Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and composition for achieving a multi-phasic dissolution prolife through the process of fine-milling to increase the rate of dissolution of ingredients. The ingredients to be fine-milled are ingredients suitable for use in supplemental dietary compositions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for achieving a multi-phasic rate of dissolution of a supplemental dietary composition in a mammal comprising: administering to said mammal said composition comprising a series of one or more fine-milled and unprocessed supplemental dietary ingredients, wherein the fine-milled and unprocessed supplemental dietary ingredients are identical in composition and said one or more fine-milled ingredients vary from each other in the degree of milling.  
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said multi-phasic rate of dissolution comprises a first-phase and a second-phase; whereby said first-phase has a first rate of dissolution and said second-phase has a second rate of dissolution.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising a third-phase, whereby said third-phase has a third rate of dissolution.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising a fourth-phase, whereby said fourth-phase has a fourth rate of dissolution.  
   
   
       5 . A multi-phase dissolution composition comprising a first ingredient and a second ingredient, wherein said composition is characterized by a first-phase corresponding to said first ingredient and a second-phase corresponding to said second ingredient such that said first-phase has a first rate of dissolution and said second-phase has a second rate of dissolution.  
   
   
       6 . The composition of  claim 5 , wherein said composition further comprises a third ingredient corresponding to a third-phase, wherein said third-phase has a third rate of dissolution.  
   
   
       7 . The composition of  claim 6 , wherein said composition further comprises a fourth ingredient corresponding to a fourth-phase, wherein said fourth-phase has a fourth rate of dissolution.  
   
   
       8 . A method for manufacturing a supplemental dietary composition suitable for ingestion by a mammal, the method comprising the step of: 
 providing in the supplemental dietary composition a series of one or more fine-milled and unprocessed supplemental dietary ingredients, wherein each of the one or more fine-milled ingredients comprises a segment of said supplemental dietary composition, such that each segment has a different degree of milling.    
   
   
       9  The method of  claim 8 , wherein a first segment has a rate of dissolution that is different from a rate of dissolution of a second segment.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising the step of fine-milling the ingredient so as to obtain the first segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the second segment of the ingredient is provided in a regular form.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising the steps of: 
 fine-milling the ingredient so as to obtain a second segment of the ingredient.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising the step of providing in the supplemental dietary composition the ingredient in a third segment, the third segment having a range of particle sizes that is different from the ranges of particle sizes of the first and second segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the third segment of the ingredient has a rate of dissolution that is different from the rates of dissolution of the first and second segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the steps of: 
 fine-milling the ingredient so as to obtain the third segment of the ingredient.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the step of providing in the supplemental dietary composition the ingredient in a fourth segment, the fourth segment having a range of particle sizes that is different from the ranges of particle sizes of the first, second and third segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the fourth segment of the ingredient has a rate of dissolution that is different from the rates of dissolution of the first, second and third segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the steps of: 
 fine-milling the ingredient so as to obtain the fourth form of the ingredient.    
   
   
       19 . A supplemental dietary composition suitable for ingestion by a mammal, comprising: 
 a first form of an ingredient; and    a second segment of the ingredient, wherein the first segment of the ingredient has a range of particle sizes that is smaller than a range of particle sizes of the second segment of the ingredient.    
   
   
       20 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 19 , wherein the first segment of the ingredient has a rate of dissolution that is different from a rate of dissolution of the second segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       21 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 19 , wherein the first segment of the ingredient is fine-milled.  
   
   
       22 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 21 , wherein the second segment of the ingredient is in a regular segment.  
   
   
       23 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 21 , wherein the second segment of the ingredient is fine-milled.  
   
   
       24 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 19 , further comprising the ingredient in a third segment, the third segment having a range of particle sizes that is different segment the ranges of particle sizes of the first and second segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       25 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 24 , wherein the third segment of the ingredient has a rate of dissolution that is different from the rates of dissolution of the first and second segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       26 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 24 , wherein the third segment of the ingredient is fine-milled.  
   
   
       27 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 24 , further comprising the ingredient in a fourth segment, the fourth segment having a range of particle sizes that is different segment the ranges of particle sizes of the first, second and third forms of the ingredient.  
   
   
       28 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 27 , wherein the fourth segment of the ingredient has a rate of dissolution that is different segment the rates of dissolution of the first, second and third segment of the ingredient.  
   
   
       29 . The supplemental dietary composition of  claim 16 , wherein the fourth segment of the ingredient is fine-milled.
