Abstract
The present invention includes compositions and methods of making and using a dietary supplement manufactured from one or more natural polysaccharides previously incubated with a probiotic bacteria in a bioreactor system, wherein the bacteria process the polysaccharides and the resulting processed polysaccharide are provided in the nutritional supplement.
Claims19
A method of making a dietary supplement comprising:
- incubating one or more natural polysaccharides with a non-pathogenic probiotic bacteria in a bioreactor system under conditions that stimulate the processing by the non-pathogenic probiotic bacteria of the polysaccharides into reduced molecular weight polysaccharides;
- processing the natural polysaccharides into reduced molecular weight polysaccharides by the non-pathogenic probiotic bacteria;
- and
- preparing the dietary supplement after at least a portion of reduced molecular weight polysaccharides have been processed by the non-pathogenic probiotic bacteria.
