Gastro Help - Snail Candies, Cantareus, 60 g

Cantareus Gastro is a food supplement in the form of chewable candies, combining freeze-dried snail mucus and freeze-dried snail roe from the garden snail (Helix aspersa). The formula combines two natural snail-derived ingredients in a convenient and enjoyable form with a blackcurrant flavour.

The product is intended to support the normal structure and function of the digestive system, urinary system and immune system.

Snail mucus - a natural ingredient with a long history:

The use of snails and their natural secretions has a long history in traditional medicine. Historical sources indicate that snails were used for medicinal purposes as early as Ancient Greece. Hippocrates described the use of snail mucus, while later Pliny and Galen also mentioned snails in their medical writings.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, interest in snails as a natural raw material increased. Historical medical sources describe various snail-based preparations used for complaints associated with the respiratory, digestive and skin systems. Traditional uses included stomach pain, intestinal spasms and gastritis. These references describe the historical use of snail preparations and should not be considered evidence that a modern food supplement can treat any specific disease.

Modern research continues to investigate the composition and biological properties of snail mucus. Scientific reviews describe the presence of various polysaccharides, glycoproteins, mucins, peptides, allantoin, glycolic acid and other naturally occurring compounds.

Snail roe - a valuable natural ingredient:

Snail roe is also of interest as a natural raw material. The eggs of Helix aspersa are also known as "white caviar" and are used as a delicacy in gastronomy, particularly in some European countries. Snail roe production has been documented in France, Italy, Poland and Greece.

Modern research into the eggs and mucus of Helix aspersa has revealed a rich and diverse chemical composition, including numerous biologically active compounds. Researchers highlight the potential of these raw materials for the development of new products, while also noting that further research is needed to fully understand their biological properties.

Health benefits of snail mucus and snail roe:

Snail mucus and snail roe are being studied for their naturally occurring complex of biologically active compounds. Snail mucus contains various polysaccharides, glycoproteins, mucins, peptides, allantoin and other compounds of scientific interest. Snail roe also contains a variety of proteins, lipids, amino acids and mineral components.

The traditional use of snail preparations also includes applications related to the digestive system. Historical medical sources describe their use for stomach pain, intestinal spasms and gastritis.

What is Helix aspersa?
Helix aspersa is the scientific name of a garden snail whose mucus and roe are used as natural raw materials in the food, cosmetics and other industries.

What is snail mucus used for?
Snail mucus has a long history of traditional use. Historical sources describe the use of various snail preparations for conditions associated with the respiratory and digestive systems. Today, the composition and biological properties of snail mucus continue to be the subject of scientific research.

Is snail roe used as food?
Yes. The eggs of certain land snail species, including Helix aspersa, are used to produce what is known as "white caviar" and are recognised as a delicacy in European gastronomy.
