Aloe Lax 225 Natural Herbal Laxative - Gentle Relief for Occasional Constipation, Gas, & Bloating with 225mg Natural Aloe Ferox - Supports Bowel Regularity & Colon Health - 180 Capsules

How to take this supplement: For the first three days, eat an earlier dinner to reduce the chances of passing poo before sleeping. Take 1 pill with dinner to reduce bloating/gas and support regular BMs (bowel movements) daily. There are 180 capsules in this bottle, so it should last about 6 months if you take this dosage. Read below for more information. For its use as a laxative, take on an empty stomach with water. The urge to use the nearest restroom should be felt about 2-3 hours after it was taken (from my experience). It may occur that you need to use the toilet earlier, so staying near a bathroom for the next 3 hours would be a wise decision. Day 1: I just received this in the mail today, and used the product before going to bed after reading some reviews. Having little laxative experience, this made me awaken around 3 hours later, to pass some stool. My ears actually popped without self-inducement, it really opened up. I don't know if this is related to the product but it was well around the time I felt it scraping my intestines. I feel less bloated too, so that's a plus. So, I hopped on the toilet, and waited. I had a burning sensation and figured it may have been the chopped clove of garlic I swallowed before going to bed. Wrong, it was my spicy dinner! Talk about your body taking revenge! Albeit the whole process was a bit unpleasant, I felt some relief after finishing my business. I'm doing this to aid my digestion and support my parasite cleanse (currently with DE). I'll keep you updated. Day 2: I had Pho with my Mother at a restaurant, then came home. Around an hour after dinner was consumed I took 1 pill. It took 2 hours for my body to do its business, and I passed more. I noticed recently that I get bloated a lot after eating food, but this time it wasn't the case. I had much less gas, and no problems passing matter into the bowl. I also read that an overgrowth of candida can be the culprit for the indigestion, among other problems that I have yet to resolve. You can tell that you have an overgrowth of the yeast if you check your tongue in the morning before brushing your teeth and you find a white film on it. You may want to consult your doctor or look up alternative ways to proceed with treatment. I'm not going to go to my doctor for this, but I did come across some good information on Youtube. Look up Dr. Axe's channel, he has a lot of informative videos about common problems with step-by-step procedures on how to solve them without relying on drugs or paying a pretty penny to cure it. If you take a look at the comments section in his videos, you will find even more useful information by people who share their own experiences and solutions too. Update: I would also like to add that I have eczema which is associated with leaky gut syndrome, so I'm using this to help tame my eczema and clean out my colon. Regular bowel movements and little to no bloating is great after taking the pill. However, after taking this pill last night, I noticed that the effects for bloating and gas reduction is not as effective this morning than the time I took it. I think this will improve over time though, my pipes need some fixing. Days 3-5: Over the next few days, I noticed that even as I take the pill with dinner, then I don't have to worry about passing stool in the next 2-3 hours. My guess is that in the first 2-3 days that you take this pill, it is pushing out all the stuff your body had trouble doing on its own. Which explains why you may use the bathroom 2-3 hours later after taking one pill. I recommend eating an early dinner for the first 3 nights you take this pill, 4+ hours before you usually go to sleep. That way, you can use the bathroom 2-3 hours before, and have 1+ hour to yourself. After you have completed those 3 days, you may or may not need to repeat this step because we all have different problems with our bodies which require different solutions to maintain or fix them. Three days is just a rough estimate. Fortunately, it only took me 2 days. I would also like to add that the original "spicy food warning" is valid for the first 3 days, so try to avoid anything harmful to your stomach/intestine lining (ie. including alcohol, spicy foods, sugar, processed foods, and other "junk" categories). I will call these first 3 days the "cleanse" stage because that's what it's trying to do for you, help remove things that should not be sitting in your body too long. After completing your cleanse, I recommend taking this pill with dinner to help with bloating/gas you may have. Other reviews have mentioned that you can take it in the morning too, but I think that's too much unless you absolutely need it. I think that after cleansing, taking it once per night is good to maintain regular BMs. However, diet plays a huge role in how you feel. If you have any food sensitivities (allergies) then I suggest finding out what they are. I heard that you can take a test that will tell you what they are, but I haven't tried it myself yet. After contacting my health care provider, they said that if you suspect you have a certain allergen, then they can test you for it. Unfortunately, there's no magical blood test that will list all your allergies, yet. But perhaps I'm wrong, and there is! You just gotta look for it (and tell me afterwards). Drink lots of water while you're cleansing, this will help soften and hydrate your BMs (bowel movements) so you have a comfortable experience. Though, you should continue drinking more water throughout the day for the rest of your life because it's just that good for you. Clean filtered water is recommended over tap water sources. If you check out my profile you can find my review on APEC, which is an excellent brand to go with if you're looking for a water filter for drinking. Update: My eczema rashes are clearing up quite nicely. I'm avoiding grains (bread/rice) and raw fish right now, and I feel great. I recently found out that I was allergic to grains after noticing a flare up (rashes turn red and scaly). I choose to avoid raw fish right now to reduce parasites/worms from my body in preparation for a more complete parasite cleanse. I will summarize what I have been using to help with my skin problems, and hopefully they can help you too (check the comments for what has been working for me lately). Days 6 and beyond: After taking this pill daily I noticed that my bloating and gas are at manageable levels, which is good. But I found that the dosage may be too strong because I've been having loose stool lately. It's been regular which is great, but I'm starting to think that it can be taken every other day after your cleanse to solidify your BMs. I will continue to take it every day for my parasite cleanse (I found some interesting things in the bowl). Honestly, it doesn't really bother me since my pipes are getting squeaky clean now and I feel a lot better. The runs are not constant, so it's quite convenient if you ask me. But if you think it will be uncomfortable and you're not using it for a parasite cleanse/detox, then I would recommend getting the lite version: Biodesign - Aloe Lite 150 mg 180 caps .

These are very helpful. They do not cause upset stomach but helpful with regularity. Easy to swallow. No taste and good value for your money.

Began taking this product two months ago and it is fantastic. I have tried daily regular intake of different brands of fiber supplements but none work as well as this product. Additionally, I’ve had zero negative side effects, like abdominal pain or discomfort, from this product … ever. I highly recommend it if you have an irregular bowel situation.

My dad was having some bloating and constipation issues and nothing else worked but this. It helped me years ago and occasionally I need to use it. It took care of my dad's issue and he's so grateful!

I've tried a lot of products from teas to pills and juices. This is the best product that is so gentle, and yet, very effective. This is my go to when in need of extra help. There is absolutely no cramping.

I’ve used this product for years and highly recommend it and Bio-Design. I never write extended reviews, but this time it’s more than warranted after the kind, considerate and prompt response I received after a mix-up with USPS. After an unexpected glitch—not the fault of Bio-Design or Amazon—Bio-Design went above and beyond to remedy the situation. These days there are far more bad reviews than good and it’s important to let others know about quality companies providing excellent products and service. This review represents my full satisfaction with Bio-Design and its products. I will continue to purchase this product for years to come. Thank You.

This product has worked wonders for my family! There isn't a gentle was to describe this product without getting very technical. Those reading who are offended by pooh should go on to the next review because this product is all about getting regular. My 8 yr old granddaughter wasn't having bowl movements but every 8-10 days, then preventing it because of the dreaded pain of eliminated compacted feces. Doctors were telling my daughter this was normal...NOT! These pills have changed her life! She's had to adjust the quantity she's been taking several times - starting out with larger doses than what is listed on the bottle - just til she got regular ( having one BM a day). The family eats healthy - no white breads and starchy foods which would contribute to constipation...diet didn't eliminate the problem. But with Aloe, we now have a happier young lady with no more stomach pain and ripped fissures. Now three family members are using Aloe regularly to maintain normal body function.

I use it to help me with digestion, it’s not agresive with my stomach. I usually have one in the morning after breakfast and another after lunch. Or just 2 after lunch depending of what I had for lunch. It works perfect for me
