This application pertains generally to nutritional supplements comprising organic nutrients for consumption by a mammalian subject that supports and protects the immune system in a synergistic and complex way.

Disclosed are compositions of dietary fiber and nonnutritive bulk sweeteners and/or nonnutritive high-intensity sweeteners and/or flavors in a hard, amorphous structure that can be administered to humans and dissolves slowly in the mouth and supports gastrointestinal tract health.

The present invention relates to a granular food ingredient, and a method for making a granular food ingredient. The granular food ingredient is low in carbohydrate and fat. The granular food ingredient can be used as the basis for manufacturing a variety of food products which are traditionally made using flour.

The present invention relates to the field of prebiotics. Provided are uses for compositions comprising synergistically effective amounts of polyfructose and galactooligosaccharides (GOS).

An anti-inflammatory combination for improving nutrient metabolisms, intestinal functions and intestinal microecology and an anti-inflammatory food containing the anti-inflammatory combination are disclosed. The anti-inflammatory combination includes inulin, galacto-oligosaccharide, polydextrose, and a water-insoluble dietary fiber. Furthermore, a weight ratio of inulin, galacto-oligosaccharide, polydextrose and water-insoluble dietary fiber is 10-30:5-30:10-40:10-50. The anti-inflammatory food includes cereal flour, and the ratio of the cereal flour to the anti-inflammatory combination is 65-95:35-5. The anti-inflammatory combination is capable of reducing intestinal permeability, blood endotoxins, heavy metals and inflammatory factors, enhancing immunity, improving intestinal microecology and body biochemical indicators, and preventing chronic diseases.
