The present disclosure provides composition and methods to improve the nutritional status of a subject, as well as aid in the maturation of the gut microbiota of a subject. The disclosure encompasses edible compositions that, when eaten in a manner described herein, impacts the subject's gut microbiota by changing the relative abundances of a plurality of health-discriminatory gut taxa in a statistically significant manner towards chronologically age-matched healthy subjects.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fermented milk and polysaccharide capable of inhibiting cancerous cachexia. A fermented milk with cancerous cachexia inhibitory effect according to one aspect of the present invention contains Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus as an active ingredient. Also, polysaccharide with cancerous cachexia inhibitory effect according to another aspect of the present invention are produced from the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. It is preferable that the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus OLL1073R-1 (accession number: FERM BP-10741).

Devices, systems, and methods for depleting fluids of immunoglobulins and leukocytes are disclosed.
