A method for modifying cannabinol (CBN) to trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content in a lipid-based extract of cannabis to yield a low-THC product. The method includes providing a lipid-based extract of cannabis containing THC, heating the lipid-based extract at 1 atm of pressure to 157 to 160 C. to vaporize a first portion of the THC, and converting a second portion of the THC to CBN by heating the lipid-based extract to between 130 C.-150 C. for at least 10 min. In one embodiment the step of vaporizing occurs after the step of converting to remove the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol from the product.

The present invention discloses an anti-aging Chinese herb extract, an extraction method and a use thereof. The ginseng-Astragalus membranaceus extract of the present invention comprises 20 to 30% of astragaloside, 1 to 5% of ginsenoside Rg1, 2 to 6% of ginsenoside Re, 0.2 to 0.5% of ginsenoside Rb1. There are 17 characteristic peaks in high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprints of the extract. The extract can effectively improve activity of telomerase, delay cell aging, and can be applied to preparation of an anti-aging product.
