The present invention relates to an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or anti-aging composition containing any one or more of a Taxus cambium- or procambium-derived cell line, an extract thereof, a lysate thereof and a culture medium thereof. The composition according to the present invention has minimized side effects compared to existing antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, is involved in intracellular metabolism to reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species, and reduces and induces aging-related signals. Thus, the composition of the preset invention is useful for preventing and delaying aging. In addition, the composition of the present invention has the effect of inhibiting melanogenesis, and thus is useful as a whitening cosmetic composition.

Provided are: a method of producing a therapeutic agent for skin lesions suitable for treatment or prevention of a skin lesion such as a bedsore; and a therapeutic agent for skin lesions produced by the production method. The method of producing a therapeutic agent for skin lesions characterized by including a mixing step of mixing earthworm castings with water and a collecting step of collecting vaporized water generated from a mixture obtained in the mixing step to obtain a liquid; and the therapeutic agent for skin lesions produced by the production method. It is preferred to further mix an organic substance together with the earthworm castings and the water in the mixing step.

A nutritional supplement includes one or more immune modulators that support a subject's cellular immunity, as well as ingredients that enhance the production and use of nitric oxide by the subject's body to better regulate the subject's cellular immunity. Such a nutritional supplement may include nano-fraction immune modulators, transfer factor, or plant transfer factor, as well as sufficient amounts of vitamin B9 and vitamin B12 to increase endothelial nitric oxide synthetase activity in a body of a subject. Methods for increasing endothelial nitric oxide synthetase activity in the body of a subject are also disclosed.
