This document provides methods and materials for reducing amyloid beta levels within a mammal (e.g. a mammal having Alzheimer's disease). For example, this document provides methods for using compositions containing a potato polysaccharide preparation to reduce one or more symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In some cases, a composition containing a potato polysaccharide preparation provided herein can be used to increase binding, sequestration, and/or degradation of CNS-derived amyloid beta polypeptides, thereby inhibiting the formation of neurofibrillary plaques.

The present invention provides a composition having functionality to enhance immunity. Differing from all commercial vitamin healthcare foods would cause some adverse effects due to excessive vitamin intake, the present invention proposes a Solanum nigrum-fermented product to be a novel composition having functionality to enhance immunity. Moreover, animal experimental results have proved that, this novel composition would not cause any adverse effects (such as poor appetite or liver damage) even if an adult excessively administer the novel composition. In addition, comparing with the commercial healthcare foods always being made to tablets, the Solanum nigrum-fermented product (i.e., the novel composition) can be processed to various forms, such as powder, tablet, capsule, and drink.

Engineered food to promote health and maintain homeostasis in a subject and methods of producing the food.
