Abstract: The invention relates to a formulation containing a phospholipid constituent as a physiologically active ingredient, the formulation itself being in a water-dispersible granulated form and containing a fructane constituent, in addition to the phospholipid constituent, as a formulation auxiliary agent, in a weight ratio of 5 to 70: 95 to 30. At least one representative of the series phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinosite, phosphatidylserine and/or the lysoforms thereof is used in a preferred formulation. Typical representatives of the fructane constituent are graminan, inulin and levan. Said formulations have a particle size of between 10 and 1 mm, can optionally contain other physiologically active ingredients, and are used as/in food supplements, special foods or functional foods.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a matrix with a bioactive component containing phospholipid which is composed of 5 to 98% by weight phosphatidyl serine and 1 to 90% by weight phosphatidyl choline. In addition 1 to 94% by weight of a fat component of vegetable and/or animal origin, a wax component, a polyalcohol component and/or other physiologically compatible additives can be contained. In this connection a matrix is preferred which has a permanently flexible water-containing coat and which has a total diameter of between 0.3 to 20 mm. This matrix is used especially to strengthen the ability to cope with physical and mental stress and functional capacity.

Abstract: The invention concerns a physiologically compatible, phospholipid-containing, stable and hard matrix consisting of a supporting material and a bioactive component which has a total diameter of between 0.1 and 5000 ?m and contains ?5% by weight, based on the starting material, of acetone-insoluble components as the bioactive component, which are in particular phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl choline and such like, as well as lyso variants and/or derivatives thereof. This matrix which preferably has a supporting material consisting of carbohydrates and/or proteins and preferably additional bioactive substances as ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and similar substances, can have liquid contents and is used in particular in functional foods, special foods and dietary supplements.

Abstract: The claimed functional foods and specialized foods each contain a physiologically compatible phospholipid-containing stable matrix consisting of a supporting material and a bioactive component, the phospholipid component being in particular phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl choline and similar compounds, lyso variants and/or derivatives thereof. Liquid, solid and semiliquid forms of administration are preferred as the functional foods; food for tube feeding is regarded as preferred among the specialized foods. The matrix used for this should preferably have liquid contents and in particular have a diameter between 0.1 ?m and 5.0 mm. It is also preferred when the matrix develops a delayed release after its ingestion with the respective foods which should preferably take place in the gastro-intestinal tract.
