About Metagenics Laxatone 30c
Frangula purshiana is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to treat constipation and regulate bowel movements. At 1 capsule per day, Frangula purshiana helps to regulate bowel movements via stimulation of peristalsis and increasing fluid secretion. At a higher dose of 4 capsules per day, components of the herb activate the underlying smooth muscle cells of the large intestine, triggering muscular contractions to relieve constipation. Rheum officinale is also traditionally used to aid the relief of constipation via an increase in bile flow. Laxatone contains carminative herbs; Cinnamomum cassia and Zingiber officinale to assist in the management of non-specific dyspepsia and reduce intestinal spasm that may occur with laxative herbs. Zingiber officinale may inhibit smooth muscle activity, reducing intestinal spasms.
