An object of the present invention is to provide a fermented milk and polysaccharide capable of inhibiting cancerous cachexia. A fermented milk with cancerous cachexia inhibitory effect according to one aspect of the present invention contains Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus as an active ingredient. Also, polysaccharide with cancerous cachexia inhibitory effect according to another aspect of the present invention are produced from the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. It is preferable that the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus OLL1073R-1 (accession number: FERM BP-10741).

The present invention relates to an immuno-enhancing composition including a corn-derived polysaccharide. The immuno-enhancing composition may be a food composition, a feed composition, or a pharmaceutical composition.

The present disclosure generally provides pediatric nutritional compositions comprising a protein source comprising an intact milk protein and a partially hydrolyzed milk protein, wherein about 5% to about 25% of total nitrogen content of the composition is non-protein nitrogen. The pediatric nutritional compositions described herein also comprise a fat source and a carbohydrate source. The partially hydrolyzed protein source, in certain embodiments, provides peptides that have similar structure and function to the peptides found in human milk.
