Abstract
The present invention provides novel compositions and methods for protecting and promoting cell growth and restoring physiological structure and function to tissue or organ of the body, especially mucosa in the gastrointestinal tract. The composition can be used as a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical to treat a gastrointestinal disorder or to promote general health of an animal, preferably a human. The composition is in an oral dosage form and comprises edible oil homogenized with a sterol compound at a concentration of at least 0.5% by weight and edible wax at a concentration ranging from 3% to 30% by weight.
Claims33
A method for promoting health of a host, comprising:
- orally administering to the host a composition comprising an edible oil that is homogenized with an edible wax at a concentration ranging from about 0.5% to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, and a sterol compound selected from the group consisting of stigmasterol, campesterol, beta-sterol, chalinosterol, clinosterol, brassicasteriol, alpha-spinasterol, daucosterol, desmosterol and poriferasterol at a concentration of at least 0.1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the edible oil, edible wax and sterol compound are homogenized to form colloid with the edible was adopting a microcrystal form at ambient temperature.
The method of claim 25, wherein the edible oil is sesame oil and the extract of huangqin is an extract of huangqin in an amount of 1-50% by weight of huangqin in sesame oil.
The method of claim 30, wherein the microcrystal form of beeswax is 0.1-100 μm in length.
The method of claim 30, wherein at least two of the microcrystals of beeswax aggregate to form a microcrystal complex.
