Combination of sugars with animo acids and other drugs

Sweetener having an improved sucrose-like taste and process for the preparation thereof and use thereof. A sweetener having improved sucrose-like taste which contains at least one synthetic sweetener or a mixture of different artificial sweeteners and at least one deoxysugar, in particular rhamnose or fucose. A process for the preparation of this sweetener and use thereof for the production of artificial sweeteners for table use, for sweetening foods and for improving flavor development in foods

Sweetener having an improved sucrose-like taste and process for the preparation thereof and use thereof

The present invention discloses an isotonic beverage product for direct increase of the muscular ATP level consisting essentially of a solution of D-ribose and blood glucose increasing monosaccharides and oligosaccharides and/or hydrogenated glucose syrups. These drinks serve to increase the overall performance during physical exercise and at the same time diminish fatigue.

Beverages for enhanced physical performance

An agent for improving depression-like symptoms comprising D-ribose, which may improve and alleviate various symptoms such as hypobulia, general fatigue, sluggishness, enervation, deterioration in concentration, memory impairment, abnormal sensation/obtundation such as impaired sight, decline in thinking power, indefinite complaint, drop in operation efficiency, or feeling of malaise, etc.

D-ribose for improving depression-like symptoms

The present invention relates to a novel composition for recovering from a hangover due to alcohol and for preventing brain cell damage, and the preparation method therein. The present composition comprises Ginkgo biloba extract and taurine, wherein the amounts of said Ginkgo biloba extract and taurine are preferably in the range of 0.01-10.0 % by weight and 0.01-10.0 % by weight per 1 ml of composition, respectively. Further, the present composition can optionally contain at least one or more of the matters selected from sugar, Ostrea gigas extract and/or Amomum villosum extract. The composition can be beverage, in tablet form or in granular form by conventional pharmaceutical preparation methods.

Composition for recovering from a hangover and for preventing brain cell damage

A food additive which has the effect of ameliorating the effects of the ingestion of alcoholic beverages includes the combination of any one or more sugars from the group consisting of zylitol, D(+) galactose, D(+) lactose, D(+) xylose, dulcitol, wyo-insoitol, L(-) fructose, D(-) mannitol, sorbitol, D(+) glucose, D(+) arabinose, D(-) arabinose, celloboise, D(+) maltose, D(+) raffinose, L(+) rhamnose, D(+) melibiose, D(-) ribose, adonitol, D(+) arabitol, L(-) arabitol, D(+) fucose, L(-) fucose, D(-) lyxose, L(+) lyxose, and L(-) lyxose, and any one or more amino acids from the group consisting of arginine, glutamine, lysine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, leucine, methionine, phenylalamine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine, and taurine in a quantity such that for each measure of the sugar between 2.5 and 6 grams there is a cumulative amount of amino acid which falls within the effective range of at least one of the amino acids in the combination where the effective range in the case of arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, serine, glycine, histidine, leucine, methionine, phelnylalanine, proline, valine, glutamine, lysine, and taurine is from 25 to 50 milligrams; and, in the case of threonine, tryptophan, and tyrosine, is from 25 to 1500 milligrams. To accelerate the volatilization process, acetic acid or acetylsalicylic acid, or both, is added.
