What drawbacks are there to using Polyethylene Glycol for Constipation?
For the most part, studies on the safety of PEG have shown it to be safe for human consumption. There are some limited studies showing that PEG can increase adenomatous tumors in the colons of rats – which should be considered when looking at long-term usage. But ultimately the decision to use polyethylene glycol versus a natural laxative is a difference in philosophy. A quality natural laxative like StayRegular addresses not only the symptoms of constipation, but also its underlying causes. Let’s compare some of the ingredients to see how this philosophical difference plays out.
