Abstract
The method of using nutritional compounds including Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin). Arabinogalactan and Arabinogalactan combined with Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) to reduce and control cardiometabolic risk factors, associated with metabolic syndrome and hypercholesterolemia in a mammal, specifically a human, resulting in the enhancement of metabolism, reduced control levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduced oxidative damage in humans and other health benefits.
Claims10
A method of using nutritional compounds for lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL-cholesterol in humans, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a particular human who has high triglycerides and low HDL-cholesterol by determining whether said particular human has a triglyceride level greater than 150 mg/dl, whether said particular human has an HDL-cholesterol level less than 40 mg/dl for men and less than 50 mg/dl for women, and whether said particular human has at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a waist circumference greater than 102 cm for men and greater than 88 cm for women,
- (b) a blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/85 mmHG, and
- (c) a fasting glucose level greater than 110 mg/dl;
- and
- administering internally a nutritional compound comprising a combination of an Arabinogalactan and a Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), said Arabinogalactan being present in said combination as a fiber matrix in an amount higher than 70% as determined by weight on a dry matter basis, and said Dihydroquercetin being present in said fiber matrix, such that, after said internal administration of said nutritional compound, said particular human has a triglyceride level of less than 150 mg/dl, has an HDL-cholesterol level greater than 40 mg/dl for men and greater than 50 mg/dl for women, and no longer has the at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of (a), (b), and (c).
A method of using a nutritional compound comprising the steps of:
- manufacturing said nutritional compound to include a combination of an Arabinogalactan and a Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) said Arabinogalactan being present in said combination as a fiber matrix in an amount higher than 70% as determined by weight on a dry matter basis, and said Dihydroquercetin being present in said fiber matrix;
- administering internally said nutritional compound to a human so as to enhance metabolism in said human, said enhanced metabolism resulting at least in part from peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation, suppress in said human affects of free radicals on living cells and to protect said living cells from oxidative damage, assist in inhibiting lipid peroxidation, protects inner walls of said human's blood vessels and capillaries against destructive enzymes, decay and free radical damage, or modulate in said human production of main pro-inflammatory cytokines as anti-inflammatory agents targeting COX-2 and related pro-inflammatory mediators implicated in uncontrolled destructive inflammatory reactions.
