Abstract: The invention relates to methods for treating hair graying. More specifically, the present invention discloses new methods for reducing, stopping and/or reversing of hair graying in mammals by stimulating stem cell migration to produce or stimulate melanocytes in hair follicles. The invention further teaches a stem cell mobilizing composition for treating graying hair in a subject, comprising blue-green algae, which stimulates stem cell mobilization and growth of melanocytes in hair follicles.
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of using Polygonum multiflorum or extracts thereof to enhance stem cell mobilization in a subject, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and bone marrow stem cells (BM-SCs). In one embodiment, a blended composition of plant parts, fruits, mushrooms, microorganisms, maternal fluids, and extracts thereof are used to promote mobilization of stem cells, resulting in migration of the stem cells to specific sties of maintenance and repair within tissues and/or organs. Increased circulation of HSCs and/or BMSCs and migration towards sites of maintenance promotes the natural regeneration mechanisms in the body.
Abstract: Described herein are various natural ingredients for skin-related applications. Individual compounds provide beneficial effects for improved collagen production, fibroblast proliferation, antioxidant protection and free radical inhibition. Combinations of these individual compounds exhibit synergistic effects, leading to dramatic improvements in skin moisture levels, wrinkle reduction, and elasticity. Various examples of combined ingredients are provided, which can be applied in methods related to conditioning the skin, and in cosmetic formulations for improved aesthetic appearance.

Abstract: A method of using fucoidan to enhance stem cell mobilization in a subject, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) is provided. In the method, a blended composition of fruits, mushrooms, microorganisms, maternal fluids, and extracts thereof are used to promote trafficking of stem cells, resulting in migration of the stem cells to specific sties of maintenance an and repair within tissues and/or organs. The method also involves the use of fucoidan obtained from particular algae species to support release and circulation of HSCs, as demonstrated by significantly increase circulation of HSCs in the peripheral blood. Increased circulation of HSCs and/or BMSCs and migration towards sites of maintenance and the natural regeneration mechanisms in the body. Further provided is a dosing regimen for the administration of fucoidan and a method of enhancing release and circulation of stem cells.
