Dietary supplement for supporting the function of the digestive system
Properties
The Phytomucil® Norm Plus dietary supplement is a natural complex of two types of soluble prebiotic fiber (Fibersol® and Psyllium) for restoring regular stool and improving microbiota.
Fibersol® is a fiber of natural origin (soluble prebiotic fibers) that is not digested in the human gastrointestinal tract but is fermented by the gut microbiota, thereby nourishing it. The fermentation products of the Fibersol® component, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), stimulate intestinal peristalsis and also support the health of the intestinal villi, thus improving digestion.
Clinical studies of the Fibersol® component have shown that it contributes to:
- Maintaining regular bowel function;
- Eliminating functional constipation;
- Supporting gut health;
- Improving stool consistency.
Psyllium is the husk of seeds from a special variety of plantain, which consists of soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. A distinctive feature of psyllium is that it consists almost entirely of fiber (70% of which is soluble), which turns into a gel upon contact with water. Soluble psyllium fibers in the intestine absorb water, swell, turn into a mucous gel, and soften the stool, which facilitates its easy excretion. Insoluble fibers mechanically stimulate the intestinal walls, activating its movements and the excretion of waste.
Thus, the Phytomucil® Norm Plus complex simultaneously acts on both the intestinal contents and its mucous membrane, relieving constipation, bloating, and a feeling of heaviness. In addition to the laxative effect, Phytomucil® Norm Plus works as a prebiotic – it creates favorable conditions for the growth of the body’s own beneficial gut microflora, which helps eliminate dysbiosis, reduce bloating, and improve digestion.
The Phytomucil® Norm Plus complex does not contain senna, so its cleansing effect is not accompanied by pain and sudden urges. Regular bowel function is restored naturally.
The unique combination of Psyllium and Fibersol® components contributes to
- Gentle and comfortable bowel evacuation;
- Restoration of regular stool;
- Growth of beneficial gut microbiota;
- Improved digestion.
Most symptomatic remedies solve the problem for one day without eliminating the cause of constipation. They irritate the intestinal mucosa, so such remedies can only be used occasionally. Long-term use of stimulant laxatives can lead to habituation or the occurrence of side effects. The Phytomucil® Norm Plus complex is free from such drawbacks.
Use of the complex is safe
- Does not irritate the intestinal mucosa;
- Does not cause habituation;
- Can be used for diabetes, during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Does not contain senna, gluten, artificial additives, or GMOs.
