Bone density enhancement using specific plant extracts
The granted patent US12042523B2 outlines a method for increasing bone density in mammals through the administration of a specific composition. This composition consists of a blend of extracts from three plant sources: Morus, Scutellaria, and Acacia, combined in a weight ratio of 1.3:1:1. The Morus extract is derived from Morus alba, the Scutellaria extract from Scutellaria baicalensis, and the Acacia extract from Acacia catechu. The extracts are enriched with various bioactive compounds, including prenylated flavonoids from Morus, free-B-ring flavonoids from Scutellaria, and flavans from Acacia, with specified ranges for their concentrations.
Further claims detail the specific types of flavonoids and flavans that may be included in the composition, such as Albanin G, Kuwanon G, and catechin. The method also allows for the inclusion of glucosamine-type compounds, which may enhance the formulation's efficacy. The patent specifies that the composition can be formulated in various forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, or granules, and may contain acceptable carriers or excipients, ensuring a flexible approach to delivery. Overall, the patent presents a novel approach to addressing bone density issues in mammals through a targeted blend of natural extracts.
