Toloese, a bed composition, is formulated with a combination of minerals of various wavelengths by utilizing a specific ratio and particle size. A maturation mixing technique is used without additional compression processes, resulting in the natural formation of numerous fine pores in the bed structure. At 40 °C, far infrared radiation in the range of 5-20 μm is emitted with a 0.

- SH and UA are marine waste resources affecting Jeju Island's environment and economy; their anti-diabetic properties were analyzed for potential reuse as health additives.
- Both extracts showed alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with UA being more effective than SH, particularly in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells, improving glucose uptake and glycogen levels.
- In a rat study, oral administration of SH and UA improved weight gain and alleviated insulin resistance and oral glucose tolerance, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents to combat diabetes.
Article Synopsis
- Most vitamin D is synthesized in the skin from sunlight, with a small percentage obtained from food; it's crucial for bone health and immune function.
- The study analyzed maternal vitamin D levels during pregnancy and their effects on fetal growth, finding that while hematologic and serological impacts were minimal, vitamin D levels were linked to increased femur and humerus lengths in the fetus.
- The research suggests maternal vitamin D may help reduce rates of sexually transmitted infections and is important for fetal bone development, highlighting the need for vitamin D sufficiency through diet or sunlight exposure.
In this study, the safety and functionality of using citrus juice processing waste (CJPW) was confirmed. Large quantities of CJPW are generated on Jeju Island and cause environmental problems. CJPW extract (2,000 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically to male and female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats for 14 days and the rats were analyzed.

This study investigated the safety and functionality of a functional additive for humans and animals from (SH) and (UA) waste for recycling marine refuse generated in large quantities in Jeju. Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered functional additives at 2,000 mg/kg to assess 14-day repeated dose toxicity of the two extracts. For female rats, weight gain after administration of SH was 66.

In this study, the protective effect of red pepper seed water extract (RPS) against the obesity in high fat diet (HFD)-fed mice was investigated (HFD control group, and HFD group treated with 100 or 200 mg/kg body weight of RPS for 13 weeks). The application of RPS partially reversed the HFD-induced increases in body weight and adipose tissue weight. The patterns of the adipose tissue weights were parallel to the patterns of fat area, as measured in DXA procedure.
