A method of improving at least one of the following in an individual: lean mass, muscle strength, cognition, systemic inflammation levels, blood cholesterol levels, blood triglyceride levels and glucose tolerance is provided, comprising administering to the individual a multi-nutrient composition a protein, creatine, vitamin D, calcium and an n-3 fatty acid.

Methods for quality control and optimizing the formation and characterization of micelles, vesicles or other aggregates are described herein. Pharmaceutically relevant peptides may be modified to form glycopeptide surfactants which form micelles or other aggregates with another surfactant. Glycopeptide and glycolipid surfactants can aggregate to form particles that enhance drug delivery. The glycopeptide surfactants may be drugs or pro-drugs which are delivered via the micelles or other aggregated structures.

Compositions and pharmaceutical forms for the treatment and prevention of coronavirus, which contain in its formulation non-hydrolyzed collagen as a surfactant with degreasing properties and natural active ingredients in the form of hydrolyzed powders of aqueous extracts of Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), Anamu (Petiveria Alliacea), Epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides), oregano (Origanum vulgare), star anise (Lllicium verun) together with preservatives, as well as the obtaining and preparation procedures associated with the development of the different compositions and pharmaceutical forms.

Described herein are compositions for use in medicine as anti-ischemic organ storage and perfusion solutions.

An infant formula for preventing gastro-esophageal reflux is disclosed comprising whey protein and/or casein, a galactomannan thickener, and a fermented milk-derived product.
