Abstract
The invention relates to a beverage composition comprising: water; oxygen bubbles; a surfactant in an amount of between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v); one or more viscosity modifying agent(s) in an amount of between about 0.5% (v/v) and about 2.5% (v/v); and optionally citric acid in an amount of between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v). The invention further relates to compositions, methods of treatment for cancer, the composition for use in treatment of cancer, and the manufacture of the composition.
Claims18
A beverage composition comprising:
- water;
- oxygen bubbles, wherein the oxygen bubbles comprise at least 80% oxygen;
- a surfactant in an amount of between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v);
- one or more viscosity modifying agent(s) in an amount of between about 0.5% (v/v) and about 2.5% (v/v);
- and
- citric acid in an amount of between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v).
A composition for mixing with water and forming a nanoencapsulated oxygen beverage, wherein the composition comprises
- surfactant in an amount to provide between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v) in the nanoencapsulated oxygen beverage;
- viscosity modifying agent in an amount to provide between about 0.5% (v/v) and about 2.5% (v/v) in the nanoencapsulated oxygen beverage, the viscosity modifying agent being selected from the list comprising glycerol, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycyrrhizic acid, or combinations thereof;
- and
- citric acid in an amount to provide between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v) in the nanoencapsulated oxygen beverage;
- wherein the oxygen is encapsulated in bubbles which comprise at least 80% oxygen.
A method of treating cancer in a subject comprising orally administering to the subject a composition comprising:
- water;
- oxygen bubbles, wherein the oxygen bubbles comprise at least 80% oxygen;
- surfactant in an amount of between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v);
- viscosity modifying agent in an amount of between about 0.5% (v/v) and about 2.5% (v/v);
- and
- citric acid in an amount of between about 0.1% (v/v) and about 0.5% (v/v).
