What does it do?

Campen is an ingredient used as a hepatobiliary agent that stimulates the secretion of bile, improving digestive function. It is primarily used to alleviate symptoms related to digestive disorders by facilitating the flow of bile.

Campen increases bile secretion from the liver, helping bile flow well into the intestines. As a result, the digestion and absorption of fats are improved, and bowel activity is enhanced.
