If you don't visit the bathroom regularly, Lax Complex is the solution thanks to its synergistic formula of active ingredients. For example, cascara sagrada or frangula purshiana is a large shrub in the Rhamnaceae family. The part used is the bark of the trunk, which is cut into small pieces and left to dry for at least a year. The main components of the plant are anthraquinone glycosides, responsible for the cholagogue and laxative effect. Cascara sagrada extract contains 8% cascarosides A. And undetected levels (< 1 ppm) of Aloe-emodin, emodin and danthrone are assured (according to Regulation (EU) 2021/468, with regard to botanical species containing hydroxyanthracene derivatives). Dandelion, due to its mucilage content, promotes a mechanical laxative effect. Fennel and marshmallow help relax the smooth muscles of the sphincters due to their digestive properties. Tamarind is a tropical tree native to East Africa. The pulp and seeds are used. Due to its polysaccharide content, it is attributed a mild laxative effect, since it promotes mechanical and osmotic activity. Inulin is a polysaccharide composed of fructose chains. Inulin (like FOS) resists enzymatic digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract until it reaches the colon virtually intact, where it is fermented by the microbiota. Bacterial fermentation of inulin takes place in the most distal part of the colon (unlike FOS which is metabolized in the most proximal part) producing gases, lactate and short-chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, and butyrate). One of the main effects of inulin in the body is its prebiotic activity, selectively promoting the growth and activity of different microbial species.
