A composition comprising or consisting of L-theanine and one or more fructooligosaccharides, wherein the ratio of L-theanine to froctooligosaccharide(s) is of about 2:1 to 99:1. A composition in the form of a food or nutraceutical, and also in the form of a powder, granules, suspension, tablet, capsule, lozenge, bakery item, sweets, drink, beverage or oral preparation.

The present invention provides an edible composition for alleviating visual fatigue. The composition comprises in parts by weight 1 to 10 parts of curcuma powder, 1 to 12 parts of whole coffee fruit extract, 1 to 20 parts of phospholipid composite, 1 to 15 parts of DHA, 0.5 to 5 parts of phosphatidylserine, and 0.1 to 5 parts of vitamin C. After one week of trial consumption by the subject, the duration of photopic vision is improved with a significant difference in comparison with that before the trial; after 2 weeks of trial consumption, the overall score of visual fatigue symptoms decreases with a significant difference in comparison with that before the trial; after 8 weeks of trial consumption by the subject, the vision field thereof is remarkably enlarged, indicating the formulation may prevent the occurrence of glaucoma. The coffee extract combined with the remaining ingredients has a synergistic effect.

The present invention provides nutritional compositions that are employed as oral supplementation to the human diet and methods for using such nutritional compositions. The compositions of the present invention provide for supplementation to the diet of the cancer patient, as well as preventative dietary supplementation aimed at supporting the human immune system for those not currently suffering from cancer. Methods are provided that utilize specific combinations of selected forms selenium. chromium, and molybdenum in combination with fish oil.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising ethyl vanillin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an effective ingredient for preventing or treating muscle disease or for improving a muscle function. Having the capability of upregulating the expression of a protein associated with muscle protein synthesis and muscle mass increase in myocytes and downregulating at an mRNA level the expression of an enzyme involved in muscle protein degradation, ethyl vanillin can exhibit effects of muscle differentiation, muscle regeneration, and muscle strengthening through an increase in muscle mass against muscle diseases attributed to muscle function decrease, muscle consumption, or muscle degradation and can suppress sarcopenia. Thus, ethyl vanillin can be used for preventing or treating muscle diseases or for promoting muscle differentiation, muscle regeneration and muscle strengthening, muscle mass increase, or muscle generation or for improving muscle function.

The present invention relates to compositions for use in treating or preventing mastitis, for example sub-clinical mastitis, in a subject. In particular, the invention relates to a diet and /or nutritional composition which are characterised by a low inflammatory potential for their use in in treating or preventing mastitis, in particular sub-clinical mastitis, in lactating women. The present invention also relates to a risk prediction tool for the occurrence of subclinical mastitis in lactating women, which is based on the inflammatory potential of their diets.

The present invention provides a solid composition containing an amorphous poorly water-soluble material, and a method for producing the same. The solid composition of the present invention is a solid composition containing an amorphous poorly water-soluble material (1a), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (2), and one or more types of water-soluble polysaccharides (3) other than hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, and is characterized in that an XRD analysis value of the solid composition is 4.0% or less.
