This formula was handcrafted to astringe (clean) the inner wall of the intestines from mucoid plaque build-up around the fenestrated cells of the intestinal wall which blocks proper absorption of nutrients, Many humans have sulfur build-up as well. Remember the lymphatic system is always involved with malabsorption and any gastrointestinal condition/problem. This formula is not designed to move the bowels (maybe very gently). There is also some hepatic (liver) and pancreatic enhancement with all our bowel formulas. There are anti-inflammatory effects as well.
