Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Liquid coal is a complex containing natural apple pectin, taurine amino acid, inulin prebiotic and succinic acid. The powder, enclosed in 1 sachet, is dissolved in water before administration to obtain a solution having the consistency of a gel and gently enveloping the walls of the stomach and intestines, which completely eliminates the possible risk of mechanical injury. Due to the liquid form, the product, entering the stomach, immediately manifests its effect, unlike capsules and tablets, which must first dissolve in the contents of the stomach. The dietary supplement also helps to reduce dehydration that occurs during intoxication.

After dissolving in water, apple pectin forms a gel that can be figuratively represented as a sponge consisting of molecules. A pectin sponge, moving through the gastrointestinal tract, absorbs toxins, allergens, decay products of drugs and other xenobiotics (chemicals foreign to the body), as well as histamine, bile acids, bilirubin and other toxic metabolic products, thereby preventing their absorption into the blood … Since pectin hardly breaks down in the stomach and is not absorbed in the intestines, the products captured by the pectin sponge are eliminated from the body.

Also, thanks to the properties of this natural compound, heavy metals (copper, lead, mercury and others) are removed and their harmful effects on the body are prevented. As a result of the combination of carboxyl groups contained in pectin molecules with ions of heavy metals and radionuclides, complex insoluble salts are formed, which are not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and are eliminated from the body without harming it. For this reason, products containing pectin are recommended for people who work with heavy metals.

Substances that are often harmful to the body also have a negative effect on the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. Inulin, a natural compound included in the complex together with the sorbent pectin, in this case helps to restore normal intestinal microflora and activates the course of reparative processes in the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Stimulating the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis and accelerating the advancement of the food bolus in its upper sections, inulin promotes the speedy elimination of harmful substances, and after its breakdown in the lower intestine, it acts as a nutrient substrate for bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. This compound, demonstrating selective action, activates the development of beneficial microflora, but does not stimulate the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Inulin also has a mild laxative effect.

Taurine and succinic acid are easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and help to improve energy production in cells. Succinic acid also enhances liver detoxification function.
