A drug delivery system is provided for transdermally administering a psychedelic active agent to a subject to provide continuous microdose plasma levels of the active agent or a metabolite thereof during an extended drug delivery time period. The transdermal drug delivery system comprises a drug reservoir that houses a formulation containing the active agent, a combination of a solubilizer-type permeation enhancer and a plasticizer-type permeation enhancer, and a pH stabilizing agent. The pH stabilizing agent brings the pH of the formulation, at the system-skin interface, and/or within the skin as the active agent is transported across the skin from the skin surface to the bloodstream, to within 25% of the pKa of the active agent. Formulations and methods of use are also provided.

A method for improving body shape and improving skin condition using a noni fruit ferment is provided, and the method includes: administrating a composition to a subject in need thereof. The composition includes an effective amount of noni fruit ferment. The noni fruit ferment is prepared by (a) mixing glucose and noni fruit with water for extraction, to obtain a noni fruit broth, and (b) fermenting the noni fruit broth with a plurality of bacteria strains. The bacteria strains include yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria. In step (b), the noni fruit broth and the bacteria strains are irradiated with a red light source with a wavelength of 620 nm to 750 nm. In addition, the noni fruit ferment also has at least one of the following functions: removing free radicals, improving defecation status, and improving gastrointestinal motility.

Provided is a variant strain of the genus Yarrowia. More specifically, provided are a variant strain of the genus Yarrowia, in which activity of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) or phospholipid methyltransferase is inactivated, and a method of increasing a fat in the strain, including culturing the strain, or a method of preparing a fat.

A hair growth composition comprising Betula Pubescens Flower Bud, Populus Nigra Leaf Bud, at least one human hair, and RNA. The hair growth composition may also comprise Castanea Vesca and phosphorus. An effective amount of the hair growth composition can be administered sublingually, topically, by thin film patch, in tablet form, or a combination thereof.
