| Core Tip |
Functional constipation (FC) significantly affects the quality of life of patients due to symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating. Conventional treatments often fail, necessitating alternative therapies. Phytotherapeutic product KiwiBiotic has emerged as a promising alternative treatment for FC, abdominal pain, and bloating, offering superior efficacy, improved quality of life, and higher patient satisfaction than conventional options such as psyllium husk. Its effectiveness in symptom relief, demonstrated in more than 90% of patients, highlights its potential as a safe and comprehensive therapeutic option. |
