Abstract: The present disclosure provides an amino acid-cobalt complex, where the amino acid is glutamic acid or aspartic acid. The present disclosure further provides a use of the aforementioned amino acid-cobalt complex for preparing antibacterial or antiviral compositions; the use of the amino acid-cobalt complex of the present disclosure or the composition prepared therefrom can effectively inhibit the activity of various pathogenic bacteria or viruses. Furthermore, based on the characteristics of the single amino acid and its chelated metal ion, it enhances safety during individual use while providing effective antibacterial or antiviral activity.

Abstract: A cobalt-containing acidic amino acid complex and its use for treating cancer. In some embodiments, the cobalt-containing complex is represented by Formula I or II.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for improving sarcopenia of a subject in need thereof by using Phellinus linteus, in which the method includes administering an effective dose of composition to the subject, and the composition includes Phellinus linteus (NITE BP-03321 and BCRC 930210) as an effective substance. By using the aforementioned composition including an extract of a fermented product of the Phellinus linteus and/or its derivative, diameters of myotubes, amounts of muscles and muscle muscular endurance can be maintained, thereby improving sarcopenia.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel use of Morchella active substance. The Morchella active substance is for manufacturing a composition for ameliorating Sarcopenia. The preparation method of the Morchella active substance comprises the following steps: (a) culturing Morchella mycelium in a plate media between 15° C. and 30° C. for 1 to 2 weeks; (b) inoculating the Morchella mycelium cultured in step (a) to a flask and culturing the Morchella mycelium between 15° C. and 30° C. with a pH of 2 to 6 for 4 to 7 days; and (c) inoculating the Morchella mycelium cultured in step (b) to a fermentation tank and culturing the Morchella mycelium between 15° C. and 30° C. with a pH of 2 to 6 for 6 to 10 days, so as to obtain a Morchella mycelium fermentation broth containing the Morchella active substance.
