Additional information

The gastrointestinal tract has to deal with up to 14 liters of gas every day.However, if the rapid removal of the gases is disrupted or if too much gas is produced, the balance becomes unbalanced.Tough foam bubbles enclose the gas so tightly that it cannot escape.The gases build up and new ones are added as the digestion process progresses.The result: flatulence and a feeling of fullness and even colicky pain.

Flatulence can have various causes.These include, above all, swallowing air, hectic pace and stress, poor nutrition and lack of exercise.Espumisan pearls contain the active ingredient simeticone, which dissolves the many tough foam bubbles in the intestines.The foam breaks down, the gas escapes and can be broken down through natural pathways.
