The proper functioning of the digestive tract is necessary for the smooth functioning of the whole organism. With poor peristalsis and a tendency to constipation, soft laxatives should be used, which will not be addictive. Effective and safe is the drug Fitomucil Norm, which has earned the recognition of many experts. We will get acquainted with the composition, therapeutic effect and indications for the appointment of this tool.
Description of the drug
Even adherents of proper nutrition often experience malfunctions in the digestive tract. Discomfort and pain in the abdomen, delayed bowel movements, flatulence are the first signs of a pathological condition. If such symptoms occur only occasionally, experts recommend the use of laxatives. However, it should be borne in mind that some of them have a number of contraindications and are not always safe. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to drugs with the most natural composition. One of these tools is Phytomucil Norm.
Instructions for use attribute this laxative to dietary supplements. The composition contains exclusively natural substances that contribute to the normalization of the digestive system and the restoration of peristalsis. Recently, the supplement is often used not only according to indications, but also to get rid of extra pounds. The tool is developed by specialists and is sold under the brand name Pharmamed naturals.
What is included in the composition?
The manufacturer offers three varieties of the drug, which differ in the number of active ingredients in the composition. The additive is produced in the form of a powder and packaged in bags, which prevents overdose. For one dose, you need to use only 1 sachet of medicine. Also, the drug is released in jars of 250 mg.
Active organic components are psyllium husk and prune. Both substances have a positive effect on the digestive system. "Fitomucil Diet Formula" is one of the types of supplements. The composition contains 5 g of husk of seeds of medicinal plantain and 1 g of plum fruit. “Fitomucil Slim Smart” will help get rid of a few extra pounds and improve the intestines. The composition contains husks of plantain seeds and glucomannan. The last substance is obtained from the konja plant. This plant polysaccharide has the ability to absorb large amounts of liquid.
Additive "Fitomucil Norm", the composition of which is somewhat different from the previous types, is more suitable only for restoring peristalsis and functionality of the digestive tract. Plantain seed shells contain 4.5 g, and prunes - only 0.5 mg.
Dietary supplement action
The tool performs several tasks at once. Firstly, the shell of plantain seeds stimulates the production of bile, which is necessary for normal digestion, and cleanses the intestines from harmful substances and toxins. The husk gives a feeling of satiety, which is necessary when following a diet. Secondly, a laxative and rich in pectin plum also helps to eliminate toxic substances from the body, which are usually formed during the digestion of food.
The therapeutic effect of Phytomucil Norm begins to exert immediately after use. When combined with water, the powder forms a gel that must be drunk. When it enters the stomach, the product envelops the mucous membrane and causes a feeling of satiety.
In the digestive tract, the gel slightly increases in volume, but it is not digested. The mass, moving through the intestine, cleans its walls of food debris and harmful substances that it excretes. This allows you to run intestinal motility. In addition, the drug promotes the reproduction of beneficial microflora.
Indications for appointment
The dietary supplement “Phytomucil Norm” is recommended for use in patients with recurring and chronic constipation. Given that the drug not only eliminates problems with bowel movements, but also the pain associated with this phenomenon, it is possible to exclude the additional use of drugs for flatulence, cramping and bloating.
