Description

[0001] HYDROGEN-RICH CORAL CALCIUM, COMPOSITIONS, MANUFACTURE

[0002] AND USE THEREOF

[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates generally to a hydrogen rich composition, and more specifically to a hydrogen rich adjuvant, formulation, manufacture and use thereof.

[0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006] Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals in cultured cells using hydrogen water, and in an acute rat model using inhalation of 2% hydrogen gas (Ohsawa et al. “Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals” 2007, Nat Med 13, 688-694). A large amount of research and data prove hydrogen molecules have unique water and lipid soluble properties. As the smallest molecule, hydrogen can effectively remove cytotoxic oxygen radicals, restore youthful state and delay aging of the body. Hydrogen gas cannot be stored in the body. Whether hydrogen gas is inhaled or introduced through drinking water, almost all of it is excreted from the body after 15 min (Imaoka et al. “A basic study on molecular hydrogen (H2) inhalation in acute cerebral ischemia patients for safety check with physiological parameters and measurement of blood H2 level” Med Gas Res. 2012; 2:21). Moreover, current hydrogen-rich foods are still relatively low in hydrogen content and have high production costs.

[0045] Methods, Materials and Results

[0046] Manufacture:

[0047] Coral materials (supplier Ace Plan Co., Ltd.) were placed in a closed chamber and heated by gradually increasing the temperature under a precise heating condition at a heating rate of 3 degree Celsius per minute (3 °C / min). As the temperature was rising, the chamber was simultaneously vacuumed or maintained a negative pressure. The chamber temperature was kept at between 350 °C and 400 °C for about one hour, then hydrogen gas of more than lpsi was applied into the chamber to obtain the product of hydrogen-rich coral calcium. As the hydrogen gas was pressured into the chamber, precise cooling was started at a cooling rate of 3 °C / min. Once the chamber temperature reached the room temperature, a second cycle started, that is, the steps of precise heating, temperature maintaining, precise cooling, hydrogen pressuring as aforementioned were repeated.

[0048] At least two to three cycles are required for manufacture of a hydrogen-rich coral calcium product or composition of the invention (FIG. 2). The closed chamber is housed in a room with humidity being controlled below 65%~45% throughout the manufacturing process. The closed chamber may be housed in a room with humidity controlled below 65%. Preferably, the closed chamber is housed in a room with humidity below 55%. More preferably, the closed chamber is housed in a room with humidity below 45%.

[0049] The hydrogen-rich coral calcium was then pulverized to obtain hydrogen rich coral calcium in powder form (hydrogen rich coral calcium powder). Hydrogen rich coral powder was placed inside a capsule as a dosage form.

[0050] It was discovered that the heating and the cooling rate both have an impact on the hydrogen contents of the products as the oxidation-reduction potential (mV) versus time (hrs) (as shown in FIG. 1C) values were not the same. In addition, the EM structure also differed dramatically. It is critical that the heating and the cooling rate is kept at no higher than 3 °C / min. When the rate was smaller than or equal to 3 °C / min, the coral structure appeared perfect, its original skeleton structure was not destructed or damaged. On the opposite, when the heating and / or the cooling rate was higher than 3 °C / min, the coral structure became damaged, appeared fragmented like FIG. IB, and the hydrogen content reduced as reflected in the oxidation-reduction potential (mV) versus time study. Furthermore, if a coral calcium material was pulverized into powder first before it was burnt to afford burnt coral calcium, then the resulted hydrogen coral calcium powder appeared fragmented, losing well-defined pore structures. The chamber temperature maintaining at 350 °C ~ 400 °C is also important. It was found that a chamber temperature over 350 °C ~ 400 °C range during burning the coral calcium gave rise to a final hydrogen coral calcium product that has a fragmented, ugly structure. A chamber temperature below 350 °C during burning of the coral calcium gave rise to a hydrogen coral calcium product with low hydrogen contents and its oxidation-reduction potential (mV) versus time curve like FIG. 1C, old prior art product.

[0051] FIG. 1 A is an electron microscopy photograph of a hydrogen-rich coral calcium product in a powder form (the invention), which was manufactured according to one embodiment of the method invention. The hydrogen-rich coral calcium product of the invention displays good porosity (magnification 1809 x) with clear and well-defined pore spaces in the skeleton of the coral calcium.

[0052] FIG. IB shows an electron microscopy photograph of a hydrogen-rich coral calcium product in a powder form that was manufactured according to a method disclosed in patent publication number CN 101971892 A. Briefly, a material of coral calcium was powdered first, then soaked in an alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol: propanol = 1 : 1: 1) for 3.5 hours, followed by heating to 400 °C and maintaining at 400 °C for 5 hours, then cooling down to the room temperature to obtain hydrogenated coral powder. The hydrogen coral calcium powder (i.e., prior art method- made product) displayed poor porosity (magnification 4000 x) that did not have clear and well- defined pore spaces in the skeleton of the coral calcium.

[0053] We investigated the oxidation-reduction potential (mV) of three hydrogen-rich products: (1) hydrogen-rich water (HRW); (2) hydrogen-rich coral calcium product in powder form (HRCC) according to one embodiment of the invention; and (3) hydrogen-rich coral calcium powder product made by an old, known process.

[0054] FIG. 1C shows oxidation-reduction potential (mV) versus time (hrs) relationship. Hydrogenrich water (solid circle), hydrogen-rich coral calcium powder made by a prior art method in the distilled water (solid triangle), and a hydrogen coral calcium product in powder form according to one embodiment of the invention in the distilled water (solid square ). Hydrogen-rich water or hydrogen-containing water (HRW) was obtained as follows: A hydrogen generator was used to electrolyze pure water to generate hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas was then directed to enter water (100 ml) through a tube and mixed thoroughly with the water for 10 minutes to obtain hydrogen-rich water (HRW).

[0055] The hydrogen-rich coral calcium product or composition according to the invention possesses a property of continuous and stable release of hydrogen gas for at least 48 hours when it is in water. For example, a hydrogen-rich coral calcium product or composition in powder form according to the invention possesses a property of continuous and stable release of hydrogen gas for 72 hours or more than 100 hours. In other words, we could still detect hydrogen gas release into water when the hydrogen-rich coral calcium product of the invention is present in water for more than 72 hours or even more than 100 hours.

[0056] FIG. 2 is a scheme that illustrates the manufacture process of a hydrogen-rich coral calcium product according to one embodiment of the invention.

[0057] A hydrogen-rich coral calcium product may be further pulverized to afford a form of powder. A powder form of hydrogen-rich coral calcium may be added into a capsule to afford a hydrogen capsule. Each hydrogen capsule may contain 170 mg Hydrogen-Rich Coral Calcium (HRCC) with 1.7 x 1021molecules of hydrogen (around 24 cups of 1,200 ppb / 0.6 mM, 200 ml of Hydrogen Water).

[0058] Coral calcium can be replaced with oyster calcium or eggshell to manufacture a hydrogenrich oyster calcium or eggshell product or composition using a similar manufacture process as aforementioned. A hydrogen-rich coral calcium, oyster calcium or eggshell product or composition comprises (a) a material of coral calcium, oyster calcium or eggshell, having pores; and (b) hydrogen gas, carried in the coral calcium, oyster calcium or eggshell pores; wherein the hydrogen-rich calcium, oyster calcium or eggshell product or composition is a solid form and possesses a property of continuous and stable release of the hydrogen gas for at least 3 hours when it is in water.
