Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action

Acacia: Increases the levels of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli (lactic acid-producing bacteria) in the gut after 4 weeks of use.

Chicory: Contains inulin, useful for digestive disorders. It acts as an appetite stimulant and promotes bile production. It also has a mild laxative effect.

Spirulina: Contains 65% protein, high concentrations of B vitamins, phenylalanine, iron, and other minerals. It improves digestion by enhancing enzyme synthesis and provides 1.5-2 mg of absorbable iron per 10 mg dose.

Nasturtium, Ginger, and Fenugreek: These plants are commonly used to treat indigestion and loss of appetite.

Turmeric: Used for digestive complaints and appetite loss. The active ingredient, curcumin, is anti-inflammatory and promotes bile production, especially via its ferulic acid content.

Vitamin C: Known as an antioxidant and immune system booster.

Vitamin B12: Essential for nucleoprotein synthesis, myelin formation, cell proliferation, normal growth, and hematopoiesis.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

This product is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
