Characteristics

Features 1

Magnesium hydroxide laxative that softens stools to prevent straining

POINT

Absorbs water to soften stools

Laxatives that use magnesium hydroxide, which are also called saline laxatives, act on stool rather than the intestines. They do not stimulate the intestines, but rather collect water and soften stools, which promotes passage without straining.

Features 2

Non-stimulant and unlikely to become habit-forming

POINT

Acts on stool, not the intestines

There are two major types of laxatives: stimulant laxatives, which energize intestinal movement by stimulating the mucous membranes of the intestines, and non-stimulant laxatives, which soften stools by incorporating water into them. BORRAGINOL® Smooth magnesium hydroxide is a non-stimulant laxative.
Because it does not directly stimulate the intestines, it is safe and not habit-forming, even if taken repeatedly.
