Keys to restoring normal bowel function

-

POOR diet, lack of exercise and stressful lifestyles are usually common causes of irregular bowel movements, increasing the chances of toxins accumulati­ng in the colon.

Frequent use of laxatives can cause the bowel to become dependent on the use and lose its normal function. This eventually leads to a condition known as “lazy bowel syndrome”, whereby bowels move slowly or sluggishly.

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

Consumers are advised to be cautious when using laxatives containing senna or cassia, even though they are usually marketed as natural. Diets high in soluble and insoluble fibres with plenty of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) are keys to improving bowel movement and restoring gut function.

Biogrow ProGut is made from all-natural Swedish oat fibre – a dual-action formula that provides sufficient­ly high fibres from oat BG22 fibre powder.

The product also contains a BB-12 probiotic strain from Denmark called B. lactis.

It is 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 of an improved intestinal function and a balanced gut microbiota.

Take one sachet (about 7g) mixed in a glass of cold water or fruit juice, or sprinkle on cereal and yoghurt.

Taking one to two sachets a day is recommende­d after meals or anytime it’s convenient. Each sachet contains 2.4g of soluble and insoluble fibres and a guaranteed potency of one billion CFU of live probiotic cultures.

Biogrow ProGut is suitable for anyone who wants to maintain or improve gut health. It offers a drug-free way to manage bowel movement with the power of fibre and probiotics.

Biogrow ProGut is available in all major pharmacies nationwide.
