Most of our colons do not look nearly as uniform and properly articulated as this one – unfortunately. For many of us, the colon is ballooned out in various places, especially at the “corners”. In other spots, this organ is apt to become very narrow, as in the transverse part of the colon.
BulkLax™
“Easy going”
BulkLax™ is our celebrated fibre formula used for the following main purposes:
• A bulk-forming laxative that promotes regularity
• A soothing demulcent for symptomatic relief of irritation of the gastric mucosa and for digestive complaints such as bloating, flatulence, intestinal cramping and irritable bowel syndrome
• Used as an adjuvant to a healthy diet in the treatment of mild to moderately high cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels
BulkLax™ contains ingredients with years of traditional use behind them and confirmed by modern clinical studies to be effective for promoting regularity of the bowels as well as soothing inflammation and irritation in the colon.
St. Francis Herb Farm®’s BulkLax™ is a bulk laxative with a difference. The difference lies with the herbs. The herbs included in this dry herbal formula help to stimulate the bile and soothe an irritated bowel, as well as aiding in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Not only is our BulkLax™ a soothing and effective laxative, but its fibre content offers the following valuable benefits as well:
• lowers insulin requirements and provides better control of blood glucose in diabetics ,
• significantly lowers cholesterol as well as serum triglycerides ,
• may lower blood pressure
• protects against coronary heart disease
• decreases appetite and helps to lower weight
• may reduce the likelihood of developing colon cancer
• improves regularity and reduces straining
• reduces diarrhoea by increasing the intestinal transit time of the bowel contents
• relieves irritable bowel syndrome
• maintains remission in ulcerative colitis
• relieves haemorrhoids
Bulk laxatives act like a “bottle brush”: they expand the prolapsed parts of the colon and scour the waste left in crevices or in areas of diverticulosis. In ballooned out locations, large amounts of mucus often accumulate. The bulk laxative assists in ridding the body of this as well.
St. Francis Herb Farm® has marketed BulkLax™ to health food stores and natural pharmacies for over 10 years, garnering considerable praise for its effectiveness in terms of the claims stated.
