There is disclosed a clear skin supplement/medicinal component for acne comprising: an orally administered dosage comprising of between about 3000-9000 mg of the Chinese medicinal composition comprising by ratio: around 3.8-7.6% of each of Prunus persica, Carthamus tinctorius, Angelica dahurica, Gleditsia sinensis, Viola yedoensis, Paeonia suffruticosa and gardenia jasminoides; around 5.7-7.6% of each of Oldenlandia diffusa and Scutellaria baicalensis; around 3.8-5.7% of Salvia miltiorrhiza; around 2.5-5.7% of Phellodendron amurense; around 2.5-7.6% of Gentiana scabra; and around 0-7.6% of each of Taraxacum mongolicum and any one of Lonicera japonica/Rhizoma Coptidas/Sophora flavescens.

The present invention provides novel compositions for suppressing or improving hair loss, and compositions for suppressing or improving graying. More specifically, it provides agents that stabilize type XVII collagen expression, preferably agents that suppress the degradation of type XVII collagen by ELANE inhibitors and such, and compositions comprising a DNA repair-promoting agent or a DNA damage-suppressing agent as an active ingredient. Advantageous suppressive effects of hair loss and graying can be obtained when a composition comprising as an active ingredient a suppressive agent of type XVII collagen degradation such as an ELANE inhibitor is administered to a mammal. For the ELANE inhibitors, suppressive agents of type XVII collagen degradation and DNA repair-promoting agents, low-molecular compounds, polypeptides, proteins, antibodies, or nucleic acid medicine such as antisense oligos or siRNAs may be used. A method of screening for effective substances for suppression of hair loss and graying is also provided.

The present invention relates to a liquid food composition comprising a Sophora japonica and a broad-leaf bamboo extract, and more particularly, to a liquid food composition including a Sophora japonica extract, a broad-leaf bamboo extract, and xanthan gum. The liquid food composition includes a high content of the Sophora japonica extract while simultaneously ensuring the liquid properties, and thus can be used widely in the field of foods because the liquid food composition is applicable to liquid formulations.
