​MARSHMALLOW 25% MUCILAGES DRY EXTRACT is produced from dried root, harvested in autumn, when the polysaccharides content is highest. Marshmallow also contains flavonoids and phenolic acids. The mucilaginous-gel matrix is essential for bio-adhesion and in-situ activity, exerting bulk laxative effects, and emollient and soothing properties on inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract. Marshmallow has traditionally been used for the oral and upper respiratory tract disturbances thanks to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cough suppressant and bio-adhesion properties.
