-powered microscope.

[0379] The second patient used in this study (patient ID NO: 10002724), a 37-year-old female, is an avid athlete diagnosed with pernicious anemia induced by B-12 deficiency. The second patient suffered with restless leg symptoms, less than optimum recovery time after workouts, and muscle cramps. As with the first patient, the initial test was conducted and analyzed by way of red blood cell manual morphology technique the following day. The test results of the red blood cell manual morphology technique discovered slight macrocytosis, that is, the red blood cells are too fat or large resulting in poor delivery of oxygen to other cells, as illustrated in the summary of the hematology report (FIG. 4) and the photograph of the sample test slide (FIG. 5) using a high powered microscope.

[0380] The third patient used in this study (patient ID NO: 10001401), a 57-year-old male, diagnosed with a Vitamin B-12 deficiency complained of having a lack of energy. An initial test on the patient's whole blood sample demonstrated altered liver functions with an AST (SGOT) value of 63 and an ALT (SGPT) value of 92, both of which are out of normal range and indicate potential liver damage. In addition, the patient's mean cell volume (MCV) was out of range at 104. The patient's hemoglobin at the time was 14.5 and the hematocrit was 45.4.

[0381] The second tests were conducted on the three patients after having sublingually administered the sprays for the 30-day treatment period and substantially the same testing protocol was followed for all the patients as was performed during the first visit. During the aforementioned treatment period, no change was made to either of the patient's eating plan, exercise program, or supplement program except for the introduction of the instant vitamin B-12 spray.

[0382] For the first patient (65-year-old male), the second test results on the whole blood sample revealed that not only had the size of all the tested red blood cells fallen within the normal range and shape, but the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin level had noticeably improved, as illustrated in the summary of the hematology report (FIG. 7) and the photograph of the sample test slide (FIG. 8) taken during the second red blood cell manual morphology procedure using a high-powered microscope. In fact, the patient had commented that he experienced a higher energy level and little or no depression within the first week of treatment.

[0383] The second patient (37-year-old female) maintained her extensive exercise program throughout the 30-day testing period; during which, she noticed marked improvement in her recovery times. Also, she noticed less muscle cramping and irritation. The results from the second patient's hematology report on the whole blood sample (FIG. 9) and the photograph of the sample test slide taken during the second red blood cell manual morphology procedure (FIG. 10) illustrate a return to normal red blood cell size and no macrocytosis was found. Although no improvement in the number of red blood cells were observed in the second patient, there was a marked improvement in hemoglobin levels.

[0384] For the third patient (57-year-old male), another blood sample was taken approximately 6 weeks after the 30-day treatment with vitamin B12 lingual spray was initiated. Testing of this sample showed that the liver functions had returned to normal, with AST level at 41 and the ALT level at 42, both within the normal range of liver functions. In addition, the hemoglobin level had improved from 14.5 to 15.8 and the hematocrit had risen from 45.4 to 47.6, both of which were the highest levels seen in this patient in over two years. The mean cell volume also returned to a normal level.

[0385] These findings indicate that this patient's red blood cell functions and liver functions had been markedly improved by the course of vitamin B12 therapy, both returning to normal levels which had not been seen throughout the course of his disease. In addition, the patient experienced an increase in energy levels, felt better, and had improved overall health.

[0386] Normally, red blood cell morphology responds to sublingual tablet, or injection, of vitamin B-12 supplements in 90 to 120 days, not within the accelerated time frame of about 30days, as evidenced by the instant experiments. While not wishing to be bound to any particular theory, it is reasonable for the skilled artisan to conclude from the results of the three examples set forth above that the nanodispersions of the present invention allow molecules to be delivered across transmucosal tissue (i.e. sublingual) barriers at an increased rate and with reduced degradation than conventional non-processed solutions. This, in turn, preserves the potency and therapeutic effects of B-12 in maintaining proper biological processes, for example, red blood cell maturation, development and normalization of function, (e.g., hemoglobin synthesis and oxygen transport) as seen above.

This small group of participants will provide rapidly, real time case study data. [0392] 6. A simple and confidential patient profile of each participant will be requested prior to the testing. [0393] 7. A private local independent testing lab will complete blood draws pre-and post-supplementation to independently verify the levels of the selected biologically active agents. [0394] 8. Each participant will be screened for non-use of supplements prior to the initial blood test. Preference may be given to a 7-14 day fasting from all outside supplementations. [0395] 9. Initial levels for the biologically active agent (ex. B.sub.12 & D.sub.3) are to be measured from the blood test as a baseline. [0396] 10. Initial levels for the biologically active agent (ex. B.sub.12 & D.sub.3) will also be measured via a Visual enabled web Portal to also serve as a baseline. [0397] 11. Each individual participant will access the Web portal (mywellnessreader.com) with an established independent account for remotely accessible visual photonic virtual testing via computer or smartphone. [0398] 12. Participants will be provided with enriched biologically active agents, prepared using one of the methods described in the present patent application. [0399] 13. Participants will remotely self-test daily by the visual photonic measurement process on their (docsun.health) Web portal accounts established at www.mywellnessreader.com. [0400] 14.
