What the Evidence Says

AI-generated · Qwen 3.6 · methodology

Magnesium is supported by strong evidence as an osmotic laxative that helps soften stools and promote regularity. Evidence for the proprietary Original Lax Blend is limited due to a lack of independent clinical data. Overall, the ingredient profile focuses on promoting bowel motility through established mineral-based mechanisms.
