- Product Highlights
A diet rich in dietary fiber is essential for good health (>25g/day). However, some fibers, called insoluble fibers, have an irritating effect on the intestinal mucous membrane. This mechanical stimulation of the mucosa induces a secretion of mucus and water in the intestinal lumen, which can facilitate transit and relieve constipation2. However, in some individuals, this may cause diarrhea or aggravate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Our snail extract contains cellulose and hemicellulase. These enzymes, naturally present in snails, are able to degrade insoluble fibers and thus reduce the size of irritating particles. Indeed, the irritating effect of the particles decreases when their size is reduced. The plants extracts curcuma and fennel brings an anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic action on the digestive sphere and contribute to the appeasing of the abdominal pains.
Probiotics, Lactobacillus acidophilus, act on the balance of the intestinal flora by providing “good bacteria” and limiting the development of pathogenic bacteria.
