Works great but is Propylene Glycol is it safe?

I've tried so many products over the years and Restoralax has been the best to help me with occasional constipation. It comes in a white powdered form which you can mix into your favourite drink or water. Doesn’t matter if it’s cold, hot or room temperature. It dissolves very fast and doesn’t leave any clumps or residue at all. The product is tasteless! There is no taste or odour to the powder so I love to add it to my smoothies once a day as I need it.

The lid is easy to unscrew and the cap has a measuring cup so you know exactly how much to take. You just fill the cap to the top of the white line. You actually use quite a bit of it in each glass, so don’t be fooled with how big the bottle is you don’t get a whole lot, it is meant for occasional use.

Restoralax contains Polyethylene glycol. It is used as a food additive and added to many different makeup and hygiene products now of days to increase the amount of water. Using it as a laxative will increase water in your intestinal tract and help stimulate bowel movements.

That all sounds great right? Think again! What I don’t like is the health concerns about toxic effects from eating it. You can find it in antifreeze and it’s said to cause seizures, vomiting, and some say even cancer. But none of this has been proven and the food authorities have declared it as generally safe for use in foods.

Although Restoralax works wonders for me I think I will be exploring more natural supplements in the future. I have been taking it for years because it was the only thing off the shelf and my doctor recommended it. The results are wonderful but definitely not something I want to keep taking.

Doesn't work.

I've tried this product several times in the hopes that it will work and unfortunately it just doesn't. I have even doubled up on the dosage taking it once in the morning and once in the afternoon unfortunately I do not recommend this product as it does not work.

I bought this and I didn't find it worked at all. It was expensive and ended up just being a waste of money unfortunately.

The product states that it dissolves quickly in pretty much any liquid you chose to mix it in, which is true. You just have to make sure you mix it very well. It does however make the liquid you just mixed it in, somewhat thicker. As for effectiveness, I think it could be much better but we are all different. There is no bloating or cramps but it is very expensive I find. If it was more effective I think it would be worth it but maybe it's just not the product for me. Overall it is not a bad product, it does work but the dosage has to be repeated over a few days, even though it says it may take up to 3 days to take effect. But like I said we are all different.
