Glucose oxidase and further compositions are described. The glucose oxidase compositions have glucose oxidase and at least one ingredient selected from one or more of carbohydrate (e.g. dietary fibre or saccharide), polyol or sugar alcohol while further compositions are sweeteners, food, compositions for fortification of food, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. The compositions incorporate low glycemic index nutritive compound of glycemic index less than 70, preferably less than 50, and are in the form of powders, granules, crystalline compositions, flours, pills, tablets, capsules, pellets, powder for oral suspensions, gels, liquid solutions and suspensions, and sterile preparations. The compositions regulate one or more diseases/conditions, including but not limited to those associated with blood, kidney, thyroid, nerves, joints, weight, diabetes, oxidative stress, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, amyloid foot ulcers, cataract, glaucoma, hypertension, metabolic disorders, digestive disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome, mastopathy, dupuytren's contracture, gingivitis, periodontitis, dental caries, mouth disorders, cognitive dysfunction, and Parkinson's disease.

The present invention relates to a composition in powder form comprising probiotic bacteria and at least one iron-milk protein complex. Such iron-milk protein complex advantageously does not cause significant reduction in the viability of the bacteria and thus such iron source is advantageously used to fortify a composition in powder form comprising probiotic bacteria.

Disclosed are a novel Akkermansia muciniphila EB-AMDK27 strain having the effect of preventing or treating inflammatory disease or metabolic disease, and a pharmaceutical composition effective for preventing or treating inflammatory disease or metabolic disease, which contains the strain, a culture thereof, or a dried product thereof. While traditional probiotics generally have insufficient therapeutic effects on inflammatory or metabolic diseases, the disclosed next generation probiotic strain has an excellent effect on the prevention or treatment of inflammatory disease and/or metabolic disease so that it may be used as a new prophylactic and therapeutic tool.

The invention disclosed herein relates to a novel synergistic nutritional composition for promoting axonal regeneration. Particularly, the present invention provides potent nutritional composition comprising synergistic exogenous blend of agmatine (decarboxylated L-arginine) and inosine monophosphate (IMP) and salts thereof, which are present in a weight ratio of 1:0.05 to 1:2 along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The instant synergistic nutritional composition is useful for treating diseases or disorders related to traumatic injury in the central nervous system such as brain or spinal cord injury, optic nerve lesions.
