Glutamine

Glutamine is a kind of amino acids and the most abundant amino acid found in the body. Especially, it is consumed much in the intestinal tract and is a source of energy for the intestinal tract.

Fiber (partially hydrolyzed guar gum)

Oligosaccharides (fructooligosaccharides)

Fructooligosaccharides are used as the oligosaccharides.
