Treats occasional constipation and helps restore regular bowel movements. May also be used to help maintain bowel regularity and support overall digestive health.

As a bulk-forming laxative, it absorbs water in the intestinal tract to form a soft, bulky stool. This gentle action stimulates normal bowel contractions and helps stool pass more comfortably.
