Claims19
A method for suspending microparticulated quercetin particles in a beverage comprising the steps of a) introducing at least one suspension agent into a beverage;
- and b) introducing microparticulated quercetin into the beverage, wherein the suspension agent is present in an amount sufficient to suspend the microparticulated quercetin in the beverage.
A method for suspending quercetin particles in a beverage comprising combining at least one suspension agent and microparticulated quercetin, wherein the suspension agent is present in an amount sufficient to suspend the microparticulated quercetin in the beverage, and wherein the microparticulated quercetin is present in the form of a quercetin slurry comprising quercetin, water, at least one food grade acid and at least one food grade preservative.
A composition for a comestible comprising quercetin and at least one suspension agent, wherein about 95% of the quercetin has a particle size below about 10 microns and the at least one suspension agent is present in an amount sufficient to suspend the quercetin in a liquid medium.
A composition for a comestible comprising microparticulated quercetin and at least one suspension agent, wherein the at least one suspension agent is present in an amount sufficient to suspend the microparticulated quercetin in a liquid medium, and wherein the microparticulated quercetin is present in the form of a quercetin slurry comprising quercetin, water, at least one food grade acid and at least one food grade preservative.
A method for enhancing endurance during a physical activity comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising quercetin, a stabilizing agent, at least one salt and at least one carbohydrate.
