Constipation Support Duo

This bundle is suitable for anyone experiencing mild to moderate constipation.

Constipation is something that most of us will experience at some point in our lives. According to NHS guidance, you are constipated if you have not had a bowel movement at least three times within a week, your stools are dry and hard, or you are straining when passing stools. There are a number of reasons why you might be constipated, including diet, dehydration, stress, medication, hormone fluctuations and a sedentary lifestyle. Our Constipation Support Bundle can help provide gentle relief and restore healthy bowel flora.

Both of the products in this bundle support digestive health in different ways, so taking both together provides optimal benefits if you’re suffering from constipation. Caricol® helps to provide acute constipation relief by regulating bowel movements, whilst Bactiol® Regular features a probiotic strain clinically-studied to support bowel regularity whilst providing ‘good’ bacteria to support a balanced microbiome and promote long-term gut health.

Caricol® is a tasty, fruit puree which is made from the pulp of tree-ripened papaya, which has long history in traditional medicine for aiding peristalsis and helping to speed up digestive transit time. It is naturally high in papain, a potent enzyme which helps to break down proteins, and studies have shown it to have soothing effects on the stomach and digestive tract.

Bactiol® Regular features Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis HN019, a bacteria strain which has been studied in over 40 clinical trials and has been proven to support daily bowel regularity and healthy microbiome balance.

Provided in convenient sachets, Caricol® is made from the pulp of tree-ripened papaya, and prepared to the original recipe used by the Lotus Buddhist Monastery on Big Island in Hawaii. The name Caricol® is derived from CARica papaya L. which is the botanical name for papaya; and COL, representing the colon, where traditional use suggests it has its most powerful effect.

Studies on the Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 strain show that after just 14 days, bowel regularity could be significantly enhanced and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and flatulence reduced¹. Bactiol® Regular also includes Vitamin D and Vitamin A to support immunity and the maintenance of mucous membranes in the gut.

Our live bacteria supplements have been scientifically validated as containing beneficial bacteria in a live state – meaning they will start working straight away for optimal efficacy and relief from symptoms. Our unique ProtectAir™ technology means they don’t all need to be kept in the fridge making them ideal for those travelling too. The amount of bacteria quoted is guaranteed up to the date of the product expiry rather than manufacture meaning the strength is likely to be considerably higher than advertised.
