Bismuth, a naturally occurring
element, is one of the first
ten metals ever discovered.

In medicine, bismuth exhibits lower radioactivity than the human body, making it nearly indistinguishable from stable elements in the periodic table, and it poses no biological risks.
Unique among metallic elements, bismuth is regarded as a 'green' element, leading to the development of various bismuth compounds for use in medications, cosmetics, and personal care products.
Originally used to treat syphilis, bismuth has become a popular oral medication for gastrointestinal diseases over the past century, demonstrating excellent therapeutic effects and biological safety.
Bismuth and its compounds have garnered significant attention for their unique properties, emerging as a focal point in advanced technology research. Studies on bismuth-based catalysts, solar cells, flexible wearable devices, integrated diagnostics and treatments, and the replacement of lead with bismuth in water pipe manufacturing, are continuously enhancing people's lives with eco-friendly, convenient, and efficient solutions.

INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

33.3mg

Bismuth Subnitrate

It interacts with necrotic proteins at the site of gastrointestinal ulcers, forming a protective barrier over the ulcer wounds. This barrier prevents gastric acid, digested food, and other irritants from adhering to the intestinal wall, thereby alleviating abdominal pain and diarrhea.

44.4mg

Bismuth Subgallate

It has an astringent effect, binding with secreted proteins in the gastrointestinal mucosa to form insoluble precipitates that protect the mucosa and reduce inflammation. Additionally, by reacting with hydrogen sulfide produced during abnormal fermentation in the intestine, it alleviates gas irritation of the digestive wall, decreases intestinal peristalsis, mitigates pain reflexes, and promotes the repair of intestinal cells.

44.4mg

Albumin Tannate

Once in the intestine, albumin tannate is converted into tannate alkali by pancreatic juice, producing an astringent effect that helps stop diarrhea. In addition, tannic acid coagulates proteins to form a protective film that inhibits intestinal secretions, further contributing to its anti-diarrheal properties.

BRAND STORY

In the early days in Taiwan, harsh living conditions often led to widespread food poisoning and even fatalities.

In response, Mr. Tsuji Ichijiro established the 'Tsuji Tenseidou Pharmacy' in the Hamasen area of Kaohsiung, where he began manufacturing and selling this medication. Thanks to its effectiveness and strong reputation, the medication quickly became a best-seller throughout Taiwan. The company later developed related products and other medications. To ensure product quality, in the 1980s, the company partnered with an OEM certified in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and adopted Good Distribution Practices (GDP). Today, with over a century of operation, the company remains committed to sustainable development, aiming to benefit the public in the years to come.
