Metagenics Laxatone is a four-herb stimulant laxative formulated to assist short-term relief of constipation, promote regular bowel movements and relieve flatulence and intestinal spasm.
Laxatone uses different dosing according to the level of bowel support required, so follow the labelled dose or your healthcare practitioner's recommendation rather than automatically taking the maximum dose.
For constipation relief, adults take 2 capsules per dose. For support of more regular bowel movements, the labelled dose is 1 capsule daily.
When using the constipation dose, take 2 capsules twice daily and maintain adequate fluid intake throughout the day.
Use only as needed or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Do not continue prolonged stimulant-laxative use without professional advice.

“The dosing instructions are very clear, which I appreciate. I use it only when needed and follow my practitioner’s advice rather than treating it like an everyday supplement.”
Leanne R.“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.”
Danielle C.“I wanted a practitioner herbal option for times when my bowel feels sluggish. The combination of cascara, ginger, chamomile and rhubarb is straightforward and the capsules are easy to take.”
