Wakodo Malt Extract Stick 9 g × 12 Packets [Class 3 OTC Drug]

Product Information

Wakodo Malt Extract Stick shows a mild and excellent effect when used for constipation, or a tendency toward it, such as when the stool is hard and bowel movements are difficult.

◎Mild effect
The gentle fermenting action of maltose enhances intestinal peristalsis (the movement that pushes the contents along) and promotes mild bowel movements.
◎Convenient stick pack: A change of environment can sometimes cause constipation, but this stick pack is convenient to carry and easy to use even when traveling or going out.
