An effective osmotic alternative

Unlike conventional laxatives, which can be harsh, OsmoAid™ works gently by:

• Lowering colonic pH and stimulating peristalsis (the rippling and wave-lie motion that contract and relax the bowel muscles) and 
• Increasing the osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen, resulting in an increase in faecal volume.¹⁴

Numerous studies conducted on constipated adults have demonstrated that OsmoAid™ is highly effective as it significantly increases stool frequency⁶, is well tolerated with no unnecessary adverse effects and is considered a pleasant treatment.^16,3

Similarly, studies conducted on constipated children between 8 months to 16 years of age confirmed OsmoAid™ as a relieving agent with a proven therapeutic efficacy and better tolerability. In particular, it was observed that these children do not encounter abdominal pain and increased flatus.^1,11
