Abstract: A method allows people to not compromise on the taste and flavor of sugar-containing foods and beverages, while reducing the net effect of the sugar in the body. The method may include oral consumption of the enzyme alternansucrase to convert up to 90% of consumed sucrose and other carbohydrates into a carbohydrate complex of undigestible or slowly digestible ?-1, 3 and ?-1, 6 glucan fibers in the gastrointestinal tract. These glucan fibers have the properties of dietary fibers and a degree of polymerization ranging from 3 to greater than 100. The methods may aid in glucose control, reduce insulin resistance and support healthy glucose homeostasis in diabetic and pre-diabetic conditions. It may promote healthy gut bacteria and improve bowel movements to benefit overall digestive health. It may also be applied to obesity control by reducing blood glucose and, through the production of fiber, blood lipid levels, which supports cardiovascular health.

Abstract: A method for producing baked goods with less added sugar without compromising the taste, sweetness and flavor of the baked goods. The method includes adding the enzyme alternansucrase in the dough-making process and may reduce the amount of added sugar in various baked goods by 50% without compromising taste and flavor. Addition of enzyme alternansucrase also maintains/improves certain key sensory qualities of the baked goods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of proteins, enzymes and probiotics to create a wholistic system that prevents negative effects of protein indigestion on gut microbiota and improves diversity and count of gut microbiota, thereby promoting microflora balance. The invention, in one or more embodiments, increases the bioavailability of postbiotics that regulate health, including, skin health, stress, anxiety and depression, physical endurance, healthy aging, inflammation and cardiac health. The invention, in one or more embodiments, also increases the bioavailability of essential, non-essential and branched amino acids.

Abstract: An oral fibrinolytic composition comprising the enzymes serrapeptase and nattokinase. The composition treats and/or may prevent fibrosis conditions and their related symptoms in animals, including humans. This composition may further comprise of one or more enzymes, bioflavonoids, vitamins, coenzymes, minerals, probiotics, prebiotics, herbs, excipients and/or combinations thereof. The composition may improve lung capacity, oxygen saturation, vigor, and/or lung function. It may further alleviate dyspnea, limitations and fear caused by dyspnea, cough, phlegm, fatigue, body pain, chest discomfort, anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, and/or respiratory disorders. The composition of serrapeptase and nattokinase and/or one or more additional component may improve immune health, sleep, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), social well-being, health status, mental health and/or exercise capacity.
