Mannitol Zeta Block 10g

Mannitol Zeta - Food Supplement

When taken orally, mannitol acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestinal lumen and increasing the volume and softness of the stool.
The increase in fecal volume in turn represents a powerful stimulus for peristalsiintestinal (set of propulsive rhythmic contractions responsible for the advancement of the stool towards the outside).
Also orally, mannitol can be used as an alternative sweetener to traditional sucrose.
Its sweetening power is in fact equal to about 50% of that of the cooking sugar, with the advantage of being low-calorie and acaryogenic, and with a metabolism independent of insulin (particularly useful feature in the presence of diabetes); however, this laxative effect it limits its use in this sense.
