Claims14
1-3. (canceled)
The process of claim 5, wherein the portion of the component of the nutraceutical composition is milk or a fraction thereof.
A process for validating the efficacy of a nutraceutical composition to provide a biological activity of interest, comprising:
- subjecting at least a portion of a component of the nutraceutical composition to a biological assay capable of testing for an indicator of the biological activity of interest;
- and
- determining the results of the biological assay, wherein a correlation between the results of the biological assay and the biological activity of interest indicates the efficacy of the nutraceutical composition to provide the biological activity of interest.
A method of determining the ability of a product to provide a biological activity of interest, the method comprising:
- subjecting a sample of the product to a biological assay capable of detecting a biological activity associated with efficacy of the product, wherein the detection of the biological activity associated with efficacy of the product indicates that the product is capable of providing a biological activity of interest compared to a product that has not been subjected to a biological assay capable of detecting said biological activity.
