Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action

Acacia Gum: Contains prebiotic fibers that help balance normal intestinal flora, promoting better absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

Fig: Traditionally used as a mild laxative and to alleviate intestinal inflammation.

Tamarind: Effective for both acute and chronic constipation relief and also aids in easing abdominal discomfort.

Chinese Rhubarb (Rheum): Acts as a gentle laxative. Its anthraquinone glycosides increase intestinal volume, triggering peristalsis. Rhubarb may cause electrolyte loss, notably potassium.

Artichoke: Contains sesquiterpenes, hydroxycinnamic acids, and flavonoids that support digestive health.

Magnesium Gluconate: Functions as an osmotic laxative.

Potassium Iodide: Included to counteract potential potassium deficiency due to rhubarb content.

Drug Interactions

Patients on digoxin should only use this product under medical supervision.
