Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product combines two distinct ingredients — fiber and senna — but specific data on this combination product is not available. Data not available for the product’s overall efficacy or standard dosing. We must rely on general data for fiber and senna separately.

How it works

Fiber works by adding bulk to stool and promoting regularity. Senna is a stimulant laxative that triggers bowel movements by irritating the intestinal lining. Data not available for how this specific blend performs in studies.

Safety profile
