Constipation Treatment with StayRegularMost laxatives use stimulant herbs or chemicals to create a quick (and often painful) contraction in your intestines. This process damages the cells of the colon and cannot be continued for more than a week or so without causing further damage (see below for more details). StayRegular is different. It is constipation treatment based on healing your body, not harming it for short-term gain. StayRegular contains no stimulants and will actually become more effective over time as the probiotics restore your intestines to full functioning and the artichoke leaf extract helps your body produce enough bile to digest constipation causing fats. 
"I was always uncomfortable for days and sometimes weeks. My stomach would get real hard and I would not feel like eating. Now I take one pill a day and I get relief within an hour or so. I would highly recommend this natural product to anyone that really has a hard time going. It works." Instructions for Use: ConstipationStart by taking 3 capsules with at least 8 ounces of water on an empty stomach in the morning or before bed. If no results within 2-3 days, increase to 6 capsules daily (3 capsules, twice a day). If this does not produce results after 7 days, you can use up to 9 capsules/day (3 capsules, taken 3 times daily). Once you become regular, you should be able to start slowly reducing your dosage of StayRegular as your body acclimates to the healing probiotics and herbs. Be sure to drink plenty of water when using StayRegular for constipation treatment. StayRegular draws water into your colon to help soften stool and you need to replenish your fluids for it to work optimally.
Instructions for Use: Daily MaintenanceEven if you’re not constipated or have only very mild constipation, StayRegular can be used to maintain general bowel and body health. Use 1-3 capsules a day with at least 8 ounces of water on an empty stomach or an hour before bed. This will help keep your beneficial bacteria balanced and provide the vitamins and minerals you need to prevent constipation from ever coming back. Relevant Research: Constipation Treatment with GlucomannanA study published in 2006 studied the role of Glucomannan, the dynamic fiber in StayRegular, as a constipation treatment. Researchers found that compared to controls, people experienced significant increases in their defecation frequency and stool weight. Aside from just this benefit as a soluble fiber, Glucomannan also acted as potent pre-biotic – increasing the number of bifidobacteria (a key type of probiotic for relieving constipation) while also creating a more hospitable environment for additional probiotics to grow (lower ph and increased short chain fatty acids). What it means for you: The fiber in StayRegular not only helps relieve constipation by pushing waste through your system, but also by supporting the beneficial bacteria that make your intestinal tract function at its best! Stimulant versus Non-Stimulant LaxativesIf you’ve ever used a natural laxative before, chances are that it contained herbs like senna, cascara sagrada, aloe, or rhubarb. The active component in these ingredients are organic compounds called anthraquinones (which also include sennosides). Anthraquinones work by irritating the colon and forcing muscular contractions. This process can be uncomfortable and with prolonged use may reduce bowel motility by causing nerve damage to the cells in the colon. Additionally, just a single dose of sennosides has been shown to lead to increased rates of cell death in the colon. Doesn't sound like an ideal natural solution, does it? In fact, the chronic use of these types of laxatives can lead to a blackening of the intestines, known as "melanosis coli". While scientists debate how harmful this blackening effect is - it should be considered by anyone using anthraquinone based laxatives. One study in the journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy reported that the colon cells in patients with melanosis coli had a high proportion of dead cells compared to controls. Stimulant laxatives are not just in the natural market though. Many popular constipation treatments use Bisacodyl, which is a stimulant that has been found to causes changes in the absorptive cells of the colon as well as the nerves of the colon. In summary, it is best to avoid band-aid solutions like stimulant laxatives that risk damaging your colon over the long-term. Opt for a natural constipation treatment that works by balancing your body – not stimulating it and you’ll feel better AND stay regular! |
