Properties

Dietary supplement, sorbent. A complex of natural apple pectin, inulin and fennel extract.

The product used may not contain all the components listed below.

Pectin is a natural sorbent that eliminates the cause and symptoms of intoxication.

It removes harmful substances from the body: toxins, allergens, drug breakdown products, bile acids, histamine, bilirubin, heavy metals.

It binds and removes heavy metal ions.

Pectin eliminates the cause of diarrhea by blocking the adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms to the intestinal wall, binding and removing microorganisms and the toxins they release, and normalizing intestinal function and stool.

Pectin removes allergens and accelerates the disappearance of allergy symptoms.

The adsorption area of pectin is tens of times greater than that of activated charcoal, and it removes heavy metals 6-10 times better than other sorbents.

Pectin gives the drink a natural apple flavor.

Inulin is a prebiotic that normalizes the intestinal microflora and promotes the restoration of the body’s own beneficial intestinal microflora.

Inulin is a nutrient medium for beneficial bifido- and lactobacilli that colonize the lower intestines.

Bacteria that are not "friendly" to the body cannot feed on inulin.

It suppresses the growth of harmful microorganisms.

Inulin has an enveloping effect, protecting the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines from mechanical irritation by food.

Chitosan is a natural aminopolysaccharide that binds and removes fats from the body that come with food, helps normalize metabolism, and reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Fennel extract is a mild natural antispasmodic.

It has carminative properties and improves intestinal motility.

Due to its properties, it reduces discomfort, bloating and other unpleasant sensations in the child’s abdomen.

Scope of Application

As a dietary supplement – an additional source of pectin and inulin: for body cleansing and prevention of intoxication; in case of poisoning and intestinal infections; in case of allergic reactions (to remove allergens); in case of intestinal disorders; in case of dysbiosis; in case of disorders of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
