OsmoAid™ Lactitol

Lactitol has also been used to promote gut mobility in constipated individuals.

Research & Clinical Studies

Unlike conventional laxatives OsmoAid™ Lactitol works gently by lowering colonic pH and stimulating peristalsis and increasing the osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen.

View Details

Alternative constipation treatment often is unpalatable. Yet our OsmoAid™ Lactitol offers an effective and more pleasant solution. OsmoAid™ works gently by:

Lowering colonic pH and stimulating peristalsis (the rippling and wave-lie motion that contracts and relaxes the bowel muscles)
Increasing the osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen, resulting in an increase in fecal volume.

Depending on age and individual needs, OsmoAid™ is best taken orally in doses between 150mg-40g/day. It is well tolerated and can be ingested by all age groups without any health concerns.

Available in a sweet-tasting, odorless crystalline powder, OsmoAid™ is widely recognized as a food ingredient for use in food products and dietary supplements, and has been approved by both the FAO and WHO.
