The present invention is a nutraceutical formulation, intended for oral administration, comprising co-administered if not co-formulated melatonin together with at least one of strontium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K or their analogues. The nutraceutical combination or formulation is designed to be taken by mouth within about two hours prior to bedtime, and in fact should not be taken at any other time. The combination therapy gives new and unexpectedly improved results compared to the administration of melatonin alone.

A composition for glycemic control includes a sweetening agent, a polyphenol, and a starch. Examples of two formulations include but are not limited to i) a sweetening agent, gallic acid as the polyphenol and arabinoxylan as the starch; and ii) a sweetening agent, hesperitin or hesperidin as the polyphenol and inulin as the starch. Advantageously, the formulations include a combination of components to render an effective formulation that mitigates or rectifies hyperglycemic effects of high glycemic loads or intake.

The present invention relates to reverse micelle system based on sterols, acylglycerols, phospholipids or sphingolipids and metal ions. Reverse micelle system of the invention is able to cross mucosa and cellular membranes. It thus allows vectorization of metal ions to target sites. It is advantageously useful in the pharmaceutical and dietetic fields.
