The present invention relates to a pad for treating skin diseases, comprising agar gel and a fiber layer fixed to the inside of the gel, and a manufacturing method therefor. The pad of the present invention inhibits blood vessel exudation symptoms according to vasodilation by maintaining a low temperature of the affected area, reduces an itchy sensation and, at the same time, removes, from the skin, plasma proteins and various plasma-derived substances accumulated in skin tissue, thereby having an effect of alleviating the symptoms of the affected area.

The present invention relates to a method of reducing total gas production and/or methane production in a ruminant animal.

The present invention relates to a method of reducing total gas production and/or methane production in a ruminant animal.

The present invention relates to a composition for improving bone health, including a functional fermented material using oysters, and the composition includes a fermented extract extracted from a fermented material of oysters and seaweed, which is obtained by fermenting oysters and seaweed, and the fermented extract may promote bone formation by suppressing the activity of osteoclasts and promoting the activity of osteoblasts.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a composition for improving bone health, containing large amounts of taurine and vitamins and containing natural gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and seaweed oligosaccharides from seaweeds using oysters.

Further, it is possible to provide a composition for improving bone health, including a functional fermented material using oysters which is excellent in effects of preventing and suppressing the occurrence of osteoporosis.

A treatment for obesity can include: providing a superabsorbent material that includes a porous network structure formed from a mixture of a plurality of water soluble polysaccharides that are not chemically crosslinked together; and administering the superabsorbent material to a subject in an effective amount to provide a treatment for obesity in the subject. The treatment can include at least one of: reducing weight of the subject; reducing rate of weight gain in the subject; or increasing rate of weight loss in the subject. The treatment of obesity can include at least one of: reducing caloric intake into the subject; reducing caloric absorption by the gut of the subject; absorbing caloric material from the gut of the subject into the superabsorbent material; or increasing transfer of caloric material from bloodstream into gut.
