Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments provide nutritional compositions and methods of enhancing maturation of an infant's brain. The methods include the step of administering to the infant a nutritional composition comprising a protein with a degree of hydrolysis of 10% to 75% in combination with at least one of a monoglyceride, a free fatty acid, a salt of a free fatty acid, a phospholipid, and cholesterol.
Abstract:
The use beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid for improving glucose tolerance in a pediatric individual or in an adult individual is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid is administered via a nutritional composition.
Abstract:
Liquid nutritional compositions have an off-white color with a Hunter L value not less than 68, and comprise (a) a protein; (b) a carbohydrate; (c) an oxidizable fish oil containing an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid; (d) rosmarinic acid; and (e) ferric iron comprising ferric orthophosphate and/or ferric pyrophosphate. The liquid nutritional compositions exhibit reduced off-flavors and aromas typically encountered in compositions including fish oil.
Abstract:
Liquid nutritional compositions include functional ingredients such as beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, docosahexaenoic acid, and lutein. The nutritional compositions are useful to promote at least one of physical performance (e.g., body composition, muscle mass, muscle strength) and cognitive function (e.g., focus, attention, alertness, executive function) in an individual. The functional ingredients are incorporated into the nutritional composition in such a way that they do not adversely affect the desirable properties of the nutritional composition such as, for example, nutritional value, stability, solubility, taste, and mouthfeel.

Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions, such as liquid and solid nutritional compositions, that contain beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid and optionally at least one protein, carbohydrate, fat, or a combination of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Also disclosed are methods of using the compositions for improving physical endurance, locomotion, mobility and cognition in an individual, including a pediatric individual.
Abstract:
Compositions for improving bone health, joint health, or both in an individual in need thereof are provided, along with methods of using the compositions. Generally, the compositions include a combination of Curcumin and Vitamin K2. The compositions may also include a protein, a carbohydrate, and a fat. The compositions and methods may be particularly useful in the treatment or prevention of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, osteopenia, and osteoporosis.
