Properties of the ingredients of ACTICARB<\/h2>\n

ACTICARB and its ingredients facilitate digestion by:<\/p>\n

Peppermint<\/h3>\n

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) contributes to normal gastrointestinal function and helps with indigestion, spasms and flatulence (EFSA ON HOLD<\/a>\u00a02092, 2696, 2698;\u00a0EMA Monographs<\/a>). The main volatile components identified in peppermint essential oil are menthol and menthone, which in ACTICARB are rated at 40-45% and 14-32%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Active Charcoal<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Active Charcoal<\/strong> in ACTICARB\u00a0is of vegetable origin and pure, with a high gas adsorption power.<\/p>\n

Aniseed<\/h3>\n

Aniseed<\/strong>\u00a0(Illicium verum<\/em>) is an herbaceous plant with a long history of use for its health-promoting properties as a flavouring and digestive. The anise essence in ACTICARB is rated with a minimum content of 87% trans-anethole, its most important bioactive.<\/p>\n

For whom is ACTICARB recommended<\/h2>\n

ACTICARB is an ideal supplement for people who want to improve normal gastrointestinal function, relieving excess gas, especially after large meals, excess fat intake, poor digestion, among others.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Gluten-free.
\n\u2713 The presence of peppermint promotes good breath.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is intestinal gas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gases<\/strong>\u00a0are part of the process of digesting the food we eat. The physical and chemical processes of digestion lead to the generation of gas. The first part of digestion takes place in the stomach, when we swallow – normally or involuntarily – the ambient air, including swallowing saliva. The second part of digestion takes place in the large intestine where the bacterial flora produces chemical reactions that cause gas.<\/p>\n

Activated charcoal and gas adsorption<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adsorption<\/strong>\u00a0is the process by which a porous solid (at the microscopic level) is able to\u00a0retain gas particles on its surface<\/strong>\u00a0after coming into contact with it.<\/p>\n

The adsorbent has active centres, which allow gas molecules to settle on its surface.<\/p>\n

Activated charcoal<\/strong>\u00a0has a high gas adsorption (retention) power.<\/p>\n

Obtaining activated charcoal<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

Activated carbon or activated charcoal is produced by<\/strong>\u00a0a carbonisation process and high-performance adsorption capacity (in order to retain as many gases as possible). The\u00a0basic material<\/strong>\u00a0used is pre-carbonised coconut shells, and consists of the following\u00a0processes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Activation in a rotary kiln at 1000 \u00b0C. After 80 hours, it is cooled in a water-cooled screw. This process increases the adsorption capacity.<\/li>\n
  2. The material is purified and dried according to a strict analytical control GMP certified.<\/li>\n
  3. The material is sprayed and homogenised, improving the contact surface for adsorption.<\/li>\n
  4. The material is conditioned for packaging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Causes of excess gas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    If you suffer from discomfort due to high levels of intestinal gas, you can start by\u00a0modifying your diet<\/strong>\u00a0to include\u00a0low-fat and low carbohydrate foods<\/strong>\u00a0and avoid foods that may cause gas.<\/p>\n

    In general, the\u00a0foods that produce the most gas<\/strong>\u00a0in the digestive system are certain legumes such as beans, vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, cabbage, etc. As well as carbonated or fizzy drinks. Smoking can also lead to gas formation by inhaling and swallowing air at the same time as smoke.<\/p>\n

    How to deal with excess gas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    It is recommended to drink plenty of water<\/strong>\u00a0during the day, to eat slowly, chewing food well before swallowing, and not to talk while eating.<\/p>\n

    Activated charcoal<\/strong>\u00a0or herbs such as\u00a0peppermint or aniseed<\/strong>\u00a0can also make it easier to expel excess gas. Of course,\u00a0exercise<\/strong>\u00a0will also help if you have a lot of gas, for example, taking a short walk after meals.<\/p>\n

    If gas or bloating persists for several days, if it becomes severe, or if the gas does not pass naturally, it is important to see a doctor.<\/p>\n

    Holding in the gas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    When we\u00a0hold in gas<\/strong>, classic signs of\u00a0gas retention<\/strong>\u00a0can appear, such as abdominal distension or bloating, abdominal discomfort, and spasmodic contractions.<\/p>\n

    The intestinal discomfort that some people experience is not due to an increase in the amount of gas in the intestine. It usually occurs if the gas is trapped in the digestive tract or if there is difficulty in moving air through the digestive tract.<\/p>\n

    Signs or symptoms of gas include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Burping and\/or flatulence.<\/li>\n
    • Spasms, cramps, or a knotted feeling in the abdomen.<\/li>\n
    • Feeling of fullness or pressure in the abdomen.<\/li>\n
    • Visible enlargement of the abdomen (bloating).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
