Desmeninol is a methionine hydroxyl analog. It is used as a feed additive for livestock, especially poultry to provide an essential amino acid necessary for the nutritional well being of farm raised animals. Desmeninol (ALIMET) has 88% methionine activity and is 100 percent absorbed by the animal. The benefits of ALIMET go beyond it being a methionine source, including: Antioxidant effect in the feed; Maintained performance during heat stress; Energy savings in the feed mill; Increased feed intake.

Rhamnose is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar which can be classified as either a methyl-pentose or a 6-deoxy-hexose. Unlike most other naturally occurring sugars rhamnose is found in nature as L-rhamnose. Rhamnose can be isolated from plants such as Buckthorn, poison sumac, and those of the genus Uncaria. It is also produced by microalgae from class Bacillariophyceae. Throughout nature, rhamnose is commonly bound to other sugars. It is a common glycone component of glycosides in many plants. It also forms a component of the outer cell membrane in acid-fast bacteria of the genus Mycobaterium, including tuberculosis.

Keracyanin (antirrhinin) is the pigment originally isolated from the fruit of the cherry. The compound exerts potent antioxidant properties. It is able to inhibit host- and bacteria-derived proteinases. Dietary supplementation with purified keracyanin suppresses body weight gain in high-fat diet fed mice.
