The present invention provides a composition, a dairy product, and a method for treating a disorder in a subject. The composition includes (i) polymeric nanoparticles and (ii) camel derived glycosaminoglycans (GAG)s ionic complex encapsulated into the nanoparticles, at least one active ingredient encapsulated into the nanoparticles, or combinations thereof. The nanoparticles are lactoferrin nanoparticles including camel derived lactoferrin, casein nanoparticles including camel derived casein, or combinations thereof. The dairy product includes ice cream or frozen yogurt, wherein the ice cream or frozen yogurt includes the composition and is derived from camel milk or other species of milk. The method for treating a disorder in a subject includes administering a therapeutic dose of the composition to the subject.

A method for making a plant-based yogurt product, by combining and mixing a predetermined amount of pulse of legumes, a predetermined amount of seeds and/or nuts, and a predetermined volume of water to create a first mixture. Then combining a predetermined amount of soy beans with water to create a second mixture that and heating it to a near boiling temperature, combining and mixing the first mixture and the second mixture. Then heating the combined mixture to between about 175 to about 190° F. for a predetermined time period, cooling, and adding a bacterial culture to the combined mixture and maintaining the combined mixture at between about 110° F. and about 120° F.
