Method and apparatus for packaging and delivering nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and polyceutical compositions

Abstract

This invention relates to methods and apparatus for bottling/packaging orally ingested compositions, said method comprising compounds of nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or polyceutical components, collectively unique combinations of liquid and solid elements such as pills and capsules. These can be nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, or polyceuticals for improving cardiovascular health. Said apparatus comprises a container having a conventional closure with an additional detachable base member. This packaging configuration divides the container into two chambers; the superior or upper chamber and the inferior or lower chamber. In one embodiment the upper chamber is designed to contain liquid compounds, whereas the lower detachable chamber is designed to contain solid matters such as pills and capsules. In one form of this invention the upper and lower chambers are attached to each other by a latching mechanism. Also, in one form of this invention, the interior portion of the lower chamber is partitioned into several smaller units.

 a) an upper chamber and a detachable base comprising a lower chamber; and   b) the upper chamber having an openable closure.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  where the lower chamber has compartmentalized sections. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2  where the lower chamber has a rotatable hole moving around the circumference of the base accessing the compartmentalized sections. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1  further comprising the upper and lower chambers detachably attached to each other by latchs, plastic snap components, or threaded components,. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1  where said container is used to house liquid in the upper chamber and solids such as at least one capsule in the lower chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1  where said container is used to house liquid in the upper chamber and powders in the lower chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 1  where said container is used to house liquid in both upper and lower chambers. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 5  where said container is used to deliver nutraceutical compositions. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 6  where said container is used to deliver nutraceutical compositions. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 7  where said container is used to deliver nutraceutical compositions. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 1  where said container is used to deliver pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 5  where said container is used to deliver pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 6  where said container is used to deliver pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 7  where said container is used to deliver pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 1  where the container is used to deliver a combination of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 3  where said container is used to deliver a combination of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 4  where said container is used to deliver a combination of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 5  where said container is used to deliver a combination of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compositions. 
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 1  where said contents of lower chamber could be released in various form consisting of a group of pills, tablets, capsules, geltabs, soft tabs and powders or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The container of  claim 1  where said container is used to deliver cardiovascular health-promoting nutraceutical composition 
     
     
         21 . A packaging apparatus comprising:
 a) a box with a lid;   b) a liquid fillable container housed inside the box having a lid;   c) an extension protruding from the top of the box lid housing at least one capsule.   
     
     
         22 . The packaging apparatus of  claim 21  where the container housed inside the box will contain solid matters of at least one capsule. 
     
     
         23 . The packaging apparatus of  claim 21  where the extension protruding from the top of the lid will contain liquid. 
     
     
         24 . A packaging apparatus comprising:
 a) a packaging platform;   b) a pre-structured space on the platform where liquid filled container could be placed;   c) a pre-structures space on the platform where solid material could be placed; and   d) a flexible plastic film that can be attached over the platform.   
     
     
         25 . A packaging apparatus comprising
 a) a liquid fillable container;   b) a removable container cover; and   c) an openable bubble wrapped attachment to the said container capable of containing solid material.   
     
     
         26 . An apparatus comprising a container with a cap wherein the cap contains at least one compartment 
     
     
         27 . The apparatus of  claim 26  further comprising at least one capsule in the compartment of the cap.
