Product introduction
Naturolax A is an orange-flavoured powder built around isabgol (psyllium) husk, a plant fibre long used in Indian households for sluggish bowels. It is an Ayurvedic-style formulation sold over the counter and is meant to be stirred into water and drunk. Lemon-derived satva and a purified alkali salt are blended in to support digestion and ease gas.
Storage: Store at or below 30 degrees C and protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Uses of Naturolax A Powder (Tasty Orange)
- Constipation.
- Indigestion.
- Flatulence and gas relief.
Benefits of Naturolax A Powder (Tasty Orange)
The main benefit is gentle, fibre-based relief from constipation. Isabgol soaks up water in the gut and makes stools softer and bulkier, so they pass more easily. The added ingredients are included to help with indigestion and trapped gas, and the orange flavour makes the drink easier to take regularly than plain husk.
Side effects of Naturolax A Powder (Tasty Orange)
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Bloating or wind, especially in the first few days.
- Stomach cramps.
- Loose stools if taken in excess.
- Feeling of fullness or nausea if not enough water is taken with it.
How to use Naturolax A Powder (Tasty Orange)
Stir one measure (about 5.6 g, roughly one spoon) into around 200 ml of water, mix well and drink straight away before it thickens. Use only the amount on the label or advised by your physician, and do not exceed it. Drink plenty of other fluids through the day. Not intended for children.
How Naturolax A Powder (Tasty Orange) works
Isabgol husk is a soluble fibre that swells into a soft gel when mixed with water. This adds bulk and moisture to the stool and makes it easier to pass, which helps regular bowel movements. The other ingredients in the blend are traditionally used to support digestion and reduce gas.
