This invention provides for a food product enriched with a composition of taurine and a soluble fiber, i.e., psyllium, wherein the soluble fiber is present in an amount ranging from about 2 wt.% to about 30 wt.%, based on the dry weight of the composition. Ready-to-eat cereals and other grain-based foods and beverages can be produced with taurine and psyllium components. The concentration of taurine to be administered should be approximately 100 to 1000 mg/day or alternatively at least 0.003 % of the food product. The concentration of soluble fiber in the finished product should be at least 2 % by dry weight basis and preferably no more than 25 - 30 % by dry weight basis, more preferably about 5 to about 19 % and most preferably from 11 to about 14 %. |
