The invention provides a method for establishing a separable regeneration system for verifying regeneration effect between two antioxidants, which belongs to the field of regeneration effect of antioxidants. According to different solubilities of two antioxidants, lipid-soluble antioxidant is first combined into PE film, and water-soluble antioxidant is dissolved into deionized water and a separable regeneration system where antioxidants can contact with other but not dissolve in each other is formed. This method compares the differences of change of antioxidant capacity in aqueous phase with and without lipid-soluble antioxidant so that to judge whether the added lipid-soluble antioxidant has regeneration effect on aqueous-soluble antioxidant. The present invention effectively verifies the regeneration effect between different antioxidants, and has advantages of simple operation, less interference factors, intuitive and high efficiency.

A gummy includes an inner portion, a formulation having a dispersion including a plurality of liposomal vesicles contained in the inner portion; and an outer portion which surrounds the inner portion. The formulation includes an active ingredient including cannabidiol (CBD), phospholipid contained in the liposomal vesicles, and a optionally added coating material, the CBD being incorporated within the liposomal vesicles. A method of making such gummy having the CBD formulation in the inner portion thereof includes setting up a central filling apparatus having a shell syrup hopper, a central filling hopper, and a manifold branch and nozzle mechanism; filling the shell syrup hopper with the base material; filling the central filling hopper with the CBD formulation; dispensing the base material and CBD formulation in the manifold branch and nozzle mechanism, and further into the gummy mold; and extracting the gummy from the gummy mold.

The present invention provides the use of a composition obtainable from the pulp of a plant in the theobroma genus or an extract of said pulp, as an ingredient in a chocolate product.

A composition for human consumption that combines various ingredients that boost stem cell activity. Illustrative ingredients may for example include high cacao content chocolate, medicinal mushroom extracts, substances containing or promoting DHEA, pine bark extract to convert arginine from cacao into nitric oxide to improve circulation. DHEA boosting substances may include truffle powder and/or pine pollen. An illustrative composition may have about 75% chocolate by weight, with cacao content of 73% or more, at least 10% truffle powder or pine pollen, at least 10% medicinal mushroom extracts, the remainder pine bark extract. The composition may be formulated into sublingual tablets of about 1 gram, and daily consumption may for example consist of 5 tablets for 5 grams total. Includes a method of supporting cardiovascular health, improving sexual performance and sexual health, and improving athletic performance by administering a therapeutic amount of the compound to a subject.
