Why supplement?

Marked asPrimarySupporting

Primary

Promote bowel movement with sorbitol

Dried-prune sugar alcohols take water and are fermented by microbes; phenolics also stimulate the gut wall. People with infrequent stools more often notice whether movement takes effort after several continuous days. Sorbitol fermentation makes gas and softens stool; straining often falls first.

Supporting

Support midlife bone mineral density

Prune trials watch post-menopausal bone-density markers; mechanisms include phenolics and boron. People watching bone more often notice diet completeness and stamina after several continuous weeks. Bone markers need a lab test; everyday life only uses stamina as a rough check.
