This is the only thing I'm taking for constipation. The trick is finding the right dosage to move from constipation toward regularity without moving to loose stools or diarrhea. It is a moving target.

Advice & Tips
I have no idea if this worked for me. It could have been placebo honestly. The only reason I was taking this was for muscle tension and because I heard it would help my skin/acne. I don't know if it did really. I don't think it hurts though, considering from several studies the average American is deficient in this.
