Product Overview:
GoodSense Polyethylene Glycol 3350 Powder is an over-the-counter (OTC) osmotic laxative designed to relieve occasional constipation. This powder formula is known for its effectiveness in providing gentle and predictable relief by drawing water into the colon, which helps soften stools and makes bowel movements easier.
Key Features:
- Active Ingredient:
- Contains Polyethylene Glycol 3350, a commonly used and clinically proven osmotic laxative that helps retain water in the stool, making it easier to pass.
- The powder provides a gentle yet effective solution for occasional constipation without causing harsh cramping or sudden urgency, making it a suitable option for daily use as directed.
- Unlike stimulant laxatives, GoodSense Polyethylene Glycol 3350 is non-habit forming, meaning it can be used regularly for short periods without the risk of dependency.
- The powder is unflavored, allowing it to be easily mixed with any beverage, such as water, juice, or a smoothie, without altering the taste. This flexibility ensures that it can be taken conveniently at any time of the day.
- The 8.3 oz container offers a generous supply, providing multiple doses to manage constipation over an extended period.
