Key to healthier living

-

A POOR diet, lack of exercise and stressful lifestyle are usually the common causes of irregular bowel movement, which will increase chances of toxins accumulati­ng in the colon.

Laxative and lazy bowel syndrome

Frequent use of laxative can cause the bowels to become dependent and lose its normal function, which eventually leads to a condition known as “lazy bowel syndrome” in which our bowels move very slowly or sluggishly.

Chronic use of laxatives depletes our body of minerals, hydration and disrupts our gut microbiota.

Consumers are advised to be cautious when using laxatives which contain Senna or Cassia, even though they are usually marketed as natural.

A diet high in soluble and insoluble fibres with plenty of beneficial bacteria can help to improve bowel movement and restore gut function.

Biogrow ProGut is made from natural Swedish oat fibre formulated with Dual Action from Oat BG22 fibre powder and B. lactis, BB-12 probiotic strain from Denmark – the world’s best documented Bifidobact­erium with over 300 scientific publicatio­ns including over 130 clinical studies (informatio­n provided by Chr. Hansen A/S, Denmark).

One sachet daily provides a synergisti­c effect for an improved intestinal function and a balanced gut microbiota.

Take one sachet (≈ 7g), and mix in a glass of cold water, fruit juice or sprinkle onto cereal and yogurt. One to two sachets a day is recommende­d after meals or at any convenient time.

Each sachet contains 2.4g soluble and insoluble fibres and a guaranteed potency of one billion CFU of live probiotic cultures.

Biogrow ProGut is suitable for those who wish to maintain or improve gut health as it offers a drug-free way to manage bowel movement with the power of fibre and probiotics. It is now available in all pharmacies nationwide.
