An arteriosclerosis-preventing material, immune-activating material, vertebrate that has eaten these, and eggs of such vertebrate. Such materials are produced by inoculating koji mold on a pulse crop to effect koji preparation and adding water to a product of the koji preparation, thus hydrolyzing proteins and/or saccharides contained in the product of said koji preparation and by utilizing the activity common to lactic acid bacteria naturally contained in the starting materials and lactic acid bacteria that is added to the product of the koji preparation. An arteriosclerosis-preventing material possessing arteriosclerosis-preventing capability, an immune-activating material possessing immune-activating capability that are effective in maintaining the health of vertebrates, a vertebrate other than a human being that has been reared by adding these arteriosclerosis-preventing material and immune-activating material to feed, and the egg of such a vertebrate, are obtained. The necessary amount of arteriosclerosis-preventing material and immune-activating material that are the product of the present invention is added to, for instance, food products, fodder, feed, etc. and absorbed in vivo from the digestive tract of vertebrates to realize arteriosclerosis-preventing capability and immune-activating capability, thus safely preventing the onset of arteriosclerosis-related disease in such a vertebrate as well as improve immunity of the vertebrate, thus effectively accomplishing a maintenance and promotion of good health and a prevention of disease, etc.
