Biosytes awarded patent for Bio-Solv process for Q-Gel (Coenzyme Q10) Softsules.Biosytes, Inc. was awarded United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. Patent 6,056,971 for the Bio-Solv process used to enhance the bioavailability bioavailability /bio·avail·a·bil·i·ty/ (bi?o-ah-val?ah-bil´i-te) the degree to which a drug or other substance becomes available to the target tissue after administration. bi·o·a·vail·a·bil·i·ty n. and absorption of Coenzyme Q coenzyme Q n. Ubiquinone. 10. Tishcon Corporation (Westbury, NY; 516-333-3050) has the exclusive worldwide rights to the patented process. The Bio-Solv process is used in Tishcon's Q-Gel Coenzyme Q10 formulas. It improves absorption by making CoQ10 virtually water soluble (hydrosoluble) and by reducing its particle size Particle size, also called grain size, refers to the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks. The term may also be applied to other granular materials. . Human clinical studies have shown that the Bio-Solv process used in the Q-Gel formulation makes CoQ10 several times more bioavailable than conventional supplement forms. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant antioxidant, substance that prevents or slows the breakdown of another substance by oxygen. Synthetic and natural antioxidants are used to slow the deterioration of gasoline and rubber, and such antioxidants as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), butylated hydroxytoluene that is essential in the production of cellular energy. High levels of CoQ10 are found in the heart where it is needed to pump blood through the body. CoQ10 has been clinically shown to support healthy heart function, regulate blood pressure, increase energy and vitality, fight off free radicals and enhance the immune system immune system Cells, cell products, organs, and structures of the body involved in the detection and destruction of foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Immunity is based on the system's ability to launch a defense against such invaders. . Levels of CoQ10 decrease with age suggesting a need for supplementation. Patients with heart disease have also been shown to have low levels of CoQ10. "In measuring the effectiveness of any CoQ10 product, the key is not how much CoQ10 you are taking," said Raj Chopra, president of Tishcon. "The key is how much CoQ10 is actually absorbed into the bloodstream. Our Bio-Solv process renders Coenzyme Q10 highly bioavailable in an oral delivery system. Q-Gel has been studied in five separate relative bioavailability trials carried out in human subjects and has consistently provided the highest CoQ10 blood levels." |
