Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a composition containing riboflavin and a sesamin-class compound(s). This composition may incorporate a sesamin-class compound(s) in such an amount that the proportion (weight ratio) of its total quantity to the total quantity of riboflavin taken as unity is no more than 4.5, and it has the advantage that the analgesic and anti-fatigue actions of riboflavin are synergistically improved by ingestion of riboflavin in combination with a sesamin-class compound(s). The composition of the present invention provides compositions, in particular, pharmaceuticals as well as foods and beverages that are safe to humans, animals, etc., and can therefore be ingested for a continued period, and which have far superior effects to those of conventional foods having an analgesic or anti-fatigue action.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of reducing pain in a subject, comprising: administering a composition containing an effective amount of riboflavin and a sesamin-class compound(s) selected from the group consisting of sesamin, episesamin, sesaminol, episesaminol, and sesamolin to a subject in need thereof, wherein the composition consists essentially of riboflavin and the sesamin class compound(s), and wherein a proportion (weight ratio) of the total quantity of the sesamin-class compound(s) to the total quantity of riboflavin taken as unity in the composition is no more than 4.5. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sesamin-class compound(s) contained in the composition is selected from the group consisting of sesamin and episesamin. 3. A method of reducing fatigue in a subject comprising: administering a composition containing an effective amount of riboflavin and a sesamin-class compound(s) selected from the group consisting of sesamin, episesamin, sesaminol, episesaminol, and sesamolin to a subject in need thereof, wherein the composition consists essentially of riboflavin and the sesamin class compound(s), and wherein a proportion (weight ratio) of the total quantity of the sesamin-class compound(s) to the total quantity of riboflavin taken as unity in the composition is no more than 4.5. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the sesamin-class compound(s) contained in the composition is selected from the group consisting of sesamin and episesamin.
