Description

GELSECTAN® IBS

Gelsectan reduces diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal tension, swelling, and gas by restoring normal bowel function. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea, as well as symptoms caused by intestinal hypersensitivity or medicine. Gelsectan protects the mucosa of the intestine and boosts the number of healthy bifidobacteria in the gut.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent chronic abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. It affects daily activity and work productivity, and is linked to a significant healthcare economic burden, as well as a poor quality of life and psycho-affective profile.

For chronic and recurrent diarrhea and abdominal pain

Recommended Intake

Take 1-2 capsules twice a day (in the morning before breakfast and in the evening before supper) for 2-4 weeks, depending on the severity of the symptoms. The treatment can be administered as a maintenance treatment if necessary.

Liquid should be used to swallow the capsule.

GELSECTAN® contains pea protein and tannins (PPT) from grape seed extract, and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), which contains XG, pea protein and tannins (PPT) from grape seed extract, and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), and is capable of restoring intestinal permeability and improving gastrointestinal symptoms.

GELSECTAN® (xyloglucan, pea protein and tannins, xylo-oligosaccharides) is a medical device that has both protective and prebiotic effects on the intestinal mucosa, restoring intestinal permeability and improving gastrointestinal symptoms in adult patients with irritable bowel syndrome by controlling diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and bloating.

IBS affects about 4% of the global population 3 and is significantly more prevalent in women than in men. The pathophysiology of IBS includes genetic vulnerability, gastrointestinal motility, visceral hypersensitivity, increased intestinal permeability, immune system, low-grade inflammation, alterations in the intestinal microbiota, and food sensitivity.
