Occasional constipation is a common condition, caused in part by poor diet and lifestyle. The prevalence of refined sugars and carbohydrates and the low presence of fiber in the modern diet has been linked to the slowing of bowel transit time and the alteration of the colonic environment. Dietary fiber, which is mostly obtained from plant foods, consists of the indigestible portion of the plant while the sugars, starches and vitamins are broken down into nutrients and absorbed by our intestines. These cell walls of plants are not digested and become the bulk or roughage component of the stool, which help maintain bowel health and regularity. Psyllium in Ready! Set! Go! is comprised of soluble fiber (71% by weight), which has a high water-holding capacity, thus serving to increase stool frequency and weight. The additional blend of other fibers in the formula makes it effective for ongoing regularity, as well as overall gastrointestinal health.
