A cannabis composition in pellet form, a method of preparing a cannabis composition in pellet form, a method of separating a plant resin from a harvested plant material, a method of treatment with a cannabis composition in pellet form, and a kit including a cannabis composition in pellet form are provided. The cannabis composition in pellet form may include a cannabinoid resin. The cannabinoid resin may include one or more of: a tetrahydrocannabinol extract and a cannabidiol extract.

Provided are a cannabis composition in pellet form, a method of preparing a cannabis composition in pellet form, a method of separating a plant resin from a harvested plant material, a method of treatment with a cannabis composition in pellet form, and a kit including a cannabis composition in pellet form. For example, the cannabis composition in pellet form may include a cannabinoid resin. The cannabinoid resin may include one or more of: a tetrahydrocannabinol extract and a cannabidiol extract.

The present invention is directed to methods and compositions that are useful in producing, feeding and growing animals. Compositions of the present invention comprise an extracted mineral element composition as disclosed herein. Animal lifespan and production is improved when provided with compositions comprising an extracted mineral element composition.

Oil is extracted from processed hemp which is better suited for transportation than whole hemp stalks particularly when oil extraction and initial processing of the hemp from the whole hemp stalks is performed at separate facilities. For example, the processed hemp may be characterized in that it was pelletized as part of its processing from the whole hemp stalks. Used processed hemp lacking/deprived of oil that is generated from the step of extracting the cannabinoid oil may be reused in a vendible product, for example where the lack of oil does not alter performance of the hemp in use of that vendible product.

An object of the present invention is to provide a tryptanthrin-containing indigo-plant leaf extract particularly suitable for application to the skin. The present invention provides a method for producing a tryptanthrin-containing indigo-plant leaf extract, the method comprising filtering a mixture of a concentrated ethanol extract of indigo-plant leaves and a polyhydric alcohol, and collecting the filtrate. The present invention further provides an indigo-plant leaf extract produced by this method.

Provided is a fermented food extract that has a blood pressure-lowering action and is useful as a functional health food or pharmaceutical composition. This fermented food extract is obtained by: subjecting a fermented food, preferably a fermented fagopyrum esculentum lyophilisate, to acetone extraction; eluting the fermented fagopyrum esculentum acetone extract using a solid phase extract cartridge filled with a resin to which a phenyl group is bonded, with formic acid-containing water used as an eluent; and fractionating and purifying the eluate using a column (PFP column) filled with a carrier to which a pentafluorophenyl group is bonded, with formic acid/methanol-containing water used as a mobile phase. This functional health food or pharmaceutical composition contains said extract or at least a part thereof as an active ingredient.

Compounds having unique properties are prepared from the herbal compositions described herein and comprise extracts derived from plants and fungi of the genera Panax, Ganoderma, and Saussurea. The compositions are useful in preventing, treating, relieving, and improving the quality-of-life of patients suffering from chronic diseases, such as liver diseases, cancer, cachexia, and immune system disorders.

The present invention refers to a novel in vitro method for detecting anti-senescence or pro-senescence activity of a compound, and to compounds with anti-senescence activity detected by said method, in particular to Salvia Haenkei extracts, and to compositions comprising said extracts.

The present invention relates to a method for protecting a kidney, which comprises administering an extracellular polysaccharide produced by Ceriporia lacerata; a mycelial culture medium of Ceriporia lacerata containing the extracellular polysaccharide; dried powders of the mycelial culture medium; or an extract of the mycelial culture medium, in an effective amount, to a subject in need of protecting a kidney. The method is effective in protecting a kidney from renal toxicity caused by an anti-cancer agent.

Methods of extraction of one or more polyphenolic compounds from pomace are described. The invention also provides uses of the extracts in the fortification of fruit juice, vegetable juice and foods, and as an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory and an antifungal.
