Dietary supplements prepared with water shield (Brasenia schreberi) extract and sake cake dry powder at 150 mg/day and 950 mg/day, respectively, were administered for 2 weeks to 26 healthy adult females. The supplements markedly increased the number of days with defecation and defecation frequency, when compared to a placebo group. Furthermore, the dietary supplement intakes seemed to improve fecal strength, shape and odor, and sense of incomplete evacuation of subjects.
