Why should I take the FiberCon® brand versus other manufacturers' products? |
|
| FiberCon® comes in convenient caplets and is an easy way to relieve constipation and restore regularity for good digestive health. Each caplet has the natural action of fiber and contains no chemical stimulants or preservatives, so it works naturally to restore regularity and relieve constipation. The active ingredient in FiberCon®, Calcium Polycarbophil, does not ferment in the colon, and so does not cause painful or embarrassing gas. FiberCon® also contains 244mg of calcium per 2-caplet dose. | |
