2'-Fucosyllactose is produced by microbial fermentation of transgenic Escherichia coli strains. It is a human milk sugar oligosaccharide used in infant nutrition.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment found mostly in animal organisms, but also occurring in plants. It is thought to be the precursor of astacin. It is a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant. It has broad application prospects in health products, medicine, cosmetics, food additives and aquaculture. Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant with the strongest antioxidant and anti-aging ability in nature, and its antioxidant capacity is much higher than VE and β-carotene. It significantly enhances mitochondrial activity required for cell recombination and effectively protects the skin from UVA, UVB and blue light damage.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil. It acts as a precursor to prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. EPA decreases serum lipid concentration, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disorders and suppresses platelet aggregation.

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood.

Coenzyme A is an essential metabolic cofactor synthesized from cysteine, pantothenate, and ATP. Coenzyme A plays important roles in many metabolic pathways, including the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids. About 4% of cellular enzymes utilize CoA as a substrate.

Calcifediol is a major circulating metabolite of vitamin D3 and acts as a competitive inhibitor with an apparent Ki of 3.9 μM. It also suppresses PTH secretion and mRNA (ED50=2 nM).

Vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble vitamin that occurs widely in green plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria. Vitamin K1 serves as a precursor to vitamin K2 and is essential for the synthesis of proteins required for blood-clotting, bone metabolism, and cell growth. It is commonly used in dietary supplement for the treatment of bleeding disorders.

DL-Cystine is a non-essential amino acid used as a nutritional and dietary supplement.

Soya Lecithin has emulsifying and lubricating properties and can be used as a surfactant. It is an antioxidant with free radical scavenging properties. Soya Lecithin has strong surface activity and colloidal properties, and plays an important role in cell metabolism and cell membrane permeability regulation. Soya Lecithin has good moisture and permeability to human skin, with antioxidant, antistatic, emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, penetrating, moisturizing, conditioning, softening, moisturizing and hair-softening functions.

Cholecalciferol is a naturally occurring form of vitamin D which is obtained from dietary sources, such as fish, or through the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol by ultraviolet light. It is subsequently metabolized to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and the active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 by cytochrome P450 isoforms in the liver. It could prevent proliferation of cancer cells.

Shinorine, a mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) and an analog of porphyra-344, is a small molecule sunscreen produced by some bacteria with antioxidant, anti-UV, and sun protection properties. Shinorine ameliorates chromium-induced toxicity in zebrafish hepatocytes through facultatively activating the Nrf2-Keap1-ARE pathway. Both porphyrin-334 and Shinorine antioxidants and direct antagonists of Keap1-Nrf2 binding. Shinorine may be an effective drug to prevent or delay the progression of a variety of degenerative aging diseases.

The disodium salt form of Pyrroloquinoline quinone which is a cofactor related to the enzyme-catalyzed redox reactions glucose and methanol dehydrogenase. Pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt is isolated from cultures of methylotropic bacteria and tissues of mammals.

β-Carotene is an organic compound and classified as a terpenoid. It is a precursor (inactive form) of vitamin A. β-carotene is widely used in the food industry, feed industry, medicine and cosmetics industry. β-carotene is an important part of the non-enzymatic defense mechanism against free radicals, which can effectively slow down aging while protecting against UV damage. In addition, it can whiten spots and have blue light protection effect. It can be widely used in anti-aging, wrinkle removal, firming and tender skin, whitening, light spot, sun protection, anti-blue light and other products, and it is compatible with lotion cream formula, gel formula and water formula.

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone, ubidecarenone, coenzyme Q) is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration. Coenzyme Q10 is widely found in the mitochondria of the whole body. It has a stronger antioxidant function than vitamin C and vitamin E, can effectively remove free radicals, and has good anti-aging, whitening, and moisturizing functions. It can be widely used in anti-aging and wrinkle-removing, whitening and lightening spots, moisturizing and moisturizing, firming and tenderizing skin, sunscreen repair products, and it is compatible with lotion cream formula, gel formula, and water formula.

Glutathione (GSH) is an endogenous antioxidant that plays a major role in reducing reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and the respiratory burst. Glutathione may decrease the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-18), and neutrophils in lung tissue, increase the level of serum Ca2+, and be useful for the treatment of ANP. Glutathione can be used not only as medicine but also as a base material for functional foods. It is widely used in functional foods for delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor. Glutathione is the main ingredient in ''whitening needle'' injections, and it is also the main ingredient in many beauty products on the market.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil and a major component of excitable membranes of the retina and brain. It decreases the level of blood triglycerides and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disorders.

Folic acid is a vitamin needed to synthesize DNA, conduct DNA repair and methylate DNA, and it also acts as a cofactor in biological reactions involving folate. The combined use of enalapril and folic acid, compared with enalapril alone, significantly reduced the risk of first stroke. High folic acid intakes and MTHFR gene variations seem not to be associated with helping women to achieve pregnancy during or after fertility treatment.

Menaquinone 7 is a form of vitamin K2, which includes nine related compounds. Menaquinone 7 is a long-chain menaquinone that is synthesized by Escherichia coli bacteria in the gut. It can be used as a supplement for bone health. Menaquinone 7 can be used as vitamin supplement in health care products.
