Composition:
1 sachet (5 g of granules) contains 3.25 g of eggplant seed scales.
Action:
The product increases the volume of stool, regulating the activity of the digestive tract during diarrhea or constipation. Included egg scales in the preparation absorb water in a volume corresponding to forty times the weight of the substance. The volume of soft stool is increased, and peristaltic movements are stimulated and the intestinal transit accelerated. The granulate absorbs water and increases its volume. A sticky substance is formed because the product is only partially dissolved. Below 10% of the sticky substance undergoes hydrolysis in the stomach; well-absorbed arabinose is well absorbed. The period of operation of the egg husk seed is 12-24 hin after single dose administration. In some cases, the maximum effect does not appear within 2-3 days. Flora colonizing a large human intestine breaks down the polysaccharides in the preparation.
