An older reader’s colon loses tone causing dry, hard stool and weak urge to go. The new COLONAID laxative targets the lower colon with three actions: prevent drying waste, rebulk and tone muscles, and stimulate nerve reflexes for the mass movement. Clinically gentle and safe for expectant mothers, it does not interfere with nutrient absorption. Introductory size 43.
