It relates to a fat composition for use in a food item. The fat composition includes interesterified cottonseed stearin. It further provides a shortening, a filling, a flaked fat, a frying fat, or a food item including the fat composition. Methods of making food items including the composition and methods of making the composition are included.

The present disclosure provides a nutritional formula comprising alpha-lactalbumin enriched whey protein concentrate; beta-casein enriched milk protein; mildly hydrolyzed milk protein; osteopontin; lactoferrin; oleic acid-palmitic acid-oleic acid triglyceride, wherein palmitic acid is at the SN-2 position of the glycerol backbone of the triglyceride; lactose, wherein the lactose is reduced lactose; lutein; docosahexanoic acid; arachidonic acid; galactooligosaccharides; and polydextrose. The provided nutritional formulas may be useful in providing nutrition and/or promoting postnatal development of a subject (e.g., promoting postnatal development of an infant's gastrointestinal functions, nutrient absorption, immune system development, etc.). Also provided are powder forms, reconstituted formulas, kits, methods, and uses that include or involve a nutritional formula described herein.

The present invention discloses a capsule supplement that can boost the immune system and offer advanced protection. The food supplement is a food composition for oral administration as an anti-inflammatory and immune booster. The invention achieves the results by using its anti-inflammatory properties, fats, carbohydrates, protein, fruits, minerals and vitamins, antioxidant and is fortified with: vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and bromelain. It improves overall health and wellness. The said supplement increases the body defenses against viruses and other illnesses. Unlike therapeutic interventions, this supplement composes of ingredients that are in the food category, which is the primary source of nutrients for the human body. It helps the body maintains its healthy normal functions by using its natural source of sustenance.
