Silicolgel For IBS and Gastrointestinal Disorders 200ml

What is Silicolgel?

Silicolgel contains silicic acid which is a compound of the mineral substance silicon and oxygen in a colloidal (highly dispersable) and hydrated form. 

How Does SIlicolgel Work?

Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances as well as pathogens. When the gastrointestinal tract is irritated with these substances it can result in symptoms related to but not limited to:

• heartburn
• reflux
• vomiting
• nausea
• abdominal pain
• bowel discomfort
• diarrhoea
• flatulence 
• IBS

When Silicolgel is taken, it forms a protective coating, soothing the lining of the stomach and intestines. Because of the binding properties of colloidal silicic acid, it physically adsorbs or binds most irritants and harmful or toxic substances, as well as pathogens. 

Silicic acid can also bind gases and reduce excess acidity, which can reduce flatulence.
