Embodiment 1

[0043] Prepared with the above and figure 1 The relevant multi-carotenoid microcapsules having a multilayer structure and structures shown in Table 1 or other structures described below were then tested for dissolution rate. figure 2 A typical chromatogram of this continuous, time-release microcapsule is illustrated. The protocol for obtaining this data is described in Table 3 and further described below.

[0044] Table 3: Dissolution parameters and procedures

[0045]

[0046]The above aliquots of the microcapsule samples in Table 3 were subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Standard for HPLC analysis was ?-Carotene, Type II Synthetic, Sigma Aldrich, Cat # C4582-25MG, Lot # 120M5165V, Purity: 99.840%, supplied by Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri . All values ​​reported are relative to ?-carotene standards, but a different method was used for astaxanthin analysis.

[0047] To prepare the samples, aliquots were taken from each 20 mL dis...

Embodiment 2

[0053] In this example, the carotenoid component of an immediate release (IR) multicarotenoid formulation (i.e., in which the carotenoids are not layered and not released continuously, but all released simultaneously) was combined with continuous, Two embodiments of multicarotenoid microcapsules for timed release (also known as controlled release (CR)) were compared. In Table 5 below, the exact amounts of the respective carotenoids in each formulation are expressed in milligrams per gram (mg / g). Figure 3-5 Graphical immediate-release (IR) microcapsules ( image 3 ) and two embodiments of controlled release (CR) microcapsules (referred to as Prototype I ( Figure 4 ) and Prototype II ( Figure 5 )) Dissolution profile. As shown, there is a difference in the release of ?-carotene and ?-carotene between prototypes I and II.

Embodiment 3

[0058] A clinical study comparing immediate-release multi-carotenoid formulations and controlled-release carotenoid formulations was performed. The clinical study was designed based on the following. In the gut, carotenoids form multilamellar lipid vesicles, those mixed lipid micelles composed of bile salts, free fatty acids, monoglycerides, and phospholipids. Once micellized, carotenoids are generally thought to be absorbed into the duodenal mucosa by passive diffusion. Diffusion rates are determined by the concentration gradient between micelles and enterocytes. Carotenoids are transported exclusively from the intestinal mucosa into the bloodstream by chylomicrons. This provides a convenient compartmentalized type model with which to assess the absorption of carotenoids following ingestion.

[0059] Therefore, in the study, the chylomicron fraction of postprandial plasma will be assessed to determine absorption after release from two different mixed carotenoid capsule for...

Abstract

The invention discloses a controlled release beadlet that sequentially releases carotenoids over time within the gastrointestinal tract of a subject, as well as a method of administering the carotenoids. The beadlet provides a specific ratio of carotenoids which release from the beadlet at preselected times during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The method includes releasing the carotenoids in preselected ratios at specific time intervals in the gastrointestinal tract to mitigate competition between the carotenoids for their uptake, and / or to potentially maximize the uptake of individual carotenoids within a mixed carotenoid formulation.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present disclosure relates to dietary supplements and a method of administration, and more particularly to microcapsules with specific ratios of carotenoids for continuous, time-release release in the gastrointestinal tract. [0002] Carotenoids are tetraterpenoid organic pigments that occur naturally in the chloroplasts and chromatocytes of plants. Different types of carotenoids are each known to promote skin health, eye health and prostate health, protect against free radical damage, and more. For example, epidemiological studies over the past 30 years have consistently shown an inverse association between the intake of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables and the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. Mayne ST. Beta-Carotene, carotenoids and disease prevention in humans. FASEB J. 10:690-701 (1996). [0003] However, it has been repeatedly found that the body's dietary intake of fruits an...
