A process to obtain a semi-solid solution to be used as a food coating, obtained from extracts of rosemary and other antioxidant components is disclosed. This process shows various advantages, namely, the obtention of the rosemary extract, which main components are rosmarinic and carnosic acid, and carnosol, are obtained easily without the use of polluting solvents, and showing a good yield and a strong antioxidant capacity. The coating solution has few ingredients and all of them are harmless to human health, beyond being cheap and easy to obtain, allowing the preservation of food in a natural way, without needing additional processing or plastics, in line with many studies that refer this tendency in consumers.

The present invention is directed to improving physical and athletic performance and supporting recovery of joints, ligaments, and tendons with collagen peptides and dietary ingredients that physical and athletic performance. The dietary supplement composition of the present invention comprise collagen, preferably in the form of hydrolyzed collagen peptides, in combination with Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), Creatine Nitrate, Arginine Nitrate, N- acetyl-L-Carnitine, L-Citrulline, Betaine Anhydrous, Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline, Ancient Peat Extract with Apple Fruit Extract, and Caffeine. Physical and athletic performance, as well as recovery from exercise, is improved using this combination of components.

Provided herein are compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions, nutraceutical compositions, foods, beverages, cosmetic compositions, diet supplements) comprising deuterated caffeine. The provided compositions may be useful for treating and/or preventing various diseases and conditions, such as obesity, causing weight loss, increasing metabolic rate, reducing appetite, increasing energy expenditure, increasing urine output, increasing sodium excretion, reducing edema, a pain disorder, apnea, hypotension, an encephalopathy, a neurological or psychiatric disorder, and an inflammatory disorder.

Oral formulations for promoting eye health, and in particular for preventing or treating macular degeneration, are disclosed, containing zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment, and at least two or more additional ocular-active nutrients selected from lipoic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, plant-derived compounds such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, or polyphenolics, taurine, carnitine, Coenzyme-Q10, carnosine, and nutrients that stimulate the production of glutathione. Processes are disclosed for identifying ocular-active nutrients that will interact in a synergistic and potentiating manner with zeaxanthin, to provide better and more effective protection, for eye health, than can be provided by zeaxanthin alone. Additional optional agents include zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin C.
