FIELD: medicine, pharmacy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to drugs and concerns a liquid food composition showing pH value above 6, viscosity value less 600 mPa x s at the shift rate value 100 s^-1 and temperature 20°C and wherein viscosity value is at least 125% of the above given viscosity value at pH less 5 and temperature 37°C. Proposed composition comprises the following components: (a) at least 0.05 wt.-% of pectin with the methoxylation degree from 2 to 50, and/or alginate; (b) at least 0.005 wt.-% of calcium, and (c) at least 0.1 wt.-% of nondigestable oligosaccharide with polymerization degree in the range from 2 to 60 and chosen from group consisting of fructans, fructooligosaccharides, nondigestable dextrins, galactooligosaccharides, xylooligosaccharides, soybean oligosaccharides, arabinooligosaccharides and their mixtures, and from 50 to 98 wt.-% of water. Also, invention discloses using this composition in a method for prophylaxis or treatment of excessive weight, and in a method for treatment or prophylaxis of diabetes mellitus of type II in mammals. Invention provides increasing bioavailability of calcium and elevating viscosity of the food composition at low pH value.

EFFECT: improved and valuable properties of composition.
