PURPOSE:To provide the titled agent containing garlic extract component, effective to proliferate bifidus bacteria and other useful lactobacilli in the intestines of man and animal and useful as a medicine, health food, feed, etc. CONSTITUTION:The objective agent contains a garlic extract component (e.g. oxoamidine) as an active component. The usefulness of bifidus bacteria and other useful lactobacilli for man and animal is gradually getting to become clear. However, major part of the bacteria are anaerobic bacteria living in large intestine to which air is hardly transported from the mouth. Accordingly, the nutrients for the bacteria are also hardly transported to the living part and if any, the nutrients are consumed by a number of harmful bacteria. Accordingly, the part is not a desirable place for the growth of the bifidus bacteria and other useful lactobacilli. The garlic extract component selectively proliferates the useful bacterial while inhibiting the proliferation of the harmful bacteria in the intestines. The agent can be used not only as a medicine or feed but also as an additive of a culture process in the production of lactobacillus. |
