The present invention is directed to a method of replacing collagen broken down during physical activity using a novel dietary supplement. The supplement composition of the present invention comprises collagen, glutamine, taurine, and, optionally, the nine essential amino acids. The uptake of collagen is enhanced using this combination of components to levels substantially near the pre-workout levels.

Methods and systems for reducing acrylamide concentration in heat-processed products, and products produced by such methods and systems are provided. The baked products may be sprayed with a riboflavin solution and then irradiated with a UV light source to initiate monomer reactions of acrylamide and reduce the concentration of the acrylamide in the baked product. In addition, riboflavin may be dissolved in heat-processed products, followed by irradiation of the riboflavin-containing heat-processed products with a UV light source to initiate monomer reactions of acrylamide and reduce the concentration of the acrylamide in the baked product.

Methods for delivering at least one compound selected from nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinic acid riboside (NAR), and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), derivatives thereof, or salts thereof, in combination with at least one of thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), and pyridoxine (vitamin B6), to an infant human subject in need of said compound or compounds are provided.

The present invention provides a composition containing α-lipoic acid and N-acetylcysteine as active ingredients. The mixed composition of α-lipoic acid and N-acetylcysteine of the present invention can reduce a risk of side effects due to drugs with synergetic effects due to merge administration of two drugs, and can be usefully used for preventing or treating obesity with excellent effects of inhibiting a weight gain compared to each single composition containing α-lipoic acid or N-acetylcysteine.

The present disclosure relates to a lipid source for nutritional compositions, comprising an enriched lipid fraction which comprises structured fat globules. The enriched lipid fraction provides fat globules having a desired size and fatty acid composition and may be stabilized by components such as phospholipids, cholesterol, milk-fat globule membrane protein and combinations thereof. Additionally, the disclosure relates to methods of supporting lipid digestion in a pediatric subject by providing a nutritional composition comprising an enriched lipid fraction having structured fat globules that are more accessible to lipases. The chemical composition, size and structure of the fat globules may improve digestion. The disclosed nutritional compositions may provide additive and or/synergistic beneficial health effects.
