CoCurmin® Colo Capsules, 30 ST

CoCurmin® Colo capsules are a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet) with lactobacteria, bifidobacteria, turmeric extract and black pepper extract. For dietary management of intestinal complaints following a colonoscopy.

Colonoscopy/colonoscopy

• A colonoscopy is an important and safe method of thoroughly examining the lower sections of the bowel. You will have been informed about the possible risks and complications of this medical procedure in advance. In contrast to serious health consequences, which only occur in exceptional cases, up to 30% of those examined may experience temporary intestinal discomfort, such as bloating and abdominal pain, in the days following the procedure. This discomfort has less to do with the examination itself than with the preparations for it:
• In preparation for a colonoscopy, you were given a laxative to cleanse the bowel. However, this forced complete emptying of the bowel not only flushed out the bowel contents, but also a large proportion of the beneficial bacteria naturally occurring in the bowel, which now have to slowly colonise again after this examination.

Active ingredients

• Curcumin: Curcumin is the active ingredient from turmeric, which has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.
• 8 natural bacterial strains: Eight different bacterial strains, which occur in the natural and healthy intestinal flora, enter the intestine in gastric juice-resistant capsules in viable form and in millions, where they can colonise and multiply. The eight bacterial strains include the bifidobacteria B. longum, B. infantis and B. breve, the lactobacilli L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus and L. casei, as well as the strains S. thermophilus and L. lactis.
• Bioperine: Bioperine is piperine, a secondary plant substance from black pepper (Piper nigrum). In small quantities, black pepper supports the function of the other plants in products with several herbal ingredients.

How to use

• It is best to start taking CoCurmin® Colo on the day of the colonoscopy, but only AFTER the examination!
• Take one capsule three times a day unchewed with plenty of liquid. The intake should be spread throughout the day and preferably before meals.
• CoCurmin® Colo capsules should be taken over a period of at least one week without interruption. As CoCurmin® Colo is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet), a longer intake is generally possible.
• Important information: Curcumin preparations promote the flow of bile and should therefore not be taken in cases of acute liver or bile inflammation or proven gallstones. In combination with anticoagulants, curcumin can increase the risk of bleeding and should therefore only be taken after consulting a doctor. Small children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should not take curcumin preparations, as there are insufficient studies on these groups of people. As CoCurmin® Colo is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet), prolonged intake is generally possible. Must be taken under medical supervision and is not suitable as the sole source of nutrition.
