- Probiotics – Nature’s Natural Laxatives
Probiotics produce natural substances that fuel your intestinal contractions and provide a lasting constipation cure while also relieving bloating & gas. StayRegular’s proprietary formula uses species that have scientific evidence supporting their role as natural laxatives. Each serving contains 12 billion CFUs of probiotics – that is 12x as much as Align® and 8x as much as Philip’s Colon Health Probiotic Caps®! - Magnesium to Draw Water into Colon & Help Bowels Relax
Two different types of magnesium serve two functions. Magnesium oxide draws water into the colon to soften stools. Magnesium Citrate actives the relaxation response to relieve straining for gentle bowel movements. - Glucomannan: Prebiotic Powerhouse
Glucomannan, or Japanese Konjac root, is the best natural laxative fiber because it expands to up to 50x its size in the gut, helping to push waste through the system while also feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut so that they can help the body relieve constipation. Other natural laxatives use no fiber or inferior fiber that is less comfortable on the intestines. - Artichoke Leaf Extract to Relive Uncomfortable Gas
Constipation is often caused by poorly digested fats. Artichoke Leaf Extract increase bile production so your body can naturally digest fats and relieve the gas they cause. - Vitamin B5 for a Healthy Colon
Your body uses Vitamin B5 to create the nerve signals that tell the colon to contract. Supplementing with B5 makes sure your brain is sending your colon the right signals!
Relevant Research: Benefits of Magnesium & Probiotics
In a 4 week study of people experiencing constipation, the Magnesium in StayRegular as well as just one of the probiotic species in the StayRegular custom probiotic blend brought significant constipation relief.
People using the Magnesium had a higher defecation frequency and softer stools than the control group. This was also true of those taking the probiotic. Treatment success was 72% (for Magnesium) & 77% (for probiotic) versus just 11% for controls.
In short: The ingredients in StayRegular are strong natural laxatives and have been shown to be up to 7 times more likely to show significant improvement than controls at providing relief from constipation.
Helping Your Body Relax – How Non-stimulant Natural Laxatives Work
Stimulant laxatives shouldn’t be used long-term because of the damage they cause the cells of the colon. StayRegular doesn’t use stimulants because we believe a long-term non-stimulant option is healthier and safer for your whole body. The key to this lies in your body’s nervous system.
"Stay regular has given me consistent relief from symptoms of constipation without the side effects and disruptions that laxatives can cause. I like the fact that Stay Regular is not harsh on my system and helps my body in a natural way. Stay Regular worked for me."

The sympathetic nervous system is the part of your body that activates the "fight or flight" response - it quickens the heart, dilates the pupils, and stops the movement of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (which includes your colon). All of these responses are great for emergency situations, but can create constant stress on the body (and induce constipation) if maintained in day to day life. Magnesium is crucial in this process because it is needed to block your sympathetic nervous system and allow your parasympathetic nervous system (which induces the relaxation response) to activate.
O.k., so magnesium helps the body relax - what's the problem?
The problem is that according to the USDA, between 50-70% of the population doesn't get enough magnesium from food sources. People eat less magnesium-rich foods than they used to and the combination of stress, alcohol, caffeine, and modern birth control cause magnesium to be secreted from the body at a higher rate. This causes chronic magnesium deficiency and leads to constipation in many people.
StayRegular combats this problem with its special magnesium blend that moves your body out of the fight or flight response (also called sympathetic dominance) and into a healthy balance with the parasympathetic nervous system (which causes your body to relax and allows for healthy colon movement). When your body relaxes, you can relax and health bowel movements will follow. Natural Laxatives that promote stimulants do nothing to address this issue and are only short-term solutions – StayRegular is a natural laxative that promotes colon health over the long-term.
