The active ingredients of the product do not accumulate in the blood, but they can linger in the tissues for some time, which provides a prolonged action.

The main amount of substances entering the blood is processed during the day in the liver, breaking down into metabolites. Decay products are excreted mainly with the help of the kidneys for 1 day. A small amount of metabolites is evacuated with feces.
