Patent ID: 7235390

Claim:
A nutrient absorption increasing composition comprising: a) an amount of Aspergillus derived protease having a protein hydrolyzing activity of from about 1,000 HUT, to about 60,000 HUT, and a calcium compound cofactor which provides calcium in a ratio of at least about 1 mg of calcium for every 1200 HUT of protease activity; b) an amount of an Aspergillus derived lipase having a lipid hydrolyzing activity of from about 10 LU to about 800 LU, and a zinc compound cofactor which provides zinc in a ratio of at least about 1 mg of zinc for every 800 LU of lipase activity; c) an amount of an Aspergillus derived cellulase having a cellulose hydrolyzing activity of from about 3 CU to about 400 CU, and a manganese compound cofactor which provides manganese in a ratio of at least about 1 mg of manganese for every 400 CU of cellulase activity; and d) an amount of an Aspergillus derived amylase having a starch hydrolyzing activity of from about 1,000 DU to about 20,000 DU, and a magnesium compound cofactor which provides magnesium in a ratio of at least about 1 mg of magnesium for every 20,000 DU of amylase activity.
