Gallith…
Gallith can lead to a significant reduction in the number and size of cholesterol-containing gallstones.
The exact mechanism of action has not yet been clarified. An influence on the composition of the bile secretion and thus on the ratio of cholesterol to bile acids is suspected.
The plant's ursolic acid, which is structurally closely related to the body's own bile acid (ursodeoxycholic acid), seems to be particularly effective with regard to the dissolution (lysis) of gallstones. Gundelrebenkraut extracts also contain flavonoids, tannins, bitter substances, saponins and essential oils as pharmacologically active ingredients. The bitter substances it contains stimulate the formation of gastric juices, while the saponins and the essential oil have an expectorant effect and have a soothing effect on the mucous membranes.

The bile is produced by the body to digest fat and consists mainly of water (approx. 80%) and bile salts. It is produced in the liver to be stored in the gallbladder and released into the duodenum with meals. Before the bile is discharged through the bile ducts into the duodenum, it is thickened in the gallbladder, which can cause gallstones to form.
The exact mechanism by which gallstones form is not yet known, but a change in the composition of bile is likely to play a key role. For example, if there is too much cholesterol and too few bile acids, the formation of cholesterol stones is encouraged.
Symptoms: A large part of the gallstones goes unnoticed, only about a quarter of all patients complain about symptoms. The symptoms can be varied:
If a gallstone migrates into one of the bile ducts, it can trigger biliary colic with severe, cramping pain. In the case of acute biliary colic, the doctor should be consulted immediately.
For medicines: Read the leaflet on the risks and side effects and ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Gallith - the gentle way against gallstones
Gallith relies on the gentle effect of ground ivy herb. The ground ivy is an old Germanic medicinal plant from the lamiaceae family (Labiatae), which was already described by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) as a medicinal plant for a wide variety of applications. Ground ivy extract can help the body dissolve cholesterol-containing gallstones. Among other things, the triterpenes contained in the plant (such as ursolic acid), which are structurally related to the body's own bile acids, are important for this.
