WHY CHOOSE FILTRUM®
Filtrum® - enterosorbent of natural origin is based on lignin, produced by wood processing.
Due to the presence of micro-, meso- and macro-pores in its structure, lignin has a broad spectrum of sorption activity. Consequently, it has a distinct ability to bind and remove from the body pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, drugs, poisons, heavy metal salts, alcohol, allergens, as well as excess of certain metabolic products, including bilirubin, cholesterol, urea, and other metabolites that can lead to development of endogenous toxicosis.
filtrum® has efficacy in treatment of food poisoning and diarrhoea of various causes:

As study results have demonstrated*, unlike activated charcoal, lignin does not cause inflammation of the mucous layer of stomach and intestines, it is not abrasive, and therefore it has better physiological properties and may be used in long courses.
