The invention provides a nutritional supplement and/or pharmaceutical composition for tableting comprising an embedded lubrication matrix. The embedded lubrication matrix comprises an oily liquid finely dispersed in an oil insoluble material. A method of lubricating a nutritional supplement or pharmaceutical composition for tableting using a matrix with embedded lubrication is also provided.

A stabilized composition of fat soluble nutrient(s) includes a water soluble polymer and at least one nutraceutically acceptable excipient. The composition can be in the form of significantly amorphous aqueous microparticulate mixtures or as a solid beadlet product. A process for preparation of a stabilized composition includes a fat soluble nutrient solubilized in an organic solvent embedded in an aqueous polymer phase by evaporation, so as to obtain an aqueous microparticulate mixture. This mixture is stable, soluble and can be formulated for end use or can be layered on inert core for example to obtain stable beadlet(s) for use in solid dosage forms. Such stabilized aqueous microparticulate and solid beadlet compositions exhibit good solubility and dispersibility. Stabilized compositions of fat soluble nutrients can be prepared using industrially convenient equipment and can be formulated as per requirement for use in health applications.

Compositions containing probiotics and a nitric oxide precursor such as L-arginine to enhance nitric oxide production in animals and methods for improving immunity, gut barrier functions, and gut health and treating gastroenteritis and mucositis in animals using same.

Provided herein is a composition that includes choline or choline salt and omega-3 fatty acid for nutritionally enhancing a food product, as well as the resultant food products. The food product when nutritionally enhanced with the composition has an acceptable taste or acceptable odor or the food product has a peroxide value of less than 50 mEq. Methods of preparing the composition and food products are also are provided. As seen in the accompanying figure the discoveries outlined herein have resulted in an unprecedented level of organoleptic stability over time, with no significant change to key sensory parameters typically seen in products that contain high levels of choline and omega-3 fatty acids.
