FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is in the field of carriers for administering Ayurvedic nutrient and/or medicant compositions to humans, and pertains more particularly to the preparation of such carriers to enhance the probability of consistent use by humans for which the carrier is intended without affecting the taste of product.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to carriers for use in nutrient- and/or medicament-containing compositions designed to treat various ailments health conditions that commonly occur in mammals. More particularly, this invention relates to a novel chocolate composition as a delivery system for nutrients and medications wherein the composition is formulated to increase a patient's desire to consume the nutrients and medications delivered by the composition. In addition, this invention relates to a novel chocolate composition which itself constitutes an effective nutritional product.
Treatments are available today for a wide variety of ailments which afflict humans, e.g., obesity, depression, sexual dysfunction, premenstrual stress syndrome, etc. However, despite the fact that available treatments may have been proven safe and effective by studies of the highest scientific standards, most treatments fail and most ailments seem to defy eradication. Humans still suffer from both age-old diseases such as sexual dysfunction and women's health problems, or more modern diseases such as obesity or depression, (see: Garrett, Laurie, 1995; Diamond, Jared, 1997; 1999). The cost of conventional treatments can be considerable, it is estimated that for the treatment of osteo-arthritis, treatment with NSAIDS(non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) costs up to $90/month; for congestive heart failure the cost of treatment is $200,000-400,000; for benign prostatic hypertrophy $5,000 for Proscar (the most common drug prescribed); and for elevated cholesterol it is estimated to cost $30-125/month. These costs are considerable, especially when it is realized that many of these illnesses could be • prevented or mitigated if they were managed at earlier stages (Price, 1995). Furthermore, most people in developing countries, or poor parts of developed countries can simply not afford such treatments. Failure to get treatments can overburden the public health system costing many hundreds of balm of dollars annually! (see: WHO reports; United States Center for Health Statistics Annual Reports and National Institute for Health Reports).
A significant cause of such treatment failure is that compliance by patients in taking their medicine is inconsistent at best. Oral ingestion is the most common way in which medications or nutrients are consumed. However, many people consider oral forms of medications or nutrients to be unpalatable. Some people also consider orally administered

medications or nutrients to be invasively risky because of the presence of synthetic compounds therein. Surprisingly, many patients will not consistently take their medication even when their lives are at risk and the treatment is simple (see: Garrett, Laurie, 1995; pages 440 . . .). Even "one-a-day" vitamins are often not taken daily. As a result, compliance with, and, therefore, the effectiveness of, oral treatments vary from patient to patient.
Thus, in spite of the effectiveness, safety and convenience of many modern treatments for a variety of ailments, such treatments often fail because people do not properly follow their prescriptions or regularly eat their supplements (see Garrett, Laurie, 1995).
Many attempts to overcome patient non-compliance with oral treatments have involved altering the route of administration and/or the dosage. However, simply changing the route of administration or making stronger dosages has only marginally improved patient compliance.
Efforts to improve patient compliance have also involved modifying or fortifying conventional foods to create "medicinal foods". For example, such efforts have included increasing the levels of endogenously occurring ingredients in already-nutritional foods (e.g., fortifying orange juice with additional vitamin C) or adding nutritional or medicinal ingredients to foods which have limited or no nutritional or medicinal value (e.g., adding vitamins to breakfast cereal). However, these efforts do not really address the problem of patient non-compliance or variability. For example, just because a person perceives orange juice to be healthy does not mean that he will drink it, even if he has a cold. Simply fortifying the juice with vitamin C will not increase the non-compliant patient's motivation to drink it.
It is desirable, therefore, to provide a composition for delivering nutrients and/or medicines to humans which is more effective than prior art compositions in increasing patient compliance with oral treatments. It is particularly desirable that such composition contain mostly natural ingredients.
In contrast to their reaction to fortified or purified foods of the type discussed above, most people will eagerly ingest foods which they crave. In fact, people will ingest craved foods even if they understand such foods to be unhealthy or harmful to them.
One particularly craved food is chocolate.

The present inventors have also found that the fortified forms of chocolate identified in the prior art also do not contain sufficient amounts and/or the optimum ratios of the ingredients responsible for craving, or the ingredients needed to treat specific indications, to work as a nutritional or medical delivery system.
Since chocolate is expected to be a confection, large amounts of sugar and fat are typically added to it, or large amounts of saturated fat is left in. Thus, ingestion of large quantities of chocolate in its natural confectionery form would include unwanted ingredients which are deleterious to health.
A primary objective of this invention is to provide a composition for delivering ayurvedic nutrients and/or medicaments humans, wherein the composition has a formulation which the humans will readily orally ingest.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composition for delivering whole grains with sufficient dietary fiber to humans.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a composition for delivering nutrients and/or medicaments to humans, wherein the composition is composed of a novel ayurvedic chocolate product the craving for which by humans, is greater than the craving for conventional chocolate because of the no alteration in the taste of ayurvedic chocolate
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is based in part on the discovery that for a chocolate-containing delivery system or carrier to have more than just the normal craving casually associated with chocolate or a simple placebo effect, or, not to counteract the intended treatment, the ingredients responsible for the physiological cravings must be present in at least minimum amounts and in the correct proportions. If a delivery system does not contain sufficient amounts or ratios of the ingredients responsible for the physiological craving for chocolate, the chocolate will counteract the benefits of the nutritional or medical delivery system and possibly worsen the specific indications intended to be treated.
The present invention concentrates and optimizes those ingredients that are responsible for chocolate's physiological craving, and ingredients that work positively and synergistically with the nutritional or medical compounds. In other words, in the chocolate product of this invention, ingredients identified as being responsible for chocolate's physiological craving are increased relative to other ingredients in chocolate. In addition, ingredients that are considered harmful such as coca, cocoa butter, chocolate base are removed and some were reduced up to no harmful effect.

As stated above, for the satiation of craving to be strong enough to assure that chocolate will work as a nutritional or medical delivery system, The invention provides a novel Ayurvedic chocolate composition comprising extract of plants selected from Sida sps., Vitis vinifera, Withania somnifera, Boerhaavia diffusa and Tinospora cordifolia for the protection and prevention of health and in particular, but not exclusively with antioxidant, immunoenhancing, hepatoprotective, cardiotonic, diuretic, digestive, choleretic, nervine relaxant properties, the following ingredients responsible for craving must be present within at least the following ranges:
