Wellvita Ibecol 60 Capsules
Ibecol is infused with herbs traditionally used for relief from various digestive complaints like occasional constipation, digestive discomfort, gas and bloating.
CASCARA SAGRADA: Spanish for “sacred bark,” this has been used as a laxative by Native Americans for centuries. It works by stimulating and speeding up the large intestine’s wavelike contractions allowing for bowels to pass through more frequently which results in a softer and quicker bowel movement.
ALOE : Aloe is renowned for its remarkable colon cleansing benefits. An effective natural laxative and colon cleanser, it is believed to be one of the strongest of the colon stimulating herbs. It acts as a gentle laxative by loosening stool and increasing bowel movements.
GINGER: Chinese herbalists have been using Ginger for more than 2 500 years. It is helpful for a wide variety of gastrointestinal ailments ranging from simple indigestion to severe nausea and cramps. Ginger is an anti-emetic and anti-spasmodic that also helps with gastro paresis (a condition where food remains in the stomach for an abnormal time, resulting in constipation).
FENNEL: A native Mediterranean herb, beneficial for various digestive problems including intestinal gas, bloating and heartburn. Fennel has anti-spasmodic properties, and is a carminative – an agent that prevents the formation and helps the expulsion of gas in the gastrointestinal tract. It also stimulates the production of gastric juices. It aids dyspepsia and flatulence.
LIQUORICE ROOT:It is a traditional herb, used by Native Americans for more than 1000 years to help abdominal pain, bloating and flatulence.
