Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions for enhancing immune function that include ingredients from natural sources. It is further directed to methods of administering the compositions and kits containing the compositions. In a composition aspect, the composition is for regulating immune function. It consists essentially of: 2 weight percent to 95 weight percent Eleuthero; 2 weight percent to 95 weight percent Stephania; and, 2 weight percent to 95 weight percent Epimedium.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods for the administration of compositions related to improved physical performance and post-exertion recovery, as well as the administered compositions. It is more specifically directed to compositions containing a FV extract and methods for using such compositions that, among other things, improve lactic acid clearance, muscle reaction time, stamina, exertion recovery time and reduce fatigue. In an extract aspect, the Flammulina velutipes extract has the following characteristics: a moisture content ranging from 0 percent to 10 percent; a protein content ranging from 20 percent to 40 percent; a carbohydrate content ranging from 40 percent to 80 percent; an ash content ranging from 0 percent to 15 percent; and, a fat content ranging from 0 percent to 5 percent.
