Selick and Wu gave a functorial decomposition of $\Omega \Sigma X$ for path-connected, $p$-local $CW$-complexes $X$ which obtained the smallest nontrivial functorial retract ${{A}^{\min }}\left( X \right)$ of $\Omega \Sigma X$. This paper uses methods developed by the second author in order to extend such functorial decompositions to the loops on coassociative co-$H$ spaces.
