Herbolax is a combination of herbs that provides temporary relief from occasional constipation. It includes the stimulant laxative senna which induces defecation by acting directly on the large intestine. The bioactive compounds in senna, members of the anthraquinone family, function by regulating colonic water reabsorption and colonic motility. Preclinical research suggests that they decrease colonic water reabsorption and promote colonic electrolyte secretion to increase fecal water content. By stimulating the myenteric plexus, the neuralgic center that coordinates peristalsis of the digestive tract, these compounds also increase colonic motility. Collectively, these activities serve to produce soft stools and reduce intestinal transit time. In addition to providing senna, Herbolax offers other anthraquinone-containing herbs, including rhubarb and cascara, as well as a blend of anise and fenugreek. Anise contains the bioactive compound 1-methoxy-4-(prop-1-en-1-yl)benzene, while fenugreek seeds are known to contain a lot of mucilaginous fiber.
Adults: Take four capsules once daily before bedtime, a few hours before or after taking other medications or natural health products, or as recommended by your healthcare professional. The laxative effect is felt after six to twelve hours. Repeat the treatment two or three times a week. If no results are obtained, the frequency of use may be increased to once a day. Consult your health care professional for any use longer than seven days.
Non-medicinal ingredients: Cellulose, hypromellose, silica, hyprolose, magnesium stearate.
