A nutritional composition is used to reconstitute an optimal healthy microbiota ecosystem in humans or animals. In particular, an ingestible carrier contains specific amino acids designed to favor the growth of bacteria favorable to individuals health or for reducing the risk of developing deleterious events. In another aspect, specific amino acids are used to reconstitute an optimal healthy microbiota ecosystem in humans or animals, in particular in infants, critically ill patients, in the case of chronic diseases or any stresses impacting the gut and in elderly people.

A nutritional supplement for reducing free radical damage is disclosed. The nutritional supplement includes a first vehicle comprising an upregulating compound mixture configured to upregulate an endogenous antioxidant system and an exogenous antioxidant mixture and a second vehicle comprising a mineral mixture. The upregulating compound mixture is configured to upregulate an endogenous antioxidant system to protect against free radical damage. The upregulating compound mixture includes alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, curcumin, EGCG, Olivol, rutin, quercetin, and hesperetin. The endogenous antioxidant system includes transcription factors such as Nrf2, NF-B, PPAR, PPAR/, and PPAR that promote transcription of antioxidant genes.

A composition for supporting endogenous systems related to life span, inhibiting mTOR, and reducing damage associated with oxidative phosphorylation. The composition comprises an upregulating compound mixture configured to upregulate an endogenous antioxidant system, an exogenous antioxidant mixture configured to inhibit oxidation of biomolecules by reactive oxygen species, and a mineral mixture configured to provide one or more cofactors to a endogenous antioxidant enzyme. The endogenous antioxidant system includes regulation of mitophagy through mTOR mediated regulation, and a Nrf2 transcription factors that promotes transcription of antioxidant genes.

An activity-enhancing supplement can include niacin and at least two ingredients selected from citrulline, agmatine, an endurance enhancer, a counteracting agent, a nitrogen-containing compound, a muscle building component, branched chain amino acid, and combinations thereof.

A daily liquid supplement for ocular and body health containing at least one of lutein, zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin and astaxanthin for a human subject for nutritionally supplementing macular pigments is disclosed. The micronized nutrients in a lipid based emulsion are more efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream than conventional supplement formulations resulting in higher serum levels and increased macular pigment.
