AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new composition for vitamin B12 supplements that is more convenient and easy to absorb than current options. The composition contains a combination of cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and methylcobalamin, along with a carrier that helps to form a solid or semi-solid matrix. The composition can be flavored with a variety of options, such as cherry or vanilla. The patent also provides a method for treating vitamin B12 deficiency in humans by administering the composition. The technical effects of this invention include improved absorption, convenience, and improved treatment options for vitamin B12 deficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Because of the large size of vitamin B12, the body neither efficiently metabolizes nor absorbs the vitamin.
Existing vitamin B12 compositions fail to provide convenient self-administration for patients in a readily absorbable form.
These patients often rely on professionally administered vitamin B12 injections, which are invasive, painful, expensive, and inconvenient.

Manufacture of Vitamin B12 Composition

[0100]About 5 grams of cyanocobalamin, about 5 grams of hydroxycobalamin acetate and about 5 grams of methylcobalamin are passed through a #20 mesh stainless steel screen.

[0101]About 15 grams of isomalt is passed through a #20 mesh screen and combined with the methyl-, cyano- and hydroxy-cobalamin mixture. Pre-blend 1 is mixed until a substantially homogenous mixture is observed.

[0102]About 90 grams of isomalt is passed through a #20 mesh screen and combined with pre-blend 1. Pre-blend 2 is mixed until a substantially homogenous mixture is observed.

[0103]About 360 grams of isomalt is passed through a #20 mesh screen and combined with pre-blend 2. Pre-blend 3 is mixed until a substantially homogenous mixture is observed. Pre-blend 3 is transferred into a blender.

[0104]About 448.75 grams of isomalt, about 312.5 grams of PEG-8000 and about 2.5 grams of cherry flavoring are passed through a #20 mesh screen and transferred into the blender with pre-b...

Treating Vitamin B12 Deficiency with Vitamin B12 Described Herein

[0107]A human presents with vitamin B12 deficiency associated with pernicious anemia, including impaired perception of deep touch and deep muscle-tendon reflexes. The patient self-administers a vitamin B12 lozenge according to Example 1. The human's symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are decreased.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of copending U.S. application Ser. No. 11 / 219,794 filed on Sep. 7, 2005, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention provides improved vitamin B12 compositions containing a mixture of vitamin B12 analogues in effective amounts for enhanced delivery via the mucosal membranes, such as the mouth, nose, etc., to ameliorate any condition associated with vitamin B12 deficiency in a human.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Vitamin B12, otherwise known as cobalamin, is the largest and most structurally complex of the eight water-soluble B vitamins. Vitamin B12 is a class of cobalt and corrin ring molecules that possess vitamin activity. The sixth coordination site of the corrin ring is either a cyano group (—CN), a hydroxyl group (—OH), a methyl group (—CH3) or a 5′-deoxyadenosyl group, creating four forms of vitamin B12, including, cyanocobalamin, hydroxoc...
