Abstract
The present invention provides a pharmacological composition as a composition as a raw material capable of preventing or treating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis, constipation, allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, and so on, and which has little side effect and thereby safe, high water dispersibility, and can be ingested easily. A yeast cell wall fraction, which comprises yeast extracts residue and being superior in water dispersibility and swelling properties, is used as an active constituent. As a yeast cell wall fraction, a yeast cell wall fraction obtained with a simple operation of water cleansing of yeast cell after alkali processing yields superior effects for preventing or treating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis, constipation, allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, and so on, as well as such yeast cell wall fraction without foreign taste and odor characteristic to autolysis and suitable for ingestion.
