Description
Colax is a gentle bowel cleansing formula containing Cascara, Dandelion, Yellow Dock, Dill seed and Chamomile to help maintain healthy intestinal function.
These herbs have been traditionally used in herbal preparations to:
• Support healthy bowel function
• Assist in stimulating the bowel in order to support healthy elimination
• Cleanse the lower digestive tract
• Help relieve occasional gas, and associated temporary mild digestive discomfort*
The combination of herbs in Colax provides a range of compounds including several essential oils (containing monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and especially α-bisabolol), flavonoids, anthraquinone glycosides, sesquiterpene lactones, phenolic acids and sterols.
German or true Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) contains a range of essential oil components and high levels of flavonoids. A wide variation in the levels of these constituents is found between different chemical races or varieties of Chamomile. Some varieties do not contain alpha-bisabolol which is an important active component. MediHerb has selected a variety of Chamomile which contains alpha-bisabolol for use in MediHerb products. Alpha-bisabolol is detected by Gas Chromatography (GC). Please be aware Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile = Anthemis nobilis) can be an adulterant in, or substituted for, true Chamomile and should be avoided due to allergic reactions.
