The present technology generally relates to compositions comprising at least one purified cannabinoid or a derivative thereof, and at least one functional fragrance. The present technology also generally relates to methods of using the compositions for, inter alia, improving sleep, for treating insomnia and/or related sleep disorders.

A composition for strengthening skin barrier or improving skin barrier function is able to improve objective indicators related to the protection of skin barrier, the strengthening of skin barrier, and/or the improvement of skin barrier function. The composition exhibits the effects of increasing the amount of ceramides, dihydroceramides and sphingoid bases, increasing the activities of enzymes that are involved in the synthesis thereof, and decreasing the activities of enzymes that are involved in the degradation thereof. In addition, the composition is able to restore skin barrier function by reducing TSLP, IL-4, and IL-13 which are closely associated with skin barrier damage, and thus interrupting a vicious circle in which the lipids and proteins contributing to skin barrier decrease.

Therapeutic compositions for addressing physiological stresses and aging include an immune modulator and one or more adaptogenic nutrients. Some non-limiting examples of immune modulators include as transfer factor, low molecular weight fraction immune modulators and/or other low molecular weight fractions of colostrum, egg or any other source of transfer factor or low molecular weight fraction immune modulators. Methods for administering immune modulators and adaptogenic nutrients to a subject to address the effects of physiological stresses and aging in the body of the subject, such as inflammatory responses, are also disclosed.

A method for treating the gastro-intestinal or a urogenital system of a subject with prebiotic nutrients and probiotic bacteria is provided. Multi-chamber products are described which include at least two chambers wherein probiotic bacteria or human microbiome transplants are contained in one or more inner chambers and wherein prebiotic nutrients are contained in an outer chamber, the outer chamber completely enclosing the inner chamber(s). One or both chambers may contain a pharmaceutically acceptable material that is solid outside the human body when in a dry environment, but that melts at internal body temperature. The products may be administered by oral, rectal, vaginal, or urethral routes.

Orally adhering lozenges comprising soluble dietary fiber are provided herein. The orally adhering lozenges provided herein may be in the form of tablet-type lozenges comprising compressed powders and/or granules in at least two layers. The orally adhering lozenges include at least 30% soluble dietary fiber. The orally adhering lozenges also include an adhesive component to adhere the lozenge inside the mouth. The orally adhering lozenges are also low in cariogenic sugar, non-resistant starch, and polyols.
