After the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, TINRO-center (Vladivostok) developed such a tool as Laminal. Instructions for use, analogues are presented in this article. The abstract assumes its use as an effective sorbent. How effective is it, we will consider in this material.
What does the drug include?
When it became necessary to create a tool that could protect the health of the military, who work in adverse conditions (for example, nuclear scientists), the Laminal was developed. Instructions for use, the composition of the product indicates its safety for humans. It has a gel-like consistency and green color and contains the following components:
- free sodium alginate ;
- a number of trace elements, including iodine;
- fiber;
- pigments
- protein compounds;
- lipids.
Description of the components of the tool
Laminal (instructions for use indicate this) is not a drug. But this is not a reason to believe that it does not have any healing properties.
So, the key structural polysaccharide of kelp, called alginic acid, is contained in Laminal in the form of a water-soluble salt and retains its high molecular weight structure.
Unlike the initial component of the drug - seaweed - it has the following properties:
- adhesive
- sorption;
- acts as an enterosorbent;
- is a prophylactic for the treatment of the digestive tract.
Drug certification
Biogel has a large number of certificates and is marked with different quality marks. In particular, he is a laureate of the “100 Best Products of Russia” and “Russian Brand” awards. In the CIS, the Laminal preparation is widely used. The instructions for use in Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation and Belarus are the same if, of course, you purchased the original product. It is important to find out when acquiring the availability of a EURASEC certificate of the Customs Union.
Indications
Analogues of the drug are rare. One of them is Lamifaren biogel. It has similar properties and is also produced in Russia. In what cases is it used or the original drug - "Laminal"?
Instructions for use contain such information:
- works as an enterosorbent, removes toxins from the body, excess nutrients (lipids and allergens), various toxins and heavy metals;
- an auxiliary drug for the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases;
- as a source of dietary fiber, which tidies the intestinal microflora (treatment of dysbiosis);
- contains organic iodine, carotene, chlorophyll, polyunsaturated fatty acids and trace elements.
There are also cosmetic functions of the drug "Laminal".
Instructions and how to use the tool
If we are talking about the treatment of gastroenterological diseases, the drug is prescribed in its pure form 1-3 times a day for 20-40 grams. Take it half an hour before a meal, dilute with warm water, juice or milk. You can add sugar, syrup or jam.
When a patient suffers from dysbiosis, Laminal is mixed with a fermented milk product based on bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. And with diabetes mellitus or impaired metabolism, it is taken in its pure form or with authorized additives.
As a cosmetic product (masks and wraps) "Laminal" is used in its pure form or together with aromatic oils. It is applied to the body or face with a thin layer, and then washed off with warm water without detergents.
For gastroenterological diseases, it is recommended to take the drug with sugar or fruit syrup. If juice is used, then it must be from non-acidic fruit varieties. To improve the condition of a person, you need to take the drug for 15-30 days every day. All these recommendations are contained in the instructions for use attached to the Laminal product. There are practically no contraindications to its use, with the exception of individual intolerance to iodine.
What is alginate?
This substance is the result of processing brown algae. Alginic acid has a high absorption capacity. And alginates do not have color, smell, taste, do not respond to heat and have a high level of viscosity. They consist of different fractions of uronic acids. Alginates are widely used in the treatment of diabetes. In most cases, this gives positive results. They are used for the production of pastes, suspensions and liquids from burns, as well as for the purpose of thickening a number of solutions. In rare cases, alginates are a component for prosthetic appliances and hemostatic drugs. In addition, they help to activate the work of vaccines against viruses and cure diseases of the digestive tract.
The action of alginates and the elimination of toxins
Alginates sorb stable metals and their radioisotopes, in particular cesium and strontium. But the latter is difficult, since it has a metabolic pathway similar to calcium. So, according to research, Laminal works. Instructions for use confirm their results and indicate that alginates are able to remove heavy metals and strontium. They also contribute to the release of toxins that accumulate in the body after drug treatment.
The use of "Laminal" in cancer
Several years ago, clinical trials of the drug were conducted at the children's oncology center in Vladivostok. With their help, scientists studied the effectiveness of the drug after radiation and chemotherapy.
A ten-day course helped to achieve significant results in the treatment of dysbiosis of the second degree. It could last even longer with a more serious form of the disease. If biogel was used for toxic syndrome, then improvement occurred after 10-20 days. And in order to reduce the recurrence rate of bowel dysfunction during chemotherapy, you should drink Laminal for 20 weeks every three months. Often, such treatment provokes metabolic disorders. The manual says that with cancer and severe intoxication, the patient’s condition greatly facilitates the preparation “Laminal”. Instructions for use, reviews, unfortunately, does not contain, but we will give them further in this material.
Reviews about the tool
Patients have different opinions about the drug. Some say that an improvement has taken place and the result has been very noticeable. Others write that it helps, but far from all the diseases that are listed in the instructions for its use. In addition, the disadvantages include the high cost of the product, unpleasant taste and smell. That is why it is recommended to be taken with juice, syrup, sugar and other additives that will help level the negative impression of consumption.
Laminal Biogel is not only used to treat the underlying disease, in particular the gastrointestinal tract, but also helps minimize the effects of radio and chemotherapy, and also helps to transfer different types of cancer treatment in children and adults.
People who work in hazardous production often have problems, they need to remove toxic substances from the body. "Laminal" is one of the effective domestic drugs that helps to relieve the patient from them and improve his general condition. There are a lot of opinions about him; most boil down to the safety of its use.
