Benzim Natural 120ml Syrup

Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) and Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) are known for their synergistic effects in this syrup/suspension. Fennel's primary mechanism involves its volatile oil, particularly anethole, which exhibits spasmolytic properties, relaxing smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. This action aids in relieving digestive discomfort. Ginger's active compounds, gingerols and shogaols, possess gastroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. They modulate gastrointestinal motility, reduce nausea and vomiting, and alleviate gastric irritation. The combination enhances digestive function by soothing the gut, reducing inflammation, and promoting efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients.
