Abstract
A liquid pharmaceutical composition having buffering properties comprises as its primary ingredients calcium carbonate (CaCO.sub.3) and magnesium oxide (MgO; magnesia) or magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH).sub.2) that form the base for the compound. The base is carried in a suspension of oil and water. Lecithin (CH.sub.2 (R)CH(R')CH.sub.2 OPO(OH))(CH.sub.2).sub.2 N(OH)(CH.sub.2).sub.3 is provided as an emulsifier and potassium sorbate (CH.sub.3 CH: CHCH:CHCOOK) is provided as a preservative. Other ingredients include vitamin complexes, selected metal chelates as antipathogens, and flavorings.
Claims22
An orally administrable buffering composition in a liquid suspension form for use in a living system comprising:
- between 3 and 10 percent by weight of a base, said base comprising a buffering ingredient that is substantially insoluble in a neutral medium;
- a liquid suspension, said suspension comprising an oil, said oil being provided in the amount of between 10 and 40 percent by weight, said oil being slightly soluble in water;
- and
- between 1 and 5 percent by weight of a vitamin supplement,
- whereby the buffering composition raises the pH of the living system to which it is administered.
An orally administrable buffering composition in liquid form for use in a living system comprising:
- a base, said base including a buffering ingredient that is substantially insoluble in a neutral medium;
- an emulsifier;
- a preservative;
- a liquid, whereby said base, emulsifier and said preservative are suspended in said liquid;
- and
- a metal chelate, whereby the buffering composition raises the pH of the living system to which it is administered.
An orally administrable buffering composition for use in a living system comprising:
- a base, said base including a buffering ingredient that is substantially insoluble in a neutral medium;
- an emulsifier;
- a preservative;
- and
- a metal chelate, whereby the buffering composition raises the pH of the living system to which it is administered.
