Abstract
Compositions of reducing agents and carriers for producing a stable negative oxidation reduction potential in consumable materials are disclosed and claimed. Compositions of the invention find use in enhancing the hydration and anti-oxidant value of consumable materials such as foods, beverages and cosmetics, for example. Compositions of the invention also find use in water treatment, agricultural and scientific research applications. Methods for using and making the compositions are also within the scope of the invention.
Claims4
An edible powder for producing negative oxidation reduction potential (NORP) in foods and other consumable materials, said powder comprising a mixture of
- a) reducing, zero-valent, non-ionic and non-oxidized elemental magnesium metal powder;
- and
- b) a base selected from magnesium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, or a combination thereof;
- c) wherein said elemental magnesium metal and said base are in a ratio of between about 1:4 and 1:50 respectively, and
- d) wherein said reducing, zero-valent, non-ionic and non-oxidized elemental magnesium metal powder comprises particles that are between about 37 to 500 microns in size.
