How does Tasectan work?

DIARRHOEA
Diarrhoea is a symptom of an infection in the intestinal tract, which is often caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. When diarrhoea occurs, the intestinal wall's normal function is disrupted, preventing the absorption of water and essential nutrients. This leads to increased fluid in the intestines, causing the contents to move through more quickly and resulting in watery stools.
TASECTAN ACTION
Tasectan forms a thin biofilm that protects the wall of your intestine. This prevents water loss, the growth of some harmful bacteria, and prevents germs from attaching to your intestinal wall. This treatment also reduces inflammation.

This thin biofilm aids in rapidly clearing the infection. Once the infection is eliminated, diarrhoea stops, and normal gut function resumes.
