Abstract
The present invention features sulfur-rich compositions and preparations thereof that are safe and effective as hydrogen sulfide prodrugs of high bioavailability. The invention also includes methods of treating pathological conditions associated with oxidative stress using sulfur-rich compositions. The invention further includes sulfur-rich compositions as antidotes and medical food for preserving and promoting general health.
Claims4
A composition produced by:
- a) providing a first inorganic compound comprising sulfur in the −2 oxidation state;
- and
- b) reacting said first inorganic compound with a second inorganic compound comprising sulfur in the +4 oxidation state at an acidic pH, wherein said reacting produces a composition comprising:
- i) 90-99% (w/w) elemental alpha sulfur and 0.01 to 10% (w/w) highly polar components;
- and
- ii) wherein said composition comprises at least 96% bioactive zerovalent sulfur that readily undergoes bioconversion into hydrogen sulfide.
