Products that accelerate digestion

Pharmacist's advice

For a healthy and long-term solution to the problem of lazy bowels, it is very important not to rely your body exclusively on strong laxatives, as they can make the bowels lazy in the long run. Instead, choose fiber-rich preparations (like psyllium) and probiotics that restore the intestinal flora. Use herbal teas and drops based on senna or buckthorn only occasionally, for acute constipation, usually in the evening before bed. Along with the use of preparations that speed up digestion, it is absolutely essential to increase fluid intake, primarily water, as well as daily physical activity (such as a light walk), because moving the body directly stimulates bowel motility (peristalsis).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use digestion preparations every day?
Natural fibers, probiotics, and mild enzymes can be safely used every day. However, strong herbal laxatives (senna, bisacodyl) should be used only occasionally (no longer than 7 to 10 days continuously) to avoid bowel habituation.

2. How do probiotics help with slow digestion?
Probiotics introduce "good" bacteria into your intestines, establishing a balance of the intestinal microflora. They reduce bloating, gas, and facilitate the breakdown of food, which in the long run leads to more regular digestion and a faster metabolism.
