Provided is a strain of Pediococcus acidilactici , which is P. acidilactici TCI550 deposited under an accession number of DSM34536. Provided is a method for improving neurological health and/or cognition by using P. acidilactici and/or metabolites thereof, including administering to a subject in need thereof a composition including an effective dose of P. acidilactici and/or metabolites thereof, wherein the P. acidilactici is P. acidilactici TCI550 deposited under an accession number of DSM34536.

A method for improving skin condition, hair health, anti-inflammation activity, cardiovascular health, anti-oxidation activity, anti-aging activity, and/or relieving body fatigue in a subject in need thereof is provided. The method includes administering to the subject a composition comprising yeast powder having at least 5000 ppm of nicotinamide mononucleotide. The yeast powder is prepared by: preparing a first medium, a second medium and a third medium, wherein components of the first, second, and third media comprise nicotinamide, tryptophan, and niacin; inoculating the first medium with yeast for fermentation to obtain a first fermentation broth; inoculating the second medium with the first fermentation broth for fermentation to obtain a second fermentation broth; inoculating the third medium with the second fermentation broth for fermentation to obtain a third fermentation broth; and centrifuging the third fermentation broth to obtain a fermented product, and drying the fermented product to obtain the yeast powder.

Lactobacillus fermentum is provided, where the Lactobacillus fermentum is Lactobacillus fermentum TCI757 and the Lactobacillus fermentum TCI757 was deposited at Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen under the accession number DSM 33914. A method of using supernatant of the Lactobacillus fermentum TCI757 for reducing fat accumulation, promoting secretion of irisin, and gaining muscle for a subject in need is also provided.

A method for improving skin condition and basal metabolic rate is provided. The method for improving skin condition or basal metabolic rate includes administering to a subject in need thereof a composition including a Prunus lannesiana extract. The Prunus lannesiana extract is obtained by drying Prunus lannesiana and extracting the dried Prunus lannesiana with a solvent at a weight ratio of the solvent to the Prunus lannesiana of (20-40):1.
