Kombucha tea faces many challenges concerning its use for its health benefits, such as standardization, as well as the determination of a specific dosage form appropriate to the intended use. Kombucha tea, as a fermented, alcohol-containing beverage that relies on a complex combination of living yeast and bacteria for production, is especially difficult to administer. The present invention provides a consistent, standardized dosage form and novel combinations of a traditional medicinal drink that is otherwise unsuitable for widespread natural medicine. By providing kombucha as a soft, chewable and orally dissolvable and/or disintegrable compositions, such as a gummie, a gummie with probiotics, or a gummy made from tapioca syrup, a unique, desirable flavor and mouthfeel is obtained and which is also alcohol free. This expands the number of people who can enjoy the benefits of the traditional tea.

The present invention relates to a formulation providing anti-aging benefits that may include ingredients from various ingredient groups such as amino acids, vitamins or mineral co-factors, antioxidants or carotenoids, an herbal, plant derivative, or phytonutrients, and other nutrients. When combined, these ingredients and, more specifically, the herbal, plant derivative, or phytonutrients blend provide increased and unexpected synergistic effects that inhibit DPP4 activity and provide anti-aging benefits.

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.
