Embodiments of a method and supplement for preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal distress, including ulcer conditions, in animals such as humans are disclosed. The supplement is in a tablet or capsule form and comprises mastic gum and an emulsifying agent such as lecithin. The supplement may also comprise B vitamins, one or more prebiotics or probiotics, and one or more minerals as well as, pH buffers and flavoring. A disclosed method of preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal distress comprises orally dosing an animal such as a human with the supplement at least once daily.

The disclosed invention relates to a chemical composition that can be taken orally and supplements an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. In one aspect of the invention the chemical composition includes Retinol Palmitate, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), Pyridoxal, Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin, Cholecalciferol, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, L-Selenomethionine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, L-Tryptophan, L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, Cinnamon Bark Powder, and Curcumin.

Plant-based nutritional compositions comprise fava bean protein isolate and pea protein. The fava bean protein isolate comprises greater than about 10 wt % of the total protein in the composition, and the pea protein comprises less than about 50 wt % of the total protein in the composition. In certain embodiments, the nutritional compositions are high in protein, high in fiber, and low in calories. The compositions may be dairy-free and/or soy-free.

A method is disclosed for making palatable methionine-restricted foods, to deliver a methionine-restricted diet to human or veterinary patients. A protein or a food product containing protein is partially oxidized, preferably with ozone, to oxidize nearly all of the methionine and cysteine. After oxidation, tryptophan and lysine are optionally added back since they tend to be oxidized also. Optionally, a small amount of methionine is also added back so that the final methionine is within a preferred range of about 0.85 to about 1.8 gram methionine per 100 gram total protein, preferably about 1.2 gram per 100 gram total protein.
