If taken in water/juice it will expand in your stomach. You will not/can not eat as much, thus losing weight will happen. It is an aid for constipation. You get 2 benefits for the price of one. Be Aware: All laxatives can be addictive as with most other things.

The label on the bottle warns about the laxative effects but says that it is safe to consume.

Yes on the bottle it states that it is Expeller-Pressed which is AKA for cold pressed. You really should use the cold pressed if your using it for OCM or something else for the skin. Also if your consuming it, I believe it can be used as a laxative, not sure what other internal uses it has, I use mine as external only.

Malitol, it can mildly laxate you. Anyway the chocolates are really good, either the milk chocolates or the dark ones. I store the box in the fridge.

It is better as a preventative than an after-the-fact; however, with a cup of hot tea, it melts better in the tummy, and the liquid helps, also. Combined with a stool softener and a laxative pill, it works better in combination than any of those products alone. Fiber softens hard stools over a period of time, not right away. Taken daily, there are fewer episodes of constipation.

Yes, that is the magnesium and it is like a cleansing. That also happened to me but finally it all settled down to a normal pattern. It will eliminate constipation if you've ever suffered from it for sure. It also helps to visit their website to understand the product more fully. Www. Jigsawhealth.com. I've been on the jigsaw complete for almost a year, it is an excellent product! I'll never get off of it.

I had normal bowel movements once a day and there was no real urge to go to the bathroom like most laxatives do. I expected better results.

I have read that information also and when I presented this to my GI Doc with his knowledge of my long-standing problems with IBS-C, he thought it was fine for me to use indefinitely. He actually said the thinking on use of some laxatives over time is changing, particularly for those who have not found other alternatives that work for them, so that this would be acceptable in that situation. I have used it for a number of years without a problem or need to increase the dose. It is best to try other things like drinking more water, using more fiber first, but for some, those measures do not work.

Yes it is. If you have any poultry allergies, I would use a synthetic hyluronic acid since there are several options available.

I am not sure but I want to say that it is. This product did an amazing job for me. It helped me heal from a shoulder injury. I did not expect the results I got because I started taking it for a totally different purpose. But within weeks I noticed less stiffness in my joints, better tone to my skin and a much faster rate of healing. Try it.

I assume it is but I do not know. I have been taking the product for a year or more and get very good results from it.

Yes it does! I have used it for two years recommended by my doctor and LOVE IT! I took it twice a day for the first two weeks, then once a day after and started feeling results within the first week. It has a lemon-lime taste which I liked too. I haven't tried any other digestive enzyme product because I have had awesome results with this one!

I don't know the official answer, but I wouldn't do it. Two things come to mind: 1. Possible chemical interaction (natural things are chemicals as well - just not "synthetic" chemicals) 2. A waste of good vitamins, as the C.K.L.S. acts in a mild laxative way - flushing those vitamins right down the toilet!
