Changes in the defecation frequency of the subjects in the randomized placebo-controlled crossover clinical study. Average increases in defecation frequency (times/week) during the LF+LB or placebo tablet ingestion period (with the standard error represented by vertical bars) are shown. Data are shown as mean frequency (times/week) for the first or second week of the tablet ingestion period with the standard error represented by vertical bars. *p<0.05, **p<0.05, ***p<0.001 (Dunnett’s test compared with the defecation frequency before ingestion period).
