- C. ammonia, and
- D. an agent to improve porosity and texture.
A gastrointestinal decontaminant product produced by the steps of:
- (a) combining a plurality of ingredients comprising:
- (i) one or more sweeting agents comprising:
- (N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-α-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester);
- (ii) activated charcoal;
