Aromatic farnesyl compound and application of a pharmaceutical salt thereof as an inhibitor of -glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase-4, aldose reductase, protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B or HMG-CoA reductase, or use thereof in preparing medicine and functional healthcare products having a liver protective function and/or for treating and/or preventing type II diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic foot disease, and hyperlipidemia.

The invention provides compositions for producing hydrogen rich water, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products. In one embodiment, the invention provides a composition, e.g., a tablet, including magnesium metal, at least one water-soluble acid, and a binding agent. The magnesium metal and at least one water-soluble acid may be present in amounts sufficient to maintain a pH of less than 7, e.g., at a specific time period after reaction, and a concentration of at least 0.5 mM H.sub.2 after reaction in 50 mL water in a container e.g., a sealed or an open container, e.g., at least 0.5 mM H.sub.2 after reaction in 100 mL water or at least 0.5 mM H.sub.2 after reaction in 500 mL water. The composition may also include a lubricant.

A method for producing powderized cannabis oil, and the resulting powderized cannabis oil, in which concentrated cannabis oil is mixed with and absorbed by a modified starch powder, preferably maltodextrin, in a ratio of at least three grams of starch powder for every one-eighth of a gram of cannabis oil is disclosed. Further disclosed are beverages, baked goods and single-serve beverage brewing cartridges utilizing or incorporating the powderized cannabis oil to create human-consumable products that contain an emulsified, tasteless, and odorless dose of cannabis oil.

A product having an internal substance protected by a rugged exterior shell is disclosed. The internal substance is reactive with the exterior shell but is separated therefrom by a coating on an interior surface of the external shell so that the product can be stored for a long period of time without the internal substance reacting with the exterior shell. The coating is meltable so that, when desired, the product may be heated (e.g. immersed in hot water or exposed to heat) in order to melt the coating so that the internal substance can react with the external shell so that the internal substance can excrete out of the exterior shell.
