Fiber and Laxative Caplets and Tablets
Don’t let constipation slow you down. There are many products available for the treatment of constipation.
Fiber and
laxatives are used in remedying the effects of constipation, which are infrequent or hard stools, straining in effort to expel stools or the incomplete emptying of bowels.
Fiber is an indispensable part of a healthy diet that includes fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains. Fiber, which is indigestible plant material, helps push undigested food through the gastrointestinal tract as it passes through. Fiber is generally used for the treatment of constipation. When fiber binds with water inside the intestines, the fiber bulks up the stool, and the water softens it. This then allows for a smooth bowel movement to occur. Fiber also helps to lower cholesterol and keep blood sugar levels stabilized. Experts recommend 25seed'>psyllium seed which is used in
Metamucil and
methylcellulose is used in
Citrucel.
Laxatives
Laxatives are substances either taken orally or in
children.
During the process of digestion, the large intestine and colon absorbs water and holds undigested food until it is defecated. Laxatives speed up the elimination of undigested food in the large intestine and colon. As a result of this process, laxatives do not aid in weight loss and the reduction of calories. Instead, misuse or overuse of laxatives leads to dehydration and imbalance of electrolytes. Whether you're taking fiber or laxatives, make sure to drink plenty of
water.
Tablets
Tablets, such as
Fiber Choice, is a chewable tablet recommended for adults.
Caplets
Caplets are tablets in the shape of capsules. Capsules contain powered ingredients in a hard shell or contain active ingredients suspended in oil in a soft gel capsule. They are easy to swallow but if you have problems swallowing pills, I would recommend chewable tablets.
Fiber Con Caplets help maintain regularity and lower cholesterol.
