The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising calcium lactate as an active agent and a polysaccharide, polymer, lipid, or a combination thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful treating cancer. The invention also relates to foods and nutrient compositions comprising calcium lactate.

Disclosed are novel processing methods for green coffee beans that result in novel green coffee bean products, including products that incorporate whole green coffee beans which is combined with a whole hemp powder or CBD. Methods for processing green coffee beans include selecting whole coffee beans in their fresh green unroasted state with naturally-occurring levels of phytonutrients, sterilizing and drying them, applying iterative grinding processes and stabilization techniques, all while avoiding high temperatures. A similar method is used to prepare a whole hemp powder, which may then be combined with the whole green coffee bean powder.

Ketogenic compositions including a plurality of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts are formulated to induce or sustain ketosis in a subject to which the ketogenic compositions are administered. The BHB mixed salt is formulated to provide a biologically balanced set of cationic electrolytes and avoid detrimental health effects associated with imbalanced electrolyte ratios. A ketogenic composition includes BHB salts selected from sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts. The BHB composition may also include transition metal cations (e.g., zinc or iron), one or more BHB-amino acid salts, one or more ketone precursors, supplements, or other compounds that cause a rise in blood ketone levels without adding more electrolytes to the bloodstream, a short-, medium-, or long-chain fatty acid source, vitamins, minerals, flavorants, or other excipients.
