Combinations of cannabinoids, vitamins, trace elements, bioactive components, bioflavonoid polyphenols, proteolytic enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants which work independently and synergistically for the prevention, treatment, and inhibition of excess cytokines caused by the immune response to extreme viral and bacterial infections, including the inhibition of COVID-19, Rhinovirus and/or other virus spike proteins and mRNA vaccine spike proteins from attaching to body organ cells, penetrating cell membranes, and the replication of virus particles and spike proteins inside the cells. Inhibition of inflammation and prevention of long-term side effects, health issues (long-haulers), and disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, Rhinovirus, other viruses, bacteria, and mRNA vaccines are provided by the nutraceutical compositions. Specific combinations of these compounds work synergistically to increase the efficacy of the independent nutraceuticals in treatment.

The present invention has an object to provide a skin anti-aging agent, an agent for regulating expression of anti-aging related gene, and a cosmetic product comprising the anti-aging agent or the agent for regulating expression of anti-aging related gene which are very safe and can be used reliably for a long term. The skin anti-aging agent, the agent for regulating expression of anti-aging related gene, and the cosmetic product comprising the anti-aging agent or the agent for regulating expression of anti-aging related gene of the present invention comprise a special low molecular DNA and a soybean extract, preferably a soybean sprout extract, as active ingredients. These active ingredients have activating actions on the function of the dermal fibroblast and are hence expected to prevent or improve the skin aging such as the reduction of skin firmness and elasticity, wrinkles and sagging.

[Problem] To provide a novel medicine that is capable of promoting cholesterol metabolism to thereby treat, ameliorate or prevent various symptoms associated with increase in blood cholesterol level. [Solution] The present inventors newly found that arctigenin has an effect of promoting the conversion of cholesterol into bile acid. The present invention provides a bile acid synthesis promoter, a composition for promoting bile acid synthesis and a food composition for promoting bile acid synthesis each comprising arctigenin and/or arctiin as active ingredient(s).
