Directions

RAPID RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION:
ADULTS - Take 4 capsules, 3 times daily, with a large glass of water but without food, for up to 3 days.
Stools may liquefy within 3-6 hours. Repeat in one month if necessary. (Easy access to a bathroom is advised for several hours after each serving is taken). Start with the mild dose below if you have never tried a laxative before. The rapid relief dose is immediate and strong, and may be accompanied by some discomfort eg griping, nausea and bloating with diarrhoea. Not suitable for children. Continue to drink plenty of water to encourage flushing effect.
FOR MILD CONSTIPATION:
ADULTS: Take 5 capsules daily at one time, with a large glass of water, away from food, for up to 2 weeks. Continue to drink plenty of water to encourage flushing effect.
CHILDREN: Take 2 capsules daily at one time, with a large glass of water, away from food, for up to 1 week. Drink plenty of water to encourage flushing effect.
Not suitable for children under 6 years of age.
With all kinds of laxatives, at least 6 to 8 glasses of water should be taken each day. This will help to make the stool softer and prevent dehydration.
MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTATION:
ADULTS: Take 1 capsule daily or as professionally advised. This dose will not have a laxative effect.

Cautions

Mg Lax™ is suitable to help the body clear temporary constipation. Ongoing use of Mg Lax™ at the laxative doses is not recommended. Chronic constipation may indicate more serious underlying conditions and we recommend you seek advice from a health professional. Treatment of constipation should also encompass a healthy diet, adequate fluids and exercise. A wholesome diet containing fibre (eg whole grain breads and cereals, legumes, bran, fresh vegetables and fruit), 6 to 8 full glasses of water each day, and daily exercise are vital for maintaining healthy bowel function. Avoidance of refined, sugary foods such as white bread, pastries, puddings, sweets, cake, and cheese is necessary as these foods may cause or worsen constipation
• This product is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women or those with kidney disease or gastroenteritis.
• Not suitable for children under 6 years of age except under the advice of a health professional.
• Laxatives should not be abused — do not take Mg Lax™ long-term at the laxative dose.
