The spray bottle comprises a spraying arrangement 20 protruding from the dosing arrangement 30 in a direction parallel to a direction between a bottom of the bottle and the dosing arrangement 30. The spraying arrangement 20 protrudes 7 mm from the dosing arrangement 30.

[0243] According to the test, the tested composition and the spray provided sometimes a relieving effect but the relieving effect varied. In other words, sometimes there was some relieving effect and sometimes not.

[0244] Example 3 (according to the invention)

[0245] First, the following liquid composition was produced: water, 12,50 wt. % of glycerol, 0,13 % wt. % of chromium(III) chloride, 0,31 wt. % of a flavour component, 0,22 wt. % of citric acid, 0,1 wt. % of sodium benzoate, and 0,1 wt. %of potassium sorbate, with the proviso that the components taken together adds up to 100 wt.%.

[0246] Then, a spray bottle was filled with the composition, the spray bottle comprises a dosing arrangement 30 arranged to spray a dose comprising 40 pg of chromium(III) chloride. The spray bottle comprises a spraying arrangement 20 protruding from the dosing arrangement 30 in a direction parallel to a direction between a bottom of the bottle and the dosing arrangement 30. The spraying arrangement 20 protrudes 7 mm from the dosing arrangement 30.

[0247] According to the test, the tested composition and the spray provided a relieving effect but there was some variation in the relieving effect, but the variation of the relieving effect was less than in example 2.

[0248] Example 4 (according to the invention)

[0249] First, the following liquid composition was produced: First, the following composition was produced: 77,26 wt. % of water, 12,50 wt. % of xylitol, 9,38 wt. % of glycerol, 0,13 % wt. % of chromium(III) chloride, 0,31 wt. % of a flavour component, 0,22 wt. % of citric acid, and 0,1 wt. % of sodium benzoate.

[0252] In the tests in examples 2, 3 and 4 the test persons reported that the dose was sometimes sprayed under a tongue which increased salivation. The test persons also reported that doses which entered on a tongue or into throat were typically swallowed. That decreased reliability of the relieving effect.

[0253] Example 5 (according to the invention)

[0254] First, the following composition was produced: water, 12,50 wt. % of xylitol, 9,38 wt. % of glycerol, 0,13 % wt. % of chromium(III) chloride, 0,31 wt. % of a flavour component, 0,22 wt. % of citric acid, 0,1 wt. % of sodium benzoate, and 0,1 wt. % of potassium sorbate, with the proviso that the components taken together adds up to 100 wt.%.

The spray bottle comprises a spraying arrangement 20 protruding from the dosing arrangement 30 in a direction transverse to a direction between a bottom of the bottle and the dosing arrangement 30. The spraying arrangement 20 protrudes 18,5 mm from the dosing arrangement 30. The spraying arrangement 20 comprises also a nozzle part arranged to spread the spray.The effectiveness of tested chromium spray was tested using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on five people. The test group underwent 14-day continuous glucose monitoring. In practice, this means that the tester's glucose fluctuations were monitored for 14 days, i.e. for two weeks, via a sensor installed under the skin.

[0255] The first week was a comparison week in the monitoring, when the user did not use the chromium spray, and acted as they normally do in their daily lives. In the second week, the user began using tested chromium spray according to the instructions.

[0256] One dose of the tested chromium spray contains 40 pg of chromium. The maximum daily dose is 5 sprays, i.e. a total of 200 pg of chromium.

[0257] Testers were instructed to take one dose of tested chromium spray every morning during the second monitoring week, and the remaining 4 doses as needed throughout the day when a sweet craving arises. The glucose monitoring of all customers participating in the test group shows a levelling off in blood sugar levels after starting to use the studied product.

[0258] The test persons made the following observations.

[0259] Tester 1 "Amy".

[0260] My first impression of the spray's flavour was a positive surprise. The taste was authentic and light! The taste of the spray leaves your mouth quite quickly, but the effect on removing sugar cravings remains! The product's rapid absorption is a plus, meaning the taste doesn't interfere with drinking coffee, for example! It's unbelievable that the product's effect started right away! It has a big meaning and helped encourage me to make a permanent lifestyle change. I stopped eating candy on the first day of using the product, I wouldn't have believed how great an effect tested Chromium Spray had if I hadn't tried it myself!

[0261] Weight loss -1.1kg.

[0262] Tester 2 "Katie".

[0263] The first test week included anything, chocolate, buns, pizza and gingerbread, not to mention loose candies. I was on a work gig, so I compensated for my endurance with chocolate. During the first week, my blood sugar level was dropping. There were a lot of blood sugars that were too low and after eating they would dip to a new low again. I was really tired. The values were also really low at night. I have had a couple of sugar drops when my blood sugar has been so low that I no longer really understood anything, and my muscles don't work. During the sugar drops, my limbs feel strange, my muscles twitch and I feel restless. However, despite several tests, I have not been diagnosed with diabetes.

[0264] My life has been a roller coaster with sweet cravings and treats. There have been successes and failures, and treats have always been the culprit. During the test week, I felt heavy and tired. I'm really active and I do a lot of sports. Sometimes I have to exercise compulsively, to make up for the amount of sugar I've eaten. So, the expectations for the spray after the first week were high!The spray testing started on January 7, 2025. The first day was difficult. When the energy from the treats was gone, I had to find the right amount of energy for regular eating, I was hungry all the time. However, after the start, the spray started to work, and I found the right meal rhythm. One day, when I had a lingering sweet craving after eating, I took a spray and really wondered what would happen. About 5 minutes after taking the spray, the craving disappeared! I tried really hard to think about candy, but the craving didn't come. In the evening, I had training and then dinner, then the craving for sweets hit again. I took a spray, and again the craving was gone in minutes - no feelings to eat treats!

[0265] Now I'm on a schedule where I spray in the morning and after my larger meals (lunch and dinner), because those are my Achilles' heel. I also take another spray, if necessary, usually in the evening.

[0266] It was interesting to monitor my blood sugar levels with the measure. What surprised me the most was how low blood sugars decreased after I started using the spray, and my blood sugar levels stabilized. I've been feeling much better now! I've also been able to walk past the candy aisle in the store without even taking a small bite. This hasn't happened in a long time!

[0267] Tester 3 "Fanny".

[0268] Tester 3 did not provide an opinion, but the blood sugar levels were measured. The first week was a control week. The blood sugar levels were more stable on the next week when the test person used the tested chromium spray.

[0269] Tester 4 "Tina".

[0270] I am Tina, a 41-year-old woman. I am a nurse by training. I do not have type 2 or type 1 diabetes, nor any other diseases. I am physically active, but I am somewhat overweight. I have a sedentary job, so I do not take many steps during the workday.

[0271] I have measured myself before for my work. Based on my previous measuring, I knew that I have a tendency to reactive hypoglycemia, so it did not come as a surprise to me. Instead, what surprised me was how much the tested chromium spray evened out the fluctuations in my blood sugar levels and eliminated hypoglycemia!

[0272] Reactive hypoglycemia means that my blood sugar drops too low for no clear reason. This condition makes me feel bad and has a strong craving for sweets. Weight control has also always been very challenging for me.

[0273] My blood sugar levels were measuring, it was carried out from 10. to 23.12.2024. The normal range of blood sugar is 4-10 i. The first week was a control week.

[0274] During the first week I had a lot of hypoglycemia. My blood sugar also fluctuated a lot in the first week. In the second week, on Monday the 16th, I started using the tested chromium spray according to the instructions. The hypoglycemias stopped and my blood sugar levels stabilized significantly!

[0275] I am currently using the tested chromium spray continuously. It keeps my sweet tooth under control, and as I write this text, my weight has already dropped over three kilograms in l1 / 2 months. I feel much better now that the hypoglycemias havestopped. I also think I can concentrate better now that my blood sugar levels don't fluctuate as much as before. I am really happy with the product! At this testing stage, the app was not yet ready to use, but I feel that in addition to the spray, it would have certainly made it even easier to get rid of sweet cravings.

[0276] Weight loss: -1.2kg.

[0277] Tester 5 "Art".

[0278] I have type 2 diabetes. I have had sensoring before, and the difference between the sensoring during the spray and the blood sugar levels is significant.

[0279] In the previous sensoring, the average glucose for 14 days was 9.5mmol / l and while using the tested Chromium Spray, the average glucose was 6.9mmol / l. While using the spray, my blood sugar levels were significantly better and more stable.

[0280] According to the example 5, a surprising synergist effect is achieved when the composition comprising liquid chromium, xylitol and glycerol is sprayed with a spraying arrangement 20 protruding from the dosing arrangement 30 in a direction transverse to a direction between a bottom of the bottle and the dosing arrangement 30. The relieving effect is improved when the spraying arrangement 20 protruding in transverse direction to a direction between a bottom of the bottle and the dosing arrangement 30 providing the composition on a cheek mucosa. This means that the composition starts to provide a relieving effect very fast, and the relieving effect is long and reliable.

[0281] It should be noted that a human being may take only five 40 pg doses in one day. Therefore, it is important that each dose is provided such that it really works instead of that the dose swallowed and thus, there is not a sufficient relieving effect. Human begin cannot take many further doses if some of the doses does not act properly.

[0282] Example 6 (according to the invention)

[0283] A device according to the example 5 and the following compositions were provided: a first composition comprising the following components: water, 8 wt. % of a xylitol , 5 wt. % of glycerol, and 0,08 wt. % of chromium(III) chloride, with the proviso that the components taken together adds up to 100 wt.%, and a second composition comprising of water, 17 wt. % of xylitol, 15 wt. % of glycerol, and 0,18 wt. % of liquid chromium(III) chloride, with the proviso that the components taken together adds up to 100 wt.%.

The tested flavour components were spearmint and citron.

[0288] Duration of action of the relieving composition on the mucosa was more than 30 sec.

[0289] The compositions according to the example 8 provided more reliably a relieving effect compared to the compositions of the example 7.

[0290] Example 9 (according to the invention)

[0291] First, the following liquid composition was produced: water and 0,13 % wt. % of chromium(III) chloride, with the proviso that the components taken together adds up to 100 wt.%,

[0292] Then, a spray bottle was filled with the composition, the spray bottle comprises a dosing arrangement 30 arranged to spray a dose comprising 40 pg of chromium(III) chloride. The spray bottle comprises a spraying arrangement 20 protruding from the dosing arrangement 30 in a direction transverse to a direction between a bottom of the bottle and the dosing arrangement 30. The spraying arrangement 20 protrudes 18,5 mm from the dosing arrangement 30. The spraying arrangement 20 comprises also a nozzle part arranged to spread the spray.

[0293] According to the test, the tested composition and the transversal spray to the bottle provided more reliably a relieving effect compared to the example 2.

[0294] Example 10 (according to the invention)

[0295] Chromium(III) picolinate was tested. The Chromium(III) picolinate is one option for the liquid chromium component but based on the test it provided an undesired colour for persons. The Chromium(III) picolinate is a chemical compound with the formula Cr(C5H4N(CO2))3, commonly abbreviated as CrPic3. It is a bright-red coordination compound derived from chromium(III) and picolinic acid.

[0296] Example 11 (according to the invention)The relieving composition was provided to the mucosa separately with chewing gum, with a pouch, and with a lozenge. In other words, the chewing gum, the pouch, and the lozenge comprised the chromium component. All of those comprised 40 pg of Chromium(III) picolinate. The chewing gum comprising Chromium, the pouch comprising Chromium, and the lozenge comprising Chromium provided the relieving effect but producing the chewing gum comprising Chromium, the pouch comprising Chromium, and the lozenge comprising Chromium was more complicate than producing a liquid composition comprising chromium.

[0297] Duration of action of the relieving composition on the mucosa was more than 60 sec..
