ColonTone uses two proven ingredients to help improve bowel motility and tonicity in people with occasional constipation.** Magnesium hydroxide, a well-known ingredient in laxative and antacid formulas, works by osmosis, drawing water from surrounding tissues to the intestines. This local increase of water not only softens the stool but also has a positive influence on the volume of the feces, which promotes intestinal motility.**
 
Triphala, a classic formula in Ayurvedic medicine, consists of the three fruits, amalaki, bibhitaki, and haritaki. Amalaki (known as Indian gooseberry or amla) is a strong natural antioxidant and is considered one of the best rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda. In addition to laxative effects, Haritaki also has astringent properties and balances Vata. Bibhitaki offers both laxative and astringent properties. It eliminates excess mucous, balancing the Kapha dosha.**

ColonTone can be used for short periods of time as a fast-acting mild laxative for occasional constipation or as a daily bowel tonic.**

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take two capsules with eight ounces of water at bedtime, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
