Provided is a prebiotic composition, including a kiwifruit fermented product, inulin, and fructooligosaccharide, where the weight ratio of the kiwifruit fermented product, the inulin, and the fructooligosaccharide is 3-4:2.5-4:2.5-4. A method for improving intestinal health of a subject in need thereof by using the prebiotic composition is also provided.

Prebiotic composition and method for improving intestinal health using the same

Methods for promoting intestinal health of a subject in need thereof and for enhancing antioxidation in a subject in a subject in need thereof are provided. The methods include administering to the subject a prebiotic composition, which includes grape ferment, lactitol, and fructooligosaccharide. The weight ratio of the grape ferment, the lactitol, and the fructooligosaccharide falls within the range of 1-2:1-2:1-2. The grape ferment is obtained by fermenting grape extract withand

Methods for promoting intestinal health and for enhancing antioxidation using prebiotic composition

Provided isTCI727, deposited in the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) with a deposit number of DSM 33756. A method for improving calcium absorption of a subject in need thereof by using theTCI727 or metabolites thereof is also provided. The method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition comprising theTCI727 or the metabolites thereof.

TCI727 and method for promoting calcium absorption by usingTCI727/or its metabolites

Prebiotic composition including grape ferment, a first component, and a second component is provided. The first component is lactitol or xylooligosaccharide, and the second component is fructooligosaccharide, xylooligosaccharide, or inulin. The first component is different from the second component, and a weight ratio of the grape ferment, the first component and the second component falls within the range of 1-2:1-2:1-2. Based on this, the prebiotic composition prepared by grape ferment can be used to promote intestinal health of a subject in need thereof and enhance antioxidation in the subject.

Provided is a method of promoting the growth of, including contactingwith an effective amount of a prebiotic composition including aferment. Also provided is a prebiotic composition including aferment. The prebiotic composition promotes the growth ofin the intestine, and reduces the body weight, fat percentage, waist circumference, and hip circumference of obese individuals.

Method for promoting growth ofusingferments

Provided is a method of improving urogenital health, including administering to a subject a composition including an effective amount of astrain deposited under the accession number of DSM 33288 or a metabolite thereof. Thestrain, which is a probiotic, and metabolites thereof inhibit the growth of common pathogenic bacteria and fungi causing genitourinary tract infections, thereby reducing the risk of genitourinary tract infections or alleviating symptoms thereof. Also provided is a composition for improving urogenital health which includes thestrain.

Method of improving urogenital health using probiotic bacteria

Dow02-2 is provided, wherein theDow02-2 was deposited at German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen, DSMZ) under the accession number DSM33380, and its metabolites comprise 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid. A method for providing 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid is also provided, wherein the method comprises isolating the 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid from metabolites ofDow02-2 of biologically pure culture. A method for at least one of increasing expression of TGM1 gene, increasing expression of KRT1 gene, increasing expression of KRT10 gene, increasing expression of KRT14 gene, increasing expression of FLG gene, increasing expression of GBA gene, and increasing expression of HAS3 gene is also provided, wherein the method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid.

Alteromonas macleodii Dow02-2 and its metabolites for improving skin moisturization

TCI378 is provided. TheTCI378 was deposited at German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen, DSMZ) under the accession number DSM 32451. A method for losing fat and/or improving gastrointestinal functions is also provided. The method comprises administering to a subject in need an effective amount of a composition, wherein the composition comprisesTCI378 and/or its metabolites.

TCI378 and its uses in losing fat and improving gastrointestinal functions

The present invention provides a method of reducing body fat, comprising administering a composition comprising an effective amount ofor a metabolite thereof to a subject in need thereof. Theor the metabolite thereof can effectively convert the fatty acid into conjugated linoleic acid, inhibit the accumulation of fat and promote the decomposition of fat in fat cells, and can effectively reduce the percentage of body fat, waist circumference, and hip circumference, and simultaneously increase the muscle mass of the subject.
