Food supplement based on soluble fiber and vitamins with lactulose and plant extracts, useful as an adjuvant for the normal functions of the intestine.
It facilitates intestinal transit and selectively stimulates the probiotic bacterial flora by completing the action with the fluid extracts of aloe, elm and dandelion.
The product does not contain gluten.
With sweetener.
Lactulose is a disaccardide not absorbed from the upper part of the intestine.
It is degraded by colon bacteria with the production of substances especially organic acids (lactic acid, short-chain fatty acids) which favor the increase of osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen at the level of the colon.
There is a consequent recall of water so that the contents present in the intestine remain soft and its transit is favored until evacuation.
So the mechanism of lactulose consists in increasing the fecal mass, making it softer and stimulating peristalsis.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, have a selective stimulating action against probiotic bacteria.
In fact, the mechanism of action of FOS is to cross the stomach and the upper intestine unchanged, to reach the large intestine where they become nourishment for the development of the bacterial flora beneficial to the body, especially bifidobacteria.
They can also reduce fecal pH, toxic metabolites, cholesterol and triglycerides present in the serum.
Inulin is a soluble fiber found in some plants, such as dandelion.
Its usefulness as a probiotic has been highlighted, stimulating the growth in the intestine of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli useful for the normal functioning of the intestine, reducing instead that of Gram + and Cocci.
Aloe leaf extract contains polysaccharides, glucogalactomannan and acemannan and has always been used for its demulcent, emollient and immunostimulating properties.
Elm is also used as a demulcent in the gastrointestinal tract.
It calms irritation, colic and spasms and is helpful in almost all colon problems:
constipation, diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis.
It mainly contains mucilage and starch.
Dandelion is rich in sesquiterpenes, triterpenes and polysaccharides and is widely used for its choleretic, cholagogue and laxative properties.
For pregnant or lactating women and children it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Keep out of the reach of children under three years of age.
Supplements are not intended as a substitute for a varied diet.
The integration of the diet with fiber may be contraindicated in some pathological situations, such as in particular gastrointestinal diseases including suspected or present intestinal obstruction, abnormal narrowing of the gastro-enteric tract (occlusive and sub-occlusive syndromes).
Supplementing the diet with fiber can interfere with the absorption of some medications, so medical advice is needed.
