LaxaCare (Vegelax) - Nature's Balanced Bowel Regulator Formula LaxaCare (known internationally as HerboLax or VegeLax) is all-natural, gentle bowel support for occasional constipation caused by improper diet, low fluid consumption, stress, and other factors affecting the digestive system's efficiency. LaxaCare helps prevent the discomfort associated with occasional constipation without any associated loss of fluids or electrolytes. LaxaCare is a combination of aloes with a number of other non-irritating natural ingredients. Its main component is Indian Jalap (Ipomoea turpethum), a very good natural purgative used in many combinations, with properties enhanced by several other botanicals such as Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). LaxaCare is the ideal natural formula for the relief of occasional constipation. Usage Take 2 capsules before bedtime. Ensure sufficient fluid intake. The use of natural products provides progressive but long-lasting results Packaging New Packaging: 60 easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules Scientific Validation

Additional Studies: Ind. Med. J (1986): 80 (6), 87. Key Ingredients  | Indian Jalap (Ipomoea turpethum) Indian Jalap has been traditionally used as a mild but very effective laxative. It contains a glycosid that is also found in aloes. |  | Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) Haritaki or Chebulic myrobalam. Haritaki is a safe and effective purgative, expectorant and tonic. It is a component of the classic Ayurvedic combination called 'Triphala' or 'three fruits' (see also Amalaki and Vibhitaki.) The use of Triphala is at the heart of Ayurvedic medicine, which often promotes health through successive steps of purification and tonification. In Sanskrit, Haritaki literally means 'carries away' (all diseases.) It is known to have strong anti-mutagenic activity. |  | Chicory (Cichorium intybus) Chicory is a powerful hepatic stimulant which increases bile secretion and promotes digestion. Evidence has shown its effect on promoting liver glycogen synthesis and recent studies have shown it aids in the inhibition of free radicals and as an antidote to the liver toxicity of certain chemicals. |  | Negro Coffee (Cassia occidentalis) Negro Coffee has been traditionally used to promote normal bowel movements. It is a cousin species of Senna, a known and stronger purgative. Despite its name (which comes from its occasional use as a coffee substitute), Negro Coffee is absolutely unrelated to coffee. |  | Black Nightshade (Solanum nigrum) The Black Nightshade plant and its berries contain various alkaloids that have been shown to support a healthy liver, skin, kidneys and bladder. The most recent studies indicate that the hepatoprotective effect of Black Nightshade may be due to the suppression of the oxidative degradation of DNA. |  | Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) Licorice has been primarily used traditionally to promote gastrointestinal health. It is a mild laxative which soothes and tones the mucous membranes. Licorice is rich in flavonoids and is currently under investigation as an antioxidant boosting certain immune functions. |  | Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Ginger is the delicious common spice used traditionally to improve digestion and prevent nausea. These properties result from helping bowel movements and relaxing the muscles controlling the digestive system. Ginger is considered an adjuvant in many Ayurvedic formulas that enhance absorption and prevent gastrointestinal side effects. |
