The present invention pertains to a composition for inducing a pattern of gut barrier maturation similar to that observed with breast-feeding and able to improve gut barrier maturation, e.g. during neonatal stress. In particular, the present invention relates to an infant formula containing a combination of specific ingredients designed to provide a synergistic effect all along gastrointestinal tract and barrier function.

Nutritional formula for optimal gut barrier function

A composition for use as a medicament, functional food or nutritional product is described which comprises at least one lipid wherein the lipid provides greater than 35% total energy of the composition. A preferred embodiment comprises a n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio of about 2/1 to 7/1. In addition, a method of preparing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament, functional food or nutritional product; and a method of treatment or treatment or prevention of sepsis or inflammatory shock which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition are described.

High lipid diet

The present invention relates to a nutritional composition suitable for patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation such as cancer patients. The composition, which may be in powder or liquid form, comprises casein and whey proteins, TGF-&#x3b2; and free glutamine.

Nutritional composition against side effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy

A composition for use as a medicament or nutritional product is described which comprises at least one lipid wherein the lipid provides greater tan 35% total energy of the composition. A prefered embodiment comprises a n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio of about 2/1 to 7/1. In addition, a method of preparing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional product; and a method of treatment or prevention of sepsis or inflammatory shock which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition are described.

A method is described to provide composition for a nutritional supplement for convalescing patients recovering from illness or surgery, those with limited appetite such as the elderly, children or anorexic patients, or those who have impaired ability to digest other sources of protein such as persons having chronic gastritis who have a reduced gastric pepsin digestion. The supplement comprises: (i) a protein source which provides at least about 8% total calories of the composition and which includes at least about 50% by weight whey protein; (ii) a lipid source having an omega 3:6 fatty acid ratio of about 5:1 to about 10:1 and which provides at least about 18% total calories of the composition; (iii) a carbohydrate source; and (iv) a balanced macronutrient profile comprising at least vitamin E and vitamin C. The supplement has reduced capacity to induce satiety. Also disclosed is a method of treatment which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition.
