The present invention provides a composition comprising HMB and Vitamin D. Methods of administering HMB and Vitamin D to an animal are also described. Vitamin D and HMB are administered to increase muscle mass, strength, and functionality. The combination of Vitamin D and HMB together has a synergistic effect, which results in a surprising and unexpected level of improvement in muscle mass, strength and functionality.

A consumable having replenishment properties to be consumed by animals to maintain and/or restore proper hydration and electrolyte levels includes a base portion and an electrolyte portion. The base portion is processed by at least one of pureeing, juicing, liquefying and macerating. The base portion can include one or more of an item of produce. The base portion can be all-natural. The electrolyte portion can include one or more of a sugar, potassium and sodium. The electrolyte portion is combined with the base portion to generate the consumable. The consumable can also include a natural supplement such as vitamins, minerals and/or proteins. The consumable has a melting point and may be frozen prior to consumption or may be consumed in its liquid-like or slurry-like form.

The present invention relates to novel SRC inhibitor compounds for improving skeletal muscle regeneration to maintain or increase muscle function and/or muscle mass by modulating muscle stem cells. For example, the present invention is useful for subjects to promote muscle repair and/or subjects suffering from precachexia, cachexia, sarcopenia, myopathy, dystrophy and/or recovery after muscle injury or surgery.

A food supplement is disclosed that comprises an extracellular matrix composition of hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine, ascorbic acid and, optionally, a cannabinoid composition. The food supplement can be given to pet animals for the relief of or prophylaxis of degenerative joint diseases, such as arthritis.

Applications of a diphenylpropenone compound of general formula (I), or a stereoisomer thereof, or a geometric isomer thereof, or a tautomer thereof, or a solvate thereof, or a salt acceptable for feed in the preparation of an animal feed additive or animal feed. Confirmed by animal breeding test, the diphenylpropenone compound, or the stereoisomer thereof, or the geometric isomer thereof, or the tautomer thereof, or the solvate thereof, or the salt acceptable for the feed can be used as the animal feed additive or the animal feed. Animal weight can be effectively increased, survival rates can be enhanced, and the compound has a good effect of improving animal production performance.
