Abstract: A dietary composition comprising (i) from about 40% to about 80% (w/w) of a fiber composition comprising glucomannan, xanthan gum, and alginate; and (ii) from about 10% to about 60% (w/w) psyllium is provided, along with a method and a food product for promoting satiety, promoting weight loss, lowering blood cholesterol levels or lowering blood glucose levels in a mammal.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes compositions including a eutectic matrix that includes methylsulfonylmethane and a sugar alcohol and particles of a nutraceutical in the eutectic matrix. In some embodiments, the sugar alcohol:methylsulfonylmethane ratio may be from 95:5 to 20:80. Also provided herein are methods for making the compositions and methods for increasing solubility and bioavailability of a nutraceutical.

Abstract: Provided herein are water soluble solid form compositions including a curcuminoid; and a solubilizer selected from one or more of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and steviol glycoside; glycerol polyethylene glycol hydroxystearate (GPGH) and steviol glycoside; fatty acid glycerol polyglycoester (GPE); steviol glycoside and an aromatic amino acid; and steviol glycoside. Also provided herein are methods of making the water soluble solid form compositions.

Abstract: Provided herein are solid form water soluble curcuminoid compositions, including a curcuminoid; and a solubilization matrix, wherein the solubilization matrix is selected from one or more of the following: (i) chlorophyllin (CHL); (ii) green tea extract; (iii) epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG); (iv) Rutin; and (v) an aromatic amino acid. Alternatively, the solubilization matrix may include methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). Also provided herein are methods for producing curcuminoid compositions.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides dietary fiber compositions comprising effective amounts of glucomannan, xanthan gum, and alginate to produce a desired viscosity. The invention also provides food products comprising an effective amount of a dietary fiber composition. In other aspects, the invention provides methods for preparing a dietary fiber composition or a food product comprising a dietary fiber composition and methods for promoting satiety, promoting weight loss, lowering blood glucose levels, or lowering blood cholesterol levels in a mammal.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition composed of a dietary fiber composition composed of from about 48% to about 90% (w/w) glucomannan, from about 5% to about 20% (w/w) xanthan gum, and from about 5% to about 30% (w/w) alginate in combination with at least one of metformin or sitagliptin or a combination thereof is described. The pharmaceutical composition is effective to lower elevated blood glucose levels and total blood cholesterol levels in a subject significantly more than the dietary fiber composition alone or a composition consisting of at least one of metformin or sitagliptin or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Dietary fibre compositions composed of 48-90% w/w glucomannan, 5-20% w/w xanthan gum and 5-30% w/w alginate in combination with metformin, sitagliptin or a mixture thereof for the treatment of metabolic disease are disclosed.
