Novel Esters of Medium-Chain Fatty Acids and Amino Acids for Enhanced Health ID: 2018-039

This invention introduces a groundbreaking way to enhance physical and cognitive health through the development of novel esters.

Technology Overview

The technology encompasses the creation of molecules derived from esters of medium-chain fatty acids, specifically C6-caproic acid, combined with amino acids like leucine. These compounds are designed to serve as an efficient energy source, leveraging the benefits of ketones to support both physical and cognitive functions.

Key Advantages

• Provides a significant energy source for various body tissues, including muscles and the brain
• Offers potential to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
• Enhances cognition and supports muscle protein synthesis
• May slow cognitive decline and support muscle health in aging adults

Problems Addressed

• Challenges in enhancing athletic performance and endurance
• Difficulties in supporting muscle protein synthesis efficiently
• Issues related to cognitive decline and muscle health in aging populations
• Limits of current dietary options for obtaining similar health benefits

Market Applications

• Dietary supplements for athletes and fitness enthusiasts
• Health supplements targeting aging populations for cognitive and physical support
• Nutritional products designed for those seeking alternatives to low-carbohydrate diets
• Potential for development into pharmaceutical applications for specific health conditions
