Metagenics Supplements For Constipation

Mineral Essentials

A comprehensive daily mineral supplement to support multiple bodily systems and address specific mineral requirements.

  • Stimulates Bowel Movements – Activates enzymes and stimulates peristalsis (wave-like contractions) to move stool through the intestines.
