Food for special medical purposes Product description
Arginilan – food for special medical purposes. This product contains sweeteners.
For dietary use on patients during radiotherapy, after surgery, with difficult-to-heal wounds and bedsores, and after strokes, in the chronic stage.
Arginilan is a product containing a high proportion of L-arginine, a highly digestible collagen hydrolysate, zinc (in the form of Albion® amino acid chelate), and vitamins A and C.
L-arginine
The L-arginine contained in the preparation is an amino acid, which is essential in certain clinical situations. It is a nutrient from which active biological compounds, e.g. nitric oxide, are formed. This, in turn, takes part in bactericidal processes, which have a positive impact on the process of wound healing.
Collagen
Collagen is a building block for connective tissues, such as skin and cartilage tissues. The use of 5 g of collagen per day maintains the elasticity of the skin (1), which is important for the treatment of bedsore wounds.
Vitamins A and C and zinc help heal wounds and prevent bedsores.
Zinc also plays a role in regeneration processes (2).

Chelate, as a neutral complex, does not disturb the cells mineral and ionic balance. After absorption, in the hydrolysis process, the chelate is broken down into glycine (an amino acid involved, among others, in protein synthesis, the metabolic cycle of nucleic acids or neurotransmission) and elemental magnesium.
ALBION chelates
Albions amino acid chelates are a real revolution in the area of the digestibility of minerals such as iron, magnesium and calcium.
In order for these compounds to be assimilated in their original forms and to perform their intended function, the mineral ion formed as a result of the dissociation process of the mineral compound at the acidic pH of gastric juice must be bound by organic components. This process occurs naturally in our body and is called chelation.
Chelation causes the minerals to be:
- perfectly assimilated
- inert and chemically stable
- resistant to the acidic pH of the stomach
- easy on the digestive tract
- absorbed in the intestinal lumen (jejunum and ileum)
Albions amino acid chelates are created in a unique process, which results in formed compounds that easily pass through the intestinal wall, which avoids disrupting natural chelation, and consequently ensures exceptional bioavailability and provides the body with an appropriate dose of the mineral compound.
