You're reading an Auto-translation.

Action:
Smectite, due to its laminar structure and high viscosity, has a high covering power of the intestinal mucosa. It increases the resistance of the mucus barrier by increasing the quality and quantity of mucus on the surface of enterocytes (active mucoprotection). It fixes digestive gases. It reduces intestinal hypersensitivity, restores the functional integrity of erythrocytes. It normalizes intestinal transit without interfering with peristalsis and without modifying the volume of stools.
