Natural Remedies for Constipation

Natural Moves by Native Remedies comes in convenient tablet form and include the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage:

Aloe Ferox - A succulent and well known medicinal herb native to South Africa, Aloe Ferox has many different uses and writings from as early as 1500BC in Ancient Egypt document its medicinal uses. Amongst other benefits, Aloe Ferox is known for its beneficial effect on digestive functioning and as a natural laxative and remedy for constipation. It is also widely recommended for digestive complaints and for inflammatory digestive disorders like IBS and other inflammatory bowel diseases.

Taraxacum officinale - (Dandelion): Dandelion contains bitter principles which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. It aids digestion by stimulating the release of bile from the liver and also acts as a mild laxative. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and gall bladder functioning and may decrease high blood pressure due to its diuretic properties.

Passiflora incarnata - One of nature's safest and most effective tranquilizers, Passiflora also helps to relax and to relieve muscle tension. High tension levels, anxiety and stress are often implicated in people suffering from chronic constipation and other digestive complaints. Passiflora is included in Natural Moves to enhance the effects of Aloe Ferox and Taraxacum officinale.

Tips for Choosing Nutritional Supplements

Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients work best when they're combined in a way that mimics nature as closely as possible. Look for nutritional supplements that have nutrients combined to make use of the natural synergy between them.

Companies willing to give a full disclosure and description of their ingredients have usually put more effort and research into their product. For example, instead of just saying "Calcium" the label should be more detailed like this: "Calcium (from 2430 mg Citrate, Malate, Ester-C)". This description indicates that higher quality ingredients and more up-to-date research was used for the supplement.

Produced at pharmaceutical GMP (good manufacturing practices) facilities
In the United States, nutritional supplements are regulated as a food product rather than the more restrictive regulations that drugs fall under. Currently, compliance to GMP standards is voluntary so it's important to do your own research to verify that macro-biological testing is done at every stage of production to make sure that the lab did not contaminate the product.

(This issue shouldn't be taken lightly - studies by Consumerlab have shown that some supplements don't have the true amount of ingredients as stated on the label, or may harbor toxic contaminants.)

Pharmaceutical grade supplements (sometimes called nutriceuticals) are made for "professional" use in the health care field by natural health care providers and consumers who want the best.
