Patent Application
20230100108
The impact of diet and nutrition on numerous diseases and disorders has been described, e.g., the impact on age-associated cognitive decline, osteoarthritis and cancer (Dominguez et al., Acta Biomed., 89:276 (2018); Perkins et al., J. Evid. Based Comple. Altern. Med., 22:156 (2017)). Various minerals, micronutrients, and vitamins with antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties have been studied. For example, curcuminoids, magnesium, and garlic, among others, may have a beneficial effect on cognition (Dominguez et al., 2018), and curcuma may have therapeutic effects in osteoarthritis patients (Perkins et al., 2017). Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) use is increasing in the general public and in cancer patients (Lopes et al., Biomed. Res. Int., 2017; PMID: 28845434). CAM includes natural products which include dietary supplements (e.g., vitamins, minerals, and probiotics) and phytotherapeutic products. However, Lopes et al. (2017) note that some natural products can interfere with therapy, e.g., in breast cancer patients.
The field of food supplements that include botanicals appears varied and growing. The growth of this sector is encouraged by greater consumer interest in improving physical and mental well-being and health status.
The term botanicals may by synonymous with herbal remedies, herbal drugs, herbal medicinal products, herbal medicines, and botanical drugs. Herbal medicinal products may include to any medicinal product, exclusively containing as active ingredients one or more herbal substances or one or more herbal preparations, or one or more such herbal substances in combination with one or more such herbal preparations (2004 by Directive 2004/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 Mar. 2004). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), herbal medicines include herbs, herbal materials, herbal preparations and finished herbal products, that contain as active ingredients parts of plants, or other plant materials, or combinations. Botanicals are made of single herbs or by mixing different herbs, from raw material of whole plants or parts of them, and include flowering herbs, leaves, leaf exudate, fruits, berries, roots, rhizomes, fungi, microorganisms, and algae.
