Abstract: A composition for use in a human by oral administration to reduce or control cardiometabolic risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome or hypercholesterolemia, or reduce risk of developing metabolic syndrome or hypercholesterolemia. The composition includes a combination of Arabinogalactan and Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), where the Arabinogalactan is present in the combination as a fiber matrix in an amount higher than 70% as determined by weight on dry matter basis, and the Dihydroquercetin is present in the fiber matrix.

Abstract: The method of using nutritional compounds including Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin). Arabinogalactan and Arabinogalactan combined with Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) to reduce and control cardiometabolic risk factors, associated with metabolic syndrome and hypercholesterolemia in a mammal, specifically a human, resulting in the enhancement of metabolism, reduced control levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduced oxidative damage in humans and other health benefits.

Abstract: A method of using larch wood extracts as natural compounds to give superior resistance to plants, plant parts, fruits and/or flowers against pathogens as bacteria and fungi. The method includes using larch wood extracts as natural compounds that naturally protect plant tissues against ultraviolet radiation and temperature, thus giving protection against sunburn to plants, plant parts, fruits and/or flowers during their development. Additionally, the method includes using larch wood extracts as natural compounds to naturally increase adaptive potential of the seedlings, increase the root growth of seedlings, and to maximize the ability of plants to grow vigorously in response to changing environmental conditions.

Abstract: The method of using nutritional compounds including Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), Arabinogalactan and Arabinogalactan combined with Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) to reduce and control cardiometabolic risk factors, associated with metabolic syndrome and hypercholesterolemia in a mammal, specifically a human, resulting in the enhancement of metabolism, reduced control levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduced oxidative damage in humans and other health benefits.

Abstract: A method for improving animal feed efficiency, efficiency of animal digestion, overall health of animals, and animal feed production efficiency. The method includes administering an effective amount of a feed additive composition having a combination of a dietary fiber and a flavonoid to an animal. The animal feed composition includes a Larch Arabinogalactan in an amount between 0.1% and 30% of the animal feed composition, a Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) in an amount between 0.1% and 10% of the animal feed composition, and an animal feed carrier or an excipient.

Abstract: A method of using wood extracts as natural compounds in cosmetic and hygiene products. In particular, the method includes using natural compounds derived from a plant material wherein the compounds are at least one of antioxidant Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), polysaccharide Arabinogalactan, Arabinogalactan combined with Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) and wood oleoresin comprising oil and resin, and wherein all these natural compounds are consequently extracted from wood and\or by-products of logging industry.

Abstract: A method of using a dietary ingredient by combining an effective amount of a dietary ingredient selected from the group consisting of Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), Arabinogalactan and Arabinogalactan in combination with Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) with a food such that the dietary ingredient preserves nutritional quality of the food, enhances a shelf life or stability of the food and improves organoleptic properties of the food without changing a nature, substance or quality of the food. The method further includes providing the combination of the dietary ingredient and the food to a group of consumers having special dietary needs. The dietary ingredient is used herein as an antioxidant to prolong the shelf-life of the food by protecting it against deterioration caused by oxidation and preservatives and against deterioration caused by microorganisms, and to aid in manufacturing, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, transporting or storing of the food.

Abstract: The method of using nutritional compounds including Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), Arabinogalactan and Arabinogalactan combined with Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) to reduce and control cardiometabolic risk factors, associated with metabolic syndrome and hypercholesterolemia in a mammal, specifically a human, resulting in the enhancement of metabolism, reduced control levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduced oxidative damage in humans and other health benefits.

Abstract: A method for isolating arabinogalactan and arabinogalactan with flavonoid dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) from wood, including butt logs and bark. The method includes extracting an extract from a combination of a polar solvent with wood particles and recovering the extract. The wood particles include at least one of i) a particle-reduced chip fraction obtained by subdividing the butt logs into chips, and ii) a dry cork fraction of the bark or a powdered bark obtained as a residue in finishing of mechanical wood products. The wood is a coniferous hardwood or a coniferous wood selected from the group consisting of a wood of a Larix genus, a spruce wood of a genus Picea, a fir wood of a genus Abies, a pine wood of a genus Pinus, or a wood of a Pseudotsuga genus.

Abstract: A method for isolating flavonoid Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) from wood parts including lower portions of the trunk, referred to as butt logs, bark and roots. The method includes extracting either the particle-reduced chip fraction obtained by chipping or subdividing into chips the butt logs and roots, or dry cork fraction of the bark or powdered bark obtained as a residue in finishing of mechanical wood products with a polar solvent. The method further includes recovering the extract. The wood used in the method is a hardwood or a coniferous wood selected from wood of Larix genus, spruce wood of the genus Picea, fir wood of the genus Abies, pine wood of the genus Pinus, and wood of Pseudotsuga genus. The isolated prime substance from all of the above genus is a flavonoid such as Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin).

Abstract: The presented composition and methods are effective to enhance anti-oxidation, gut flora and immune stimulation in pets. The composition includes a combination of Dihydroquercetin and Siberian or Dahurian Larch Arabinogalactan, more specifically, wherein the Larch Arabinogalactan has a molecular weight between about 9.5 kDa and about 37 kDa. The compositions may be in the form of a tablet, chewable tablet, capsule, resin, oil, liquid, liposome, powder, or suppository, and may be further comprised of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; or may be incorporated into a bulk feed or a feed supplement.

Abstract: Compositions and methods useful in quenching free radicals, the compositions including dihydroquercetin, vitamin C and Arabinogalactan, specifically, larch arabinogalactan, effective to enhance the immune modulating properties of Larch Arabinogalactan by quenching the free radicals that initiate a cascade of oxidative stress and inflammation.
