Described herein is an innovative composition that improves sleep quality. This composition includes two important systems: 1) a sleep-inducing system that is being used for the first time in food and beverage products; and 2) a unique stabilizer system that provides a robust rheology and greater stability than other stabilizers. The two systems can be incorporated, individually or in combination, into food and beverage products, including but not limited to protein shakes and powders. Together, they enable this composition to aid in relaxation and optimal sleep quality, better sensory taste experiences than current market products, longer shelf life and robust stability. This disclosure also addresses a relevant need in the art for a beverage composition that promotes calmness and reduces stress by using natural ingredients, more specifically made from milk casein. In summary, the sleep-inducing RTD (ready-to-drink) and RTM (ready-to-mix) compositions described herein include a stabilizer composition that improves shelf-life stability and contributes to enhanced specific sensory attributes without any adverse effects.

Use of a lentil product to increase the bioavailability of non-haem iron in a composition comprising one or more anti-nutritional factors.

Provided are compositions and methods for oral delivery to an infant of a composition containing Bifidobacterium. The composition may be pre-loaded into or placed directly onto an artificial nipple or pacifier and may also be applied directly to the skin of a caregiver and/or to one of the gums, teeth or cheek of the infant. The compositions of the invention are provided in soft gel fill, dissolvable or disintegrable tablet or powder or semisolid forms and are stable for at least 24 months when stored at 25° C. and 65% relative humidity.

This invention relates, inter alia, to various plant-based electrolyte compositions, methods of preparing them and methods of using them. One embodiment concerns a plant-based electrolyte composition comprising a plant-derived electrolyte content high in potassium relative to sodium, and a plant-derived carbohydrate content less than about 6% weight/volume. Another embodiment concerns a method for re-hydrating an individual or preventing dehydration or over-hydration of an individual or or preventing or treating potassium deficiency in an individual, by administering to the individual a plant-based electrolyte composition. The electrolyte compositions can be prepared from sugarcane juice, sugar beet juice, sweet sorghum juice, palm syrup, maple sap, vegetable juice or fruit juice.

A method for preparing a liquid dietary supplement includes extracting kavalactones from a Kava plant, heating water to approximately 160° Fahrenheit, and mixing kavalactones with sugar in a 1:2 ration creating a Kava/sugar mixture. The method also includes pouring Kava/sugar and heated water into a mixer, mixing, for approximately twenty (20) minutes, and pumping mixed Kava/sugar through a filter bag generating a slurry. Further the method includes adding the slurry to water heated to 55° Fahrenheit and agitating the slurry and the water heated to 55° with a mixer.
