## Abstract

This invention relates generally to products and methods using lunasin-enriched soy extract combined with Reliv Now® to reduce free fatty acid levels and increase leptin levels and adiponectin levels in plasma for the control of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel compositions comprising lunasin enriched soy extract and Reliv Now® formulations, methods of using these compositions in individuals for the control of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and methods of making compositions comprising them.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for increasing adiponectin plasma levels in an individual in need thereof, comprising administering to the individual a composition comprising: lunasin enriched soy extract and French maritime pine bark extract.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises: soy protein isolate, soy flour, lecithin, minerals, vitamins, calcium carbonate, brewer's yeast, dicalcium phosphate, inulin, L-methionine, kelp, rutin, licorice root, rhubarb root, cayenne pepper, rose hips, butternut bark, Irish moss, bromelain, papain, garlic powder and soy flour enzyme.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein administering comprises oral ingestion of the composition.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein said composition is in the form of a capsule, tablet, powder, semi-solid formulation, liquid, gel, suspension, or aerosol spray.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein said lunasin enriched soy extract is present in a concentration of between 1% and 5% by weight.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein said composition is administered on a daily basis.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein said composition comprises between 5 mg and 2 grams of lunasin enriched soy extract

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein said composition comprises between 100 mg and 1 gram of lunasin enriched soy extract.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein said composition comprises approximately 500 mg of lunasin enriched soy extract.

### Claim 10

A method for increasing adiponectin plasma levels in an individual in need thereof, comprising administering to the individual a composition comprising: a) lunasin enriched soy extract at a concentration of between 1% and 5% by weight, and b) French maritime pine bark extract.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the individual has low levels of adiponectin.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the composition further comprises: soy protein isolate, soy flour, lecithin, minerals, vitamins, calcium carbonate, brewer's yeast, dicalcium phosphate, inulin, L-methionine, kelp, rutin, licorice root, rhubarb root, cayenne pepper, rose hips, butternut bark, Irish moss, bromelain, papain, garlic powder and soy flour enzyme.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein administering comprises oral ingestion of the composition.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein composition is in the form of a capsule, tablet, powder, semi-solid formulation, liquid, gel, suspension, or aerosol spray.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein said composition is administered on a daily basis.

### Claim 16

A method for increasing adiponectin levels in an individual in need thereof, comprising administering to the individual a composition comprising: lunasin enriched soy extract, soy protein isolate, soy flour, lecithin, minerals, vitamins, calcium carbonate, brewer's yeast, dicalcium phosphate, inulin, L-methionine, kelp, rutin, licorice root, rhubarb root, cayenne pepper, rose hips, butternut bark, Irish moss, French maritime pine bark extract, bromelain, papain, garlic powder and soy flour enzyme.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the individual has low levels of adiponectin.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein said lunasin enriched soy extract is present in a concentration of between 1% and 5% by weight.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein administering comprises oral ingestion of the composition.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein said composition is in the form of a capsule, tablet, powder, semi-solid formulation, liquid, gel, suspension, or aerosol spray.
