Food supplement for the well-being of your Intestine
Salugea Intestinum Forte is a liquid food supplement supporting the physiological intestinal motility and transit and regulating the functions of the hyper-sensitive or hyper-reactive bowel.
You will be finally capable of enjoying life again: your mood will improve, you will be able to enjoy your consumption moments whenever and wherever you are, be it at work or out with friends, with no worry or need to keep an eye on the nearest restrooms.
Salugea Intestinum Forte comes in pharmaceutical brown glass, practical and resistant single-dose vials. The product does not contain preservatives nor synthetic sweeteners.
Salugea Intestinum Forte is a new generation 100% natural product. Its active ingredients not only modulate your bowel movements (thus naturally relieving either constipation or diarrhoea) but they also support your normal bowel motility and the stool frequency over time.
Besides, Salugea Intestinum Forte also contributes to alleviating stress and emotional strain which are often the underlying causes for bowel discomfort.
Most of the products available on the market, instead, usually focus on stopping the urge to evacuate stools.
Which is fine for the occasional bowel discomfort, but in the long term the intake of such products can even make the discomfort worse.
During this phase, even specific lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or probiotics can be of very little help, if none. In fact, if the bowel mucosa is irritated the strains of good bacteria will be hardly capable of colonizing the intestine, the irritated mucosa being inhospitable to them.
Hence, the key to your bowel long-lasting (not for just a few hours) wellbeing is a normalizing and supporting action on your bowel motility and transit.
Salugea Intestinum Forte contains extracts of Mallow, Perilla, Griffonia, Star Anise and Cranberry.

How it works
The secret of Salugea Intestinum Forte lies in its totally natural formulation. Its selected active ingredients develop an effective synergy that promotes the bowel physiological balance, and particularly the bowel motility, ensures the wellbeing of the intestine mucosa and support your mood.
Mallow
Mallow has always played a key-role in promoting the digestive tract wellbeing.
In fact, Mallow mucilage and its complex polysaccharides are indigestible and in aqueous solution they turn into a gel that forms a protective film on the mucosa of the digestive tract. Such vegetable film protects the mucosa from being damaged by chemical and mechanical agents as swell as bacteria.
You can imagine this film as a lining that protects and soothes the bowel mucosa.
Perilla
At first glance Perilla looks like basil, but with white leaves. It is a small plant reaching a maximum height of 80 centimeters. It is a concentrate of terpenoid polyphenols, flavonoids, essential oil and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are all beneficial to the wellbeing of the intestine. It mainly counteracts the excessive reactivity of the bowel mucosa by reducing irritation and ensuring recovery of the mucosa physiological functions.
Griffonia
The mood booster! Griffonia main active ingredient is 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP), a natural a precursor to Serotonin production. Serotonin is a hormone considered as a natural mood stabilizer that helps relaxation. Griffonia has been included in Salugea Intestinum Forte formulation because bowel discomfort is often also due to heavy and prolonged stress. Griffonia has also a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles of the intestine, which allows to reduce excessive bowel spasms and to promote a general bowel wellbeing.
Star anise
Intestinal motility and transit regulator. Salugea Intestinum Forte formulation also includes Star Anise dry extract titrated in Shikimic Acid. Shikimic Acid is a biocompound with analgesic, antibacterial and antiviral properties. Such properties bring the intestine back into balance and allow for its functions to be recovered.
Cranberry
Cranberry bud extracts are also part of Salugea Intestinum Forte formulation. Cranberry Bud extracts are traditionally used in gemmotherapy for the general wellbeing of the intestine. In fact, they have sedative, antispastic and soothing properties that can restore the bowel physiological motility.
How to take Salugea Intestinum Forte
For best results, we recommend that you take 1 to 3 vials of Intestinum Forte a day (according to your level of discomfort), preferably half an hour before main meals.

Salugea Intestinum Forte proves to be effective by itself. Yet, for a deeper and stronger action, you may want to combine it with:
- Salugea Reflugea Forte for the control of the stomach acidity,
- Salugea Colonsan Formula Potenziata to prevent the production of excessive gas in the bowel and promote the digestive functions,
- Salugea Organic Aloe Vera Juice or Organic Mangosteen Juice, both high in antioxidants, for a soothing and regulating action on the stomach and the intestine,

The Benefits of Healthy Habits
The wellbeing of your bowel also depends on your daily habits. That is why, should you experience bowel discomfort, just try to stick to the recommendations hereafter.
- Stop drinking coffee or drink as little coffee as you can. You can take instead decaffeinated coffee, barley coffee or any other hot drink that does not contain nervines.
- Do not eat hot, spicy, salted or smoked foods; avoid eating food high in saturated fats (fried food, red meat, cold cuts, matured cheese, whole milk, rich sauces and condiments), as well as carbonated, sugary drinks.
- Do not eat fruits or sugary foods at the end of your meal. Eat some fruits as a snack between your main meals, better if cooked and of the alkaline type, such as bananas, almonds, apples and pears.
- Do not drink alcoholic drinks and slow down on smoking, better if you quit.

Up to 40% of the Italian population are estimated to suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) at some point in their lives. Which means that nearly one person out of two experiences the effects of IBS.
This estimate - made by the Italian Society of Gastroenterology - reveals how common such syndrome can be.
IBS is a chronic disorder that affects the large intestine, with major consequences also on the mood and quality of life.
Let's see why.
People suffering from IBS experience:
- abdominal pain, at least once a week, over a period of at least three months,
- sudden pangs of pain followed by diarrhea,
- diarrhea or constipation, or alternation of both,
- discomfort that seems to go away after evacuation of stool.
The above symptoms have a high impact on the individual's daily life, both physically and emotionally. In fact, people suffering from IBS:
- experience permanent uneasiness away from home,
- have a very restricted diet (they eat only foods they consider as "safe"),
- always need to know there are restrooms nearby, whenever they are away from home,
- often feel tired and lack of energy,
- have tried several remedies, with no results.
And what are the solutions the market suggests?
Most of the supplements available on the market simply focus on temporarily stopping the urge to evacuate stools, which is fine for the occasional bowel discomfort, but in the long term the intake of such products can even make the discomfort worsen.
Even specific lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or probiotics can be of very little help, if none. In fact, if the bowel mucosa is irritated the strains of good bacteria will be hardly capable of colonizing the intestine, the irritated mucosa being inhospitable to them.
A correct phytotherapeutic approach should:
- help the intestine regain its physiological motility,
- provide the intestine walls with a lining that protects them,
- control intestinal hyper- or hypomotility,
- support the bowel mucosa regeneration,
- relieve stress and emotional strain.
Based on these requirements, Salugea has created Intestinum Forte, a mix of natural ingredients that not only provide fast relief by regulating the enteric stimuli, but they are also effective on the long term by supporting the bowel mucosa regeneration and the control the intestine motility.
Besides, also the emotional side of the disorder is taken care of. It is a matter of fact that body, mind and environment are inextricably intertwined.

The review provides an overview of Perilla botanical, phytochemical and biological characteristics. Perilla specific properties were also analyzed. Perilla showed various biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotection effects.
- Urushima H, Nishimura J, Mizushima T, Hayashi N, Maeda K, Ito T. Perilla frutescens extract ameliorates DSS-induced colitis by suppressing proinflammatory cytokines and inducing anti-inflammatory cytokines. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2015 Jan 1; 308 (1): G32-41. doi: 10.1152 / ajpgi.00294.2014. Epub 2014 Oct 30. PMID: 25359539.
In this study, Perilla analgesic and soothing effects on colitis were studied. The study was carried out on mice and showed that Perilla active molecules induce a remarkable decrease in the body production of proinflammatory cytokines. That is why researchers conclude that Perilla might be useful in treatment and prevention of colitis.
Griffonia
- Keszthelyi D. et al. Serotonergic reinforcement of intestinal barrier function is impaired in irritable bowel syndrome. Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2014 Aug; 40 (4): 392-402. doi: 10.1111 / apt.12842. Epub 2014 Jun 18. PMID: 24943480.
The study shows that alterations in serotonergic metabolism and/or intestinal integrity are associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 15 IBS patients and 15 healthy volunteers were involved in a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study. At the end of the study, the researchers highlighted that serotonin can strengthen the intestinal barrier and this effect would be even more pronounced and positive in subjects with IBS.
