The Main Benefit Is: Digestive Regularity Support

Digestive regularity support is basically the normal movement of waste through your digestive tract, helping comfy daily bowel function.

This formula focuses on castor oil, a fatty oil derived from castor beans, with fennel oil included to support gut comfort. The main benefit comes from castor oil's action in the GI tract, providing a gentle, targeted effect for occasional constipation relief.

What Does Digestive Regularity Support Do?

This combination helps encourage bowel movement by firing up intestinal smooth muscle activity via ricinoleic acid, a main component of castor oil. Fennel oil may contribute extra GI comfort, helping overall digestive function in line with expert knowledge of castor oil's traditional use.

Dr. Izzo from the University of Naples found that castor oil is effective for short-term relief of constipation and improving bowel transit time.
