Novel products formulated for use as nutritional supplements are designed to enhance oral health and immune function in mammals. An exemplary composition can be customized by adding nutritional or therapeutic ingredients according to a health condition or medical requirement. Oral formulations are described which can be used as dietary supplements on a daily basis to effectively prevent plaque formation in the oral cavity in addition to providing immune protection mediated by enhancing saliva secretions.
Novel nutritional compositions supporting health and growth in mature and young animals are disclosed. The compositions are useful for the feeding of animals, particularly those used for food, performance animals, such as horses, and companion animals, such as dogs and cats. The nutritional compositions and supplements of the present invention are effective not only in supporting the growth and health but also in supporting and stimulating the immune system, and in mitigating undesirable infections. Additionally, particular fractions of the unique peptides produced by the disclosed methods can be separated and combined with and of a number health supporting ingredients, especially fatty acids which in combination with the peptides provide significantly enhanced health benefits.
