Mucofalk apple granulate bags, 100 pieces

Description

Mucofalk Apple Bag is a herbal product made from the seed pods of the plantain species Plantago ovata, also known as Indian psyllium.These seed shells have a high swelling power and are more effective than the seeds themselves. The swelling substances contained in the shells bind water in the stool pulp, which increases the stool volume and makes the stool softer and smoother.This makes bowel movements easier and promotes healthy intestinal flora, which is important for the immune system.The product is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 and over.

Areas of application

Mucofalk apple bag is used for long-term chronic constipation (constipation).It is also helpful in diseases in which easier bowel emptying with soft stools is desired, such as tears in the mucous membrane of the anus (anal fissures), hemorrhoids or after surgical procedures in the rectum area.It can also be used as a support for diarrhea of various causes and for diseases in which an increase in daily fiber intake is desired, such as irritable bowel syndrome.

Mode of action

The effect of Mucofalk apple bags is based on the seed shells of the Indian psyllium, which are rich in swelling and fiber.These can bind many times their own weight in fluid, making the stool more voluminous and softer.This promotes intestinal activity and makes elimination easier.In addition, the psyllium husks can bind dietary cholesterol and bile acids in the intestine, which leads to a natural reduction in total and LDL-cholesterol in the blood.
