Establishing regular elimination is important to your health. The colon/bowel is the depository for all waste material after food nutrients have been extracted. The body normally excretes waste in 18 to 24 hours. Harmful toxins can form after this period. Daily bowel movements promote good colon health. Remember to exercise, drink plenty of fluids and eat high fiber food. When these efforts don't bring results, SENNALAX^® can be a welcome solution.
