The invention discloses compositions and methods which are useful in improving delivery of oxygen to cells. The compositions require at least one derivative of a compound. The derivatives are chosen to have log P values below about 6.0.
Niacin and niacin prodrugs are topically administered as suitable formulations to device for impoving the lipid profiles of subjects, preferably humans.
The invention involves methods and compositions useful in delivering micronutrients to cells. By formulating the micronutrient in the form of an ester that is convertible to the active form of the micronutrient, one can combine it with a co-ester that inhibits esterases, so that the
