Publication number: 20060222714Abstract: A novel agent for preventing and healing constipation which heals the symptom of constipation very effectively and entails absolutely no side effect is provided. This agent for preventing and healing constipation is formed by containing a hydrogen of a polyvalent metal salt of alginic acid possessing a spherical or ovaloid shape having a short diameter in the range of 1-10 mm and an aspect ratio (long diemter/short diameter) in the range of 1-25. The hydrogel of a polyvalent metal salt of alginic acid is obtained by dropping an aqueous solution of sodium alginate into an aqueous solution of a polyvlant metal salt. It is optionally stored in water and/or a hydrogen compound of a natural compound possessing a free acid group capable of reacting and sequestering a basic compound.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2004Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventor: Juuro Aoyagi
