Abstract
In an embodiment, compositions comprising monoacylglycerols (MAG), such as sn-1(3) MAG, are administered with a lipase inhibitor, such as tetrahydrolipstatin, and/or with a diet low in fat and/or calories. In another embodiment, compositions comprising MAG, such as sn-1(3) MAG, are administered concurrently with a lipase inhibitor, such as tetrahydrolipstatin, and/or with fat-soluble nutrients. The compositions and the methods of using the compositions enhance absorption of fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients such as fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids to address nutritional deficiencies due to a weight loss diet used in association with a lipase inhibitor.
