A health promoting food composition of the present invention contains hormones having immune and intelligence enhancing effect, or those hormones in combination with anti-viral and/or anti-bacterial antibodies, and/or fructans. Thymic, adrenal and thyroid hormones are the main hormones in enhancing the immune function and in promoting intelligence development. The anti-viral antibodies are antibodies used against rotaviruses, respiratory syncynthial viruses, influenza viruses, and parainfluenza viruses. Fructans that may be used are oligofructoses and inulin. The health promoting food may be used to: (1) increase the immune function and enhance mental development of a mammal; (2) inhibit viral and/or bacterial infection in a mammal; and (3) selectively stimulate colon bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in a mammal. The combination of those hormones, fructans, and viral antibodies in a nutritional product may be used to provide overall health protection for a mammal. A method of production and use of the health-promoting food is also provided. |
