Irregular bowel movements or hard stools can significantly disrupt your daily rhythm and cause an uncomfortable feeling. When your natural balance falters, you often feel less vital and energetic. Lactulose Mylan offers responsible support by mildly drawing water into the intestines, which softens the stool and facilitates passage without the product being absorbed by your body.
- Facilitates bowel movements by drawing water into the intestines, which ensures softer stools.
- Supports natural passage without being absorbed into the bloodstream, which contributes to safe operation.
- Suitable for the whole family, including young children and infants under medical supervision.
- Easy to fit into your morning routine due to the possibility of mixing with water or fruit juice.
How it works
Lactulose is a laxative that belongs to the group of osmotic laxatives. Unlike stimulants, lactulose works by increasing the osmotic pressure in the large intestine. This keeps more moisture in the intestinal cavity, which makes the intestinal contents more voluminous and softer. This process stimulates natural bowel movement in a mild way. As your trusted health partner, VitAdvice offers this product as a reliable solution for situations where extra support for digestion is desired.
