Embodiments of a method and supplement for preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal distress, including ulcer conditions, in animals such as humans are disclosed. The supplement is in a tablet or capsule form and comprises mastic gum and an emulsifying agent such as lecithin. The supplement may also comprise B vitamins, one or more prebiotics or probiotics, and one or more minerals as well as, pH buffers and flavoring. A disclosed method of preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal distress comprises orally dosing an animal such as a human with the supplement at least once daily.

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.

An energy composition includes a methylated xanthine, a choline derivative, and at least one flavorant in a sufficient amount to render the energy composition palatable. The energy composition may also include vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, preservatives, and the like.

Salt formulations, which are resistant to moisture and cooking conditions, are described herein. The formulations provide particles of micronutrients and vitamins encapsulated within heat resistant pH-sensitive water-insoluble polymers, which are packaged within a salt shell. The pH-sensitive, water-insoluble, thermally stable materials stabilize the micronutrients, particularly at high temperatures, such as during food preparation and cooking, and release the micronutrients at the desired locations such as the stomach, small intestine, etc. Preferred pH-sensitive polymers release at a low pH, less than the pH present in the stomach. The particles can be used to deliver daily-recommended doses of micronutrients simultaneously with salt, eliminating the need for vitamin pills. This is particularly important in populations suffering from severe malnutrition.
