Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for acutely raising nitric oxide levels in a subject. In one example, the composition can include, an effective amount of a NOS dependent source of nitric oxide; an effective amount of a NOS independent source of nitric oxide; and an effective amount of a myeloperoxidase inhibitor; wherein the composition acutely raises nitric oxide levels in a subject above a level provided by the available sources of nitric oxide in the subject prior to administration of the composition. Further presented is a method of treating a subject for a condition or disorder that is response to nitric oxide therapy, including: acutely raising nitric oxide levels in a subject by simultaneously increasing biosynthesis of nitric oxide, increasing nitrate/nitrite levels, and inhibiting meyloperoxidase activity.

Abstract: Compositions comprising apple, grape, green tea, and olive extracts are presented herein.

Abstract: A weight loss system is presented herein. In one embodiment, the weight loss system that accelerates weight loss in a subject eating a caloric restricted diet with a minimum daily protein intake of about 3 oz. and engaging in daily physical activity equivalent to about 5,000 steps per day is presented. The weight loss system can comprise an effective amount of: an antimicrobial component that includes berberine, cinnamon and curcumin; fish oil; a probiotic component that includes Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Streptococcus spp.; an antioxidant, phytochemical component that includes apple extract, grape extract, green tea extract, and olive extract; and a vitamin component that includes vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. The weight loss system can stimulate a weight loss of at least 3% more than if not administered to the subject. Further presented herein is a method of facilitating weight loss in a subject and a method of improving the health of a subject participating in a weight loss program.

Abstract: A detoxification system can include an effective amount of a probiotic component and a fiber component in combination with a circulation enhancing component, a high-protein meal replacement component, or both. The detoxification system increases urinary heavy metal excretion, decreases a fecal zonulin level, decreases a fecal calprotectin level, decreases a serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) level, increases at least one of a salivary nitrite level and a serum arginine level, or a combination thereof in a subject as compared to a baseline level prior to administration of the detoxification system in an effective dosing regimen.
