Nutritional composition for cognitive function and neuron health
The granted patent US12005083B1 outlines a method for enhancing cognitive function and supporting neuron cellular health through the administration of a specific nutritional composition. This composition includes a milk fat globule membrane component, at least one human milk oligosaccharide, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Notably, the DHA is converted into a phospholipid form within the gastrointestinal tract, leading to an increased level of this phospholipid in the blood compared to individuals receiving a similar composition without the human milk oligosaccharide. The claims emphasize the importance of the oligosaccharide, particularly 2'-fucosyllactose (2'FL), in achieving these health benefits.
Further claims detail the composition's characteristics, including a low lactose content in the milk fat globule membrane and a high protein content. The nutritional composition may also include additional components such as arachidonic acid, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and sphingomyelin. The patent specifies that the oligosaccharide should be free of dietary butyrate and outlines various types of human milk oligosaccharides that can be included. The milk fat globule membrane is described to contain specific proportions of fat, moisture, ash, and phospholipids, ensuring a targeted formulation aimed at improving cognitive and neuronal health.
