What is The Natural Laxative (Aloelax)?
The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) is a natural, safe, phenolphthalein-free laxative made from the dried bitter fraction of the South African Cape Aloes plant (Aloe ferox). The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) has a double action of increasing gut movements (peristalsis) and lubrication. The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) is used for the short-term relief of moderate to severe constipation, for up to 10 days in adults and older children. Since The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) is made from Aloe, it has additional detox health benefits
How does The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) work?
The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) treats constipation in two ways by: - Stimulating bowel motion: The Aloe ferox plant extract increases the movement of the bowel (peristalsis): The active constituent of the cape aloe plant is called Aloin (an anthraquinone glycoside). Aloin is split by the normal bacteria in the large intestines to form another molecule called aloe-emodinanthrone (an aglycone), which exerts the laxative effect. Aloe increases motility and secretions of the colon and therefore increases propulsion and reduces transit time. It also causes fluids to be secreted into the bowel, helping to softening the stool.
- Lubricating motion: Stool motion is lubricated by the increased mucous secretions caused by the aloe. This results in pain-free ease of motion. The laxative effect of The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) is usually noticed within 8-10 hours.
Is The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) Safe?
Yes, The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) contains only natural plant and mineral ingredients. The ingredients in The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) have been proven to be safe in clinical trials.

Does The Natural Laxative (Aloelax) contain the cancer-causing ingredient, Phenolphthalein?
