Abstract: A composition, useful in the prevention of osteoporosis, wherein said composition comprises (a) least one isoflavone and/or isoflavone glycoside, preferably genistein and/or genistin; (b) at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid; (c) optionally vitamin D, and /or one or more derivatives thereof and/or vitamin K and/or one or more derivatives thereof; and (d) optionally adjuvants and excipients in quantities as required, preferably within the range of 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Dietary compositions and galenical forms made therefrom and the use of said compositions for preventing osteoporosis and stimulating osteogenesis in mammals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pet food. More particularly the present invention provides a pet food comprising Epigallocatechingallate (EGCG) in a concentration of from 0.001% to 3% by weight, for example from 0.01% to 3% by weight, preferably from 0.1% to 2% by weight. EGCG is a polyphenol derived from the green tea plant Camellia sinensis. It may be added to the cat food in any form, including, e.g., green tea extracts containing varying amounts of EGCG as well as highly enriched EGCG preparations such as the EGCG preparation obtained by the process as described in EP 1,077,211. In this process EGCG is highly enriched starting from any green tea extract, e.g. green tea leaves are typically extracted with hot or cold water to form a solution containing tea catechins and caffeine. This green tea solution can be further concentrated to form either a concentrated extract solution or a dry powder. Tea extract powders are commercially available e.g. from Guizhou Highyin Biological Product Co., Guiyang, P. R.

Abstract: Pet food comprising 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and, optionally, vitamin D3 may find use for treatment and prevention of joint diseases, especially osteochondrosis, degenerative arthritis or arthropathy in pets, especially large dogs.
