Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional ingredient, a composition comprising said ingredient and a method of making such an ingredient. The nutritional ingredient is exposed to at least one type of microorganism to render mineral nutrients contained therein bioavailable for absorption in the digestive tracts of animals or humans or both. This increases the solubility of the mineral nutrients which in the case of animals feeds lessens the mineral waste, in particular phosphates which can negatively impact the environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new composition, use and method for oral administration to a human or an animal of a physiologically active agent comprising neutralizing agents to increase pH in the digestive system to prevent denaturation, inhibitors of digestive enzymes to substantially prevent enzymatic digestion, and at least uptake increasing agents which increases intestinal absorption of a physiologically active agent, a drug and/or a nutrient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new composition, uses and method for modulating a physiological reaction or inducing an immune response after oral administration to a human or an animal of a physiologically active agent comprising (at least one) neutralizing agents to increase pH in the digestive system to prevent denaturation, (one) inhibitors of digestive enzymes to substantially prevent enzymatic digestion, and at least (one) uptake-increasing agents which increases intestinal absorption of a physiologically active agent, a drug and/or a nutrient.
