Abstract:
Compositions and methods for improving the nutritional and physiological status of a woman and her child during all stages of pregnancy are provided herein. The compositions are particularly useful for the neurological, visual, and cognitive development of an embryo, fetus, or infant and the nutritional and physiological well-being of the mother, fetus, and infant. The compositions contain one or more folates and one or more essential fatty acids (EFA), such as an omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acid. The one or more folates and essential fatty acid may be administered together or in separate dosage units. The compositions may optionally contain other vitamins, minerals, and ingredients.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel grape extract, and processes for making such, that is useful for, inter alia, treating pre-hypertension, Metabolic Syndrome and/or the conditions that comprise Metabolic Syndrome. The processes of the present invention produce a highly concentrated polyphenol product by maximizing extraction of monomeric and oligomeric procyanidins and minimizing extraction of polymeric procyanidins. The grape extract of the present invention comprises between about 5-15% monomers, about 5-20% dinners, about 3- 10% trimers, about 2-10% tetramers, and about 2-10% pentamers by weight. The grape extract of the present invention can be formulated into dietary supplements, including capsules, tablets, powders, solutions, gels, suspensions, creams, gels, and the like. These dietary supplements in, for instance, powder or solution form, may be added to nutraceuticals, foods and/or beverages to form functional nutraceutical, food, and/or beverage products.
Abstract:
The invention relates to nutritional compositions and infant formulas comprising a combination of a colostrum-derived product and a prebiotic component. The composition of the invention provides an improvement of the regulation and stimulation of the development of the immune system.
Abstract:
It has now been found that after administration to a diseased person or person that is at risk for developing such disease of a neutraceutical or pharmaceutical composition that comprises a/ a lipid fraction comprising at least one of docosahexaneoic acid (DHA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA); b/ a protein fraction comprising proteinaceous material from non-human origin which provide at least cysteine and/or taurine; and c/ a mineral fraction comprising at least one of manganese and molybdene, the health of these persons improves. Membrane function of several types of mammalian cells improves, which allows efficient treatment of immune related disorders, such as allergy, autoimmune diseases, cancer, cognitive dysfunction and other diseases of the nervous system, neuropathies, such as diabetic neuropathies and neuropathic pains, neuronal damage during insulin resistance, and gut diseases and support of the development of gut and lung function during growth or recovery.

Abstract:
The invention refers to a process for the production of protein hydrolysates in composition with manganese, in particular of the type obtainable from by-products of animal origin and/or from waste and/or from leather tanning industry residues obtained before and after the tanning step.
Abstract:
A mineral supplement is described herein that has a high mineral and/or nitrogen content and is capable of being formed into a pellet. The mineral supplement may comprise a heat sink that absorbs heat during processing, thus facilitating the formation of the mineral supplement as a pellet.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel product comprising at least one type of highly bioavailable mineral, to a method for the preparation thereof, to a compound containing said product and to the uses thereof. The inventive product can be used for preparing a food compound, preferably a food additive or a dietetic product. Said compounds are particularly efficient for preventing or curing diseases related to mineral deficiency.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a nutritional composition for reconstituting an optimal healthy microbiota ecosystem in humans or animals. In particular, the present invention relates to an ingestible carrier containing specific amino acids designed to favor the growth of bacteria favorable to individuals health or for reducing the risk of developing deleterious events. The invention also pertains to the use of specific amino acids for reconstituting an optimal healthy microbiota ecosystem in humans or animals, in particular in infants, critically ill patients, in the case of chronic diseases or any stresses impacting the gut and in elderly people.
