Metagenics Laxatone 30 capsules

Key Benefits

A clear look at what this product is designed to support.

Laxatone combines four traditional herbal extracts in a practitioner-formulated stimulant laxative designed for short-term constipation relief, bowel regularity and digestive comfort.

Constipation Relief

Cascara and the supporting herbal combination assist in the relief of constipation and help promote bowel evacuation when short-term stimulant laxative support is required.

Bowel Regularity

A lower once-daily dose may be used to help produce more regular bowel movements according to the current Metagenics directions.

Flatulence & Spasm Relief

The herbal formula helps relieve flatulence and intestinal spasm, supporting greater digestive comfort when bowel function is sluggish.

Traditional Herbal Bowel Support

Ginger, German chamomile, cascara and rhubarb provide complementary traditional herbal support within a focused bowel-health formula.

“My practitioner recommended Laxatone for occasional constipation rather than something I would take continuously. I like that the directions clearly explain the stronger short-term dose and the lower regularity dose.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question?

Helpful answers about this product, how to use it and what to know before purchasing.

What is Metagenics Laxatone used for?⌄

Laxatone is a herbal stimulant laxative designed to assist in the relief of constipation. It can also be used at a lower dose to help produce more regular bowel movements and is formulated to help relieve flatulence and intestinal spasm.

How do I take Laxatone?⌄

For constipation relief, adults take 2 capsules twice daily. To produce more regular bowel movements, adults take 1 capsule daily. Follow your healthcare professional's directions if they differ, and drink plenty of water.

Can I take Laxatone every day long term?⌄

Laxatone is not intended for prolonged stimulant-laxative use. Metagenics warns that prolonged use may cause serious bowel problems and notes that tolerance can develop with ongoing laxative use. Persistent constipation should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Does the new Laxatone formula contain cinnamon?⌄

No. The current new formula under ARTG 513986 contains ginger, German chamomile, cascara and rhubarb. Cinnamon was an active ingredient in the older ARTG 176365 formulation, so older retailer listings may still show five herbs.
