Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates generally t o chemical compositions and mixtures. More particularly, the present invention relates to a nutritional composition. 2. Background Art [0002] Macro and micro-nutrients such as water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids/fats, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and electrolytes, enzymes, and accessory nutrients such phenolics and antioxidants, support a healthy life in humans and in animals. Studies show that adequate dietary macro- and micro-nutrient intake promotes health and wellbeing and slows the onset and progression of disease. However, most diets are deficient in these important nutrients due t o their general lack of convenient availability in preferable forms. [0003] Past nutritional compositions have consisted of artificial as well as natural ingredients. Additionally, past nutritional compositions often require flavor, color, and sugar/sweetener t o increase visual and sensory appeal to consumers. Such additives make routine consumption increasingly questionable and undesirable. SUMMARY [0004] Artificial ingredients are isolated or synthetic versions, or analogs, of natural nutrients and therefore lack the breadth, scope, and synergistic complexity of highly bioactive, bioavailable, and bioassimilable macro- and micro-nutrients found naturally in plant and mineral foods. These artificial compositions, as well as natural compositions, contain unsafe and undesirable preservatives, chemicals, synthetic additives, and contaminants like heavy metals. Past artificial and natural formulations are also unappealing in their appearance, taste, odor, and palatability. Many nutritive additives cannot be incorporated into other products without discernibly altering the substance's original or desired visual and sensory appeal. [0005] The currently-available formulations lack the convenience of a single composition containing very broad-spectrum, 100 percent natural, organic, plant- and mineral-food-based macro- and micro-nutrients. Currently-available formulations also cannot be universally incorporated as a nutritive additive into many other various oral and parenteral delivery methods such as in waters, beverages, foods, feeds, condiments, confectionaries, herbal and dietary supplements, personal care and cosmetic products, and medicines. [0006] Accordingly, a need exists in the art to provide a safe, convenient, and desirable form of a nutritional composition containing plant and mineral foods and that has multiple uses and forms. [0007] Plant- and mineral-food-based nutrients provide the ideal sources of broad-spectrum nutrients in their most bioavailable form for the body's optimal utilization. These nutrients have been found scientifically safe, essential, and beneficial for human consumption and use. Therefore, a natural nutritional composition containing nutrients from most, or preferably all, of the major nutrient classes can safely and conveniently fill the nutritional gap in one's diet and potentially has positive implications on human and animal health and wellness when consumed regularly in various conveniently available forms. [0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition that is safe, effective, and beneficial for humans and other animals. [0009] It is an object of the present invention to provide humans and animals with convenient oral and parenteral forms of nutrients. [0010] It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition having improved nutrient content. [001 1] It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition containing bioactive micro- and macro-nutrients. [0012] It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition having a variety of uses, including consumption and topical uses. [0013] It is an object of the present invention to provide a nutritional composition containing plant and mineral foods. [0014] The present invention achieves these and other objectives by providing composition having a plant food and a mineral food. The plant food is at least one of aloe, green algae, red algae, brown algae, blue-green algae, kelp, kombu, hijiki, nori, arame, sea pal m, bladderwrack, wakame, dulse, carrageenan, fungi, and bacteria. The mineral food is one or more of shilajit, humic acid, fulvic acid, zeolite, bentonite clay, charcoal, diatomaceous earth, dolomite, fossilized remains, rocks, gems, sodium chloride, sea salt, and derivatives or combinations thereof. [0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the plant food is an extract of aloe vera, preferably aloe barbadensis miller. [0016] In another embodiment, the aloe is substantially free of anthraquinones. In yet another embodiment, the aloe is at least 99% free of aloin and emodin. [0017] In another embodiment of the present invention, the aloe contains less than lppm aloin. [0018] In another embodiment of the present invention, the plant food is substantially free of solids having a diameter greater than 5 µ . In another embodiment, the plant food is substantially free of solids having a diameter greater than 0.5 µ . [0019] In another embodiment of the present invention, the composition has one or more of ascorbic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, malic acid, alcohol, honey, glycerin, salt, colloidal silver, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, vitamin E, astaxanthin, grape seed extract, and rosemary extract. [0020] In another embodiment of the present invention, the composition has at least 1000 mg of mucopolysaccharides per liter. [0021] In another embodiment of the present invention, the mineral food is fulvic acid, preferably a fermentation- or carbohydrate-derived fulvic acid liquid. [0022] In another embodiment of the present invention, the fulvic acid contains at least 1 part dibezo-alpha-pyrones per 20 parts fulvic acid. [0023] In another embodiment of the present invention, the composition is an aqueous solution. [0024] In another embodiment of the present invention, the aqueous solution is substantially clear, substantially colorless, substantially odorless, and/or substantially flavorless. [0025] In another embodiment of the present invention, the composition has a fulvic acid complex of least one of Fe +, Al +, and Cu +.

Antihypertensive effect of aqueous polyphenol extracts of Amaranthus- viridis and Telfairiaoccidentalis leaves in spontaneously hypertensive rats. J. Food Bioact. 1: 166–173. Abstract The antihypertensive effects of aqueous polyphenol-rich extracts of Amaranthusviridis (AV) and Telfairiaocciden- talis (TO) leaves in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were investigated. The dried vegetable leaves were extracted using 1:20 (leaves:water, w/v) ratio for 4 h at 60 °C. Results showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher polyphenol contents in TO extracts (80–88 mg gallic acid equivalents, GAE/100 mg) when compared with the AV (62–67 mg GAE/100 mg). Caffeic acid, rutin and myricetin were the main polyphenols found in the extracts. The TO extracts had significantly (P < 0.05) higher in vitro inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity while AV extracts had better renin inhibition. Oral administration (100 mg/kg body weight) to SHR led to significant (P < 0.05) reductions in systolic blood pressure for the AV (−39 mmHg after 8 h)and TO (−24 mmHg after 4 and 8 h).The vegetable extracts also produced significant (P < 0.05) reductions in diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate when compared to the untreated rats.

  • The Biogeochemistry of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling in Native Shrub Ecosystems in Senegal
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Ekwe L. Dossa for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Soil Science presented on December 28, 2006. Title: The Biogeochemistry of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling in Native Shrub Ecosystems in Senegal Abstract approved: Richard P. Dick Two native shrub species (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis) are prominent vegetation components in farmers’ fields in Senegal. However, their role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function has largely been overlooked. A study including both laboratory and field experiments was conducted to evaluate potential biophysical interactions of the two shrub species with soils and crops in Senegal. Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) mineralization potential of soils incubated with residues of the two shrubs species was studied in laboratory conditions. Additionally, the effect of shrub-residue amendment on P sorption by soils was examined. Under field conditions, the effect of presence or absence of shrubs on crop productivity and nutrient recycling in soil was investigated. Another study examined shrub species effect on spatial distribution of nutrients and P fractions. Results showed shrub residues used as amendments immobilized N and P, which suggested these residues have limited value as immediate nutrient sources for crops. However, soils amended with shrub residues sorbed less P than unamended soils, indicating that when added to P-fixing soils, shrub residues could improve P availability to crops. In the absence of fertilization or when water was limiting, shrubs increased crop yield, likely through a combination of improved soil quality and water conditions associated with the shrub canopy and rhizosphere. The presence of shrubs increased nutrient-use efficiency over sole crop systems.

    Effects of phenolic antioxidants extraction from four selected seaweeds obtained from Sabah Carmen Wai Foong Fu, Chun Wai Ho, Wilson Thau Lym Yong, Faridah Abas, Chin Ping Tan Algal have attracted attention from biomedical scientists as they are a valuable natural source of secondary metabolites that exhibit antioxidant activities. In this study, single- factor experiments were conducted to investigate the best extraction conditions (ethanol concentration, solid-to-solvent ratio, extraction temperature and extraction time) in s t extracting antioxidant compounds and capacities from four species of seaweeds n i (Sargassum polycystum, Eucheuma denticulatum , Kappaphycus alvarezzi variance Buaya r P and Kappaphycus alvarezzi variance Giant) from Sabah. Total phenolic content (TPC) and e total flavonoid content (TFC) assays were used to determine the phenolic and flavonoid r P concentrations, respectively, while 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant capacities of all seaweed extracts. Results showed that extraction parameters had significant effect (p < 0.05) on the antioxidant compounds and antioxidant capacities of seaweed. Sargassum polycystum portrayed the most antioxidant compounds (37.41 ± 0.01 mg GAE/g DW and 4.54 ± 0.02 mg CE/g DW) and capacities (2.00 ± 0.01 µmol TEAC/g DW and 0.84 ± 0.01 µmol TEAC/g DW) amongst four species of seaweed.

  • The Effects of Dietary Phytosterol and Cholesterol Concentration in Infant Formula on Circulating Cholesterol Levels, Cholestero
    THE EFFECTS OF DIETARY PHYTOSTEROL AND CHOLESTEROL CONCENTRATION IN INFANT FORMULA ON CIRCULATING CHOLESTEROL LEVELS, CHOLESTEROL ABSORPTION AND SYNTHESIS AS WELL AS OTHER HEALTH BIOMARKERS USING NEONATE PIGLETS By Elizabeth Abosede Babawale A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Food Sciences University of Manitoba, Winnipeg Copyright © 2018 by Elizabeth A. Babawale ABSTRACT High cholesterol synthesis at infancy could lead to hypercholesterolemia later in life. However, high synthesis at infancy could be traced to low dietary cholesterol especially in the formula-fed infants because they consume diets high in phytosterol (PS), a known cholesterol absorption inhibitor. High PS levels are found in vegetable oil used in infant foods. Human milk contains significant amounts of cholesterol ranging from 0.26-0.28mmol/L, compared to the very low levels in infant formula (IF) which can be as low as 0.08mmol/L. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of IF containing different levels of PS and cholesterol on circulating cholesterol levels, cholesterol absorption and synthesis, and other related health biomarkers using neonate piglets as model for human infants. A total of 32 piglets were used with 8 piglets per group fed diets of the following composition: (i) high in PS; low in cholesterol (HiPSLoChol), (ii) high in PS; high in cholesterol (HiPSHiChol), (iii) low in PS; high in cholesterol (LoPSHiChol) and (iv) low in PS; low in cholesterol (LoPSLoChol). After 21 days of study, various tissues were collected for analysis.

  • Natural Anti-Inflammatories
    Natural Anti-Inflammatories The pineapple has natural anti-inflammation enzymes such as Bromelain. It is richest in the inner core which most people throw away. Papaya also has strong anti-inflammation enzymes. Make a Pineapple and Papaya smoothie using the pineapple core. My other top eleven anti-inflammation foods are : 1. Kelp Anti-inflammatory Agent: Kelp such as kombu contains fucoidan, a type of complex carbohydrate that is anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti- oxidative. A few studies on fucoidan in recent years have found promising results in using the brown algae extract to control liver and lung cancer and to promote collagen synthesis. The high fiber content of kelp also helps to induce fullness, slow fat absorption and promote weight loss. But whenever possible, get only organic kelps harvested from unpolluted sea. Sidekicks: Need another good reason to re-visit your favorite Japanese restaurants? Besides kombu, wakame and arame are also good sources of fucoidan. A marine vegetable native to the Tongan Islands called limu moui is also a fucoidan powerhouse. Arch-Enemy: Seaweed snack. Go easy on seaweed snacks as they can be heavily salted and coated with a thick layer of vegetable oil. Check the ingredients list before buying. 2. Wild Alaskan Salmon Anti-inflammatory Agent: Salmon is an excellent source of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), two potent omega-3 fatty acids that douse inflammation. The benefits of omega-3 have been backed by numerous studies and they range from preventing heart disease and some cancers to reducing symptoms of autoimmune diseases and psychological disorders.
