ALKALOIDS: mg. 75:

-Atropine: reduces the salivary secretion

-Benzoin: skin healing effect; acts in heartburn

-Cocaine: anesthetic, analgesic

-Cocamine: painkiller

-Conine: powerful anesthetic

-Ecgonine: metabolizes carbohydrates

-Higrine: stimulates the salivary glands

-Globulins: heart tonics; effective in altitude sickness

-Inulin: equivalent of B12; increases hemoglobin

-Papain: skin healing effect; digestive

-Pectin: absorbent; anti diarrhea

-Pyridine: enhances cerebral circulation
