Description
Foster & Thrive Liquid Mineral Oil 99.9% — 16 oz Laxative
When occasional constipation or stubborn dry stools slow you down, Foster & Thrive Liquid Mineral Oil offers a simple, time-tested solution — helping soften stool, ease bowel movements, and restore your digestive comfort with gentle, effective relief.
How It Works — Gentle, Lubricating Relief for Constipation
- Lubricates & Softens Stool for Easier Bowel Movements
- As a lubricant-type laxative, mineral oil coats the stool and the walls of the intestines with a silky layer that helps retain moisture. This prevents hard, dry stools and reduces friction — making it easier and more comfortable to pass stool.
- Effective for Occasional Constipation or Irregularity
- If you’re dealing with occasional difficulty with bowel movements — perhaps due to low fiber intake, dehydration, travel, or a temporary change in habits — this product can help get your digestion back on track.
- Relatively Gentle, Non-Stimulant Approach
- Unlike stimulant laxatives that force bowel movement by ramping up intestinal contractions, mineral oil works by lubrication and softening — which tends to feel gentler and less disruptive for many people.
What You Get — Practical, Easy-Use Supply
- Large 16 oz Bottle — provides substantial supply, suitable for occasional use when needed. The liquid format makes it easy to measure doses and store conveniently.
- Over-the-Counter Convenience — available without a prescription, making it accessible for adults seeking immediate, safe relief from occasional constipation.
- Flexible Use — taken orally according to label instructions (or as healthcare-provider directed), offering a straightforward approach to restoring regularity when problems arise.
Who This Laxative Is For
- Foster & Thrive Liquid Mineral Oil is ideal for:
- Adults experiencing occasional constipation, irregularity, or hard/dry stools.
- Individuals who prefer a gentler, non-stimulating laxative option over stronger stimulant or osmotic laxatives.
- People whose diet, hydration, or lifestyle may not always support regular bowel movements (e.g., during travel, busy work periods, or low-fiber diets).
- Anyone seeking a simple, reliable, and easy-to-use laxative to keep on hand for occasional digestive support.
Important Use & Safety Notes
- Mineral oil should be used only occasionally and short-term — long-term regular use can lead to dependence on laxatives, reduced bowel function, or impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
- It’s recommended to take on an empty stomach and at bedtime, and avoid taking it with meals or immediately before/after other medications, to prevent interference with absorption.
- Common mild side-effects may include stomach cramps, nausea, oily discharge, or rectal leakage — especially if dosage or timing is incorrect.
- Avoid use (or consult a healthcare provider) if you have swallowing difficulties, are bedridden, or are pregnant — and always consult a doctor if constipation persists or if you experience rectal bleeding or severe abdominal pain.
