The invention relates to a bitter acids concentrate, method of obtaining the same and use thereof.

The present invention discloses a system and method for increasing the lifespan and quality of life of human beings and other mammals. This discloses methods for preparing and delivering various health and longevity compositions. The compositions of the present invention are selected and designed for the purpose of efficiently delivering health and longevity enhancing therapies through oral supplementation, misting, nasal spray, suppository, etc. An existing compound known to have capacity for life extending potential, rapamycin, is combined with a non-toxic therapeutic anabolic hormone, e.g., DHEA, and cannabidiol (CBD) to enable absorption and effect. These three compounds work together to dramatically improve both the quality of life in aging humans and other mammals as well as extending the life of humans potentially up to 120 healthy years. One preferred embodiment provides a method for continuous low dose supplementation, e.g., incorporated in or with a daily meal. This invention not only resolves the issue of anti-aging of higher life forms, without toxicity, but provides for an improved method for absorption.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing or treating wound. The composition according to the present disclosure contains, as an active ingredient, an indirubin derivative alone or one or more selected from a group consisting of an indirubin derivative, an Euodia sutchuenensis Dode extract, methyl vanillate, hesperidin and quercitrin, and thus can be used as a pharmaceutical composition capable of promoting wound healing and reducing scarring not only in a normal state but also in a diabetic state. Furthermore, since the composition exhibits excellent effects in healing diabetic wound as well as general wound, it can be usefully used as a pharmaceutical composition, cosmetic composition or food composition for alleviating, preventing or treating general wound or diabetic wound, or as a veterinary composition for treating diabetic wound.

A chew resistant dog toy securely contains and retains a replaceable lickable treat. The toy facilitates the predictable, gradual, and prolonged ingestion of the treat by an animal's licking of an available surface of the lickable treat. The dog toy has a chew resistant body (typically made of a tough polymer or a hard rubber material) and a channel having an elongated opening along a major surface of the toy. The channel is adapted to receive and securely hold and retain the treat. The treat may or may not contain one or more active ingredients that are useful for promoting a calming effect on the dog, including active agents (such as theanine, Relora, SAMe, GABA, ashwagandha, tryptophan, turmeric, Boswellia serrata, panax ginseng, Methylsulfonylmethane, 5-HTP, etc.), other botanicals that facilitate sleep and relaxation (such as Valerian root, Chamomile, Lemon balm, Passion flower, Kavakava, Tulsi-Holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum)) and cannabinoids (such as CBD, CBN, etc.).

Mycotoxin-deactivating aptamers, especially DNA aptamers, bind to mycotoxins in feed and feed ingredients resulting in the reduction or elimination of toxic and carcinogenic effects of mycotoxins. The invention also discloses a composition comprising a mycotoxin-deactivating aptamer, a binding agent, a biotransforming agent and an antioxidant for detoxifying mycotoxins in feeds. In addition, the invention teaches the methods of preparing the mycotoxin-deactivating aptamer-based composition and also the methods of using it as a feed additive. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the mycotoxin-deactivator/s alone, or in a composition comprising the aptamers and other mycotoxin-detoxifying agents, in feeds and feed ingredients for detoxifying the major mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisins and ochratoxin A.

Methods of and compositions for producing and using plant-based materials are provided. The methods include using biopolymers or their synthetic equivalents combined with a stable source of reactive oxygen species that when applied to or combined with a separate source of oxido-reducing enzyme or catalyst will cause the formation of an activated biopolymer with increased protein binding affinity and microbial control activities.
