- [Framework for Developing Recommended Intakes for Dietary Bioactive Supplements](https://ilsiuscanada.org/framework-for-developing-recommended-intakes-for-dietary-bioactive-supplements/) - This project aims to establish a framework for the development of intake guidance for dietary supplements while considering bioavailability, efficacy, form, matrix, and safety to parallel the existing framework for bioactives in food. Author List: Lead Author: Janet Novotny - USDA; Co-Authors: Johanna Dwyer - Tufts University & Tufts Medical Center; Mario Ferruzzi - Arkansas
- [Sarcopenia Research Database](https://ilsiuscanada.org/sarcopenia-research-database/) - This searchable database compiles more than 16,000 peer-reviewed journal articles on sarcopenia, covering the full scope of the field, from defining sarcopenia and screening tools to population-specific research, comorbidities, exercise and nutrition interventions, frailty, sarcopenic obesity, and policy. The purpose of this database is to give researchers, clinicians, and other health professionals a practical tool for
- [Predicting Protein Bioavailability](https://ilsiuscanada.org/predicting-protein-adequacy-protein-bioavailability/) - ILSI U.S. and Canada Protein Committee aims to improve protein quality assessment by evaluating protein bioavailability across the full continuum and identifying opportunities to integrate food matrix effects, processing influences, nutrient-nutrient interactions, post absorption utilization,​ and other real-world determinants into accessible protein assessment approaches. Led by Rajavel Elango and Teresa Davis, the committee will examine
- [Predicting Calcium Adequacy](https://ilsiuscanada.org/predicting-calcium-adequacy-phase-2/) - This project will develop and apply the first-of-its-kind calcium bioavailability algorithm to assess how effectively national food supplies meet population calcium needs. Using country-level food balance sheets, including domestic production, imports, and exports, the analysis estimates calcium bioavailability based on the total calcium content of foods as well as key dietary inhibitors such as oxalates
- [Predicting Iron Adequacy](https://ilsiuscanada.org/predicting-iron-adequacy-phase-1/) - This project aims to develop a predictive equation for estimating iron absorption that focuses on the effect of dietary factors which can be used to evaluate foods in the absence of host factors. Project Goals: Building on the Framework To Assess Bioavailability from Foods developed by Weaver et al., our aim is to develop a predictive
- [Recommended Intake Ranges for Lutein](https://ilsiuscanada.org/recommended-intake-ranges-for-lutein/) - Project details coming soon..
- [General Public Awareness of Sarcopenia](https://ilsiuscanada.org/general-public-awareness-of-sarcopenia/) - The goal of ILSI's project is to disseminate educational materials, mitigation strategies, and treatment guidelines on sarcopenia to the broader public to increase awareness of sarcopenia and how to prevent it. Deliverables and Outcomes: A communications campaign targeting older adults and the general public to improve awareness of sarcopenia. Supporters: This project is proudly sponsored
- [White Paper: "Categorization of Manufacturing Components in Cellular Agriculture: A Tripartite Perspective for Safety Assessment"](https://ilsiuscanada.org/white-paper-categorization-of-manufacturing-components-in-cellular-agriculture-a-tripartite-perspective-for-safety-assessment/) - About the Project: This white paper will provide a categorization of components according to utility, physiochemical properties, prior regulatory status in foods, safe and permissible levels, as well as hazards and toxicology. The categorization will be organized using existing, new, and proprietary information of the components, with the goal to generate a secured (restricted access)
- [Framework for Developing Nutrient Bioavailability Algorithms](https://ilsiuscanada.org/framework-for-developing-nutrient-bioavailability-algorithms/) - This project will develop a systematic approach to address applications toward the translation of globally harmonized nutrients while considering factors in the diet. The framework will use the calcium algorithm as a guide to establish a comprehensive, step-by-step approach that ensures consistency in the construction of nutrient bioavailability algorithms. Working Group: Connie Weaver, PhD (Lead)
