Health Aid Vegilax is a nutritional supplement with herbs for constipation and bowel motility. For a variety of reasons, the gut loses its peristalsis and motility, resulting in the slow passage of food debris through the digestive tract and the development of intestinal disorders such as constipation, followed by irregular and painful bowel movements.
Prune and Fenugreek seed are rich in fiber, which facilitates bowel movements by supporting intestinal motility. Rhubarb contains substances that promote intestinal peristalsis. Fennel, due to its terpenoids (anethole) and licorice due to its flavonoids, offer intestinal relaxation, while Ginger, rich in gingerols, has a positive effect on the digestive tract. (The above information on product ingredients is the result of studies. They are not an opinion of EFSA).
Fennel has traditionally been used to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating and flatulence.
Adults and children over 12 years of age, one tablet daily preferably before bedtime. Adults can increase up to two tablets daily if required. Do not exceed recommended daily intake unless advised by a suitably qualified person.
