A healthy lifestyle, including a diet with plenty of fiber, regular exercise, and proper hydration can help keep us regular. But, sometimes we need a little help from a gentle natural laxative for digestive health.
Review of Shaklee Herb-Lax® Natural Laxative
An original Dr. Shaklee formula, Herb-Lax® contains an enhanced proprietary blend of natural ingredients, including Senna leaf powder (Cassia angustifolia), which has been used for many centuries, by many people, as a natural laxative, plus other assisting and complementary herbs which help make this a gentle, natural laxative.
Other ingredients include Licorice root powder (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Buckthorn bark powder (Rhamnus frangula), Alfalfa leaf powder (Medicago sativa), Fennel seed powder (Foeniculum vulgare), Anise seed powder (Pimpinella anisum), Rhubarb root powder (Rheum palmatum), Blue malva flower powder (Malva sylvestris), Culver’s root powder (Veronicastrum virginicum).
The main ingredient, Senna, is an FDA-approved non-prescription laxative. It is used to treat constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and also to clear the bowel before diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy. Senna is also used to help treat hemorrhoids, and is an effective aid in many weight loss products and programs.
While a diet rich in fiber, plenty of liquids, and regular exercise can all help with regularity, for the occasional periods of irregularity most of us have, the gentle laxative action of Herb-Lax® can help.
Shaklee Herb-Lax® Natural Laxative encourages a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural processes. It is also a Kosher laxative and holds a Star-K kosher certification.
