Antioxidants have a very beneficial effect on the peristalsis (movement) of the large intestine. Through their preventive effect on free radicals, they prevent oxidative stress in the intestinal wall and protect the mucous membrane and smooth muscles of the intestine, along with the nerve endings in the wall, from damage.

Through their antioxidant activity, antioxidants enable the normal – protective intestinal flora to multiply and colonize the mucous membrane, thereby preventing the colonization of pathogenic bacteria that trigger serious disease processes in the intestinal wall. With all these good effects of antioxidants, we can explain their beneficial effects on digestion.

In individuals with chronic constipation, the consumption of natural antioxidants helps eliminate these digestive problems, which can, over the years, also lead to serious intestinal diseases.
