DescriptionThree natural sources of high quality fiber rolled into one.
Benefits:
This unique laxative formula consists of three different sources of fiber. The primary ingredient in Floralax is psyllium husks because they contain 60-70% soluble fiber; more than eight times that of oat bran. Psyllium husks come from plants of the Plantago genus, which are cultivated mainly in India and the Mediterranean region. When ingested with the proper amount of water, psyllium can swell up to 100 times its original volume, providing bulk to fecal mass. In this bulk form, psyllium acts as a sponge that absorbs intestinal toxins and lowers blood cholesterol levels. It moves quickly through the colon because it has a lubricant action equal to that of oil, but is not oily. It contains no nutrients. These husks are almost tasteless and they are a good choice for those with an aversion to oily supplements. Defatted flax seeds are used because they swell up with water and form mucilage, which keeps fecal matter soft. The seeds are defatted because the active ingredient (lignin) is found in high concentration in the fiber of the seed and not in the oil of the whole flax seeds. Lignins are hormone-like substances that help protect the body from degenerative diseases. Oat bran offers an additional source of fiber and is extremely easy to digest.
Those with disorders of the colon such as Colitis, Crohn's, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Diverticulitis , anyone who is constipated, has high cholesterol, is on a cleansing or detoxifying program or just wants to assist or improve the body's elimination process.
Qualities:
Made from all natural ingredients with no additives or preservatives. Can be taken regularly without side effects. Floralax is equally beneficial for those suffering from diarrhea because it works on all three organs of digestion: the small intestine, the large intestine and the colon. First, the gel from the psyllium husks and flax seeds encourage activity to begin in the small intestines. The oat bran works as a broom to sweep out the large intestine. The lactose in Floralax benefits the colon by helping promote friendly bacteria growth.
Dosages:
Adult does: Take 5 g (1 tbsp.) one to three times daily.
Child Dose, ages 6-12: Take 5 g (1 tbsp.) two times daily.
Child Dose, ages 6-under: Consult a physician before administering.
Mix Floralax in at least 250 ml (8 oz) of liquid with each dose. Mix well and drink immediately. DO NOT SWALLOW IN DRY FORM. Results in a bowel movement within 12-32 hours. A laxative should not be taken within two hours of another medicine because the desired effect of the medicine may be reduced.
Do not take this product if allergic to psyllium seeds. Do not use in the presence of abdominal pain, nausea, fever or vomiting.
