Buy Normacol Plus Granules 500g Online
Normacol Plus granules are used to relieve constipation. It provides bulk in the bowel where it's needed and not in the stomach. This avoids the feeling of fullness or bloating, which can occur with some gel-forming products.
Normacol Plus granules contain sterculia, a natural fibre product and frangula bark, a natural gentle laxative. Sterculia is a vegetable gum obtained from the karaya tree.
Frangula Bark is a traditional herbal laxative. Together these two ingredients act by providing dietary fibre and additional laxative effect to bring natural relief from constipation.
