摘要

An edible composition having effects of promoting the production and release of a calcitonin gene-related peptide. Namely, an edible composition comprising isoflavone and capsaicin as the essential components and having effects of promoting the production and release of a calcitonin gene-related peptide; and an edible composition comprising the above-described edible composition for preventing and treating gastric mucosal injury, life style-related diseases, obesity, malignant tumor and osteoporosis, relieving rejection accompanying organ transplantation, preventing and relieving organ injury caused by vital invasion reactions against invasive factors such as infection, and stimulating hair (for example, head hair) growth.
