Fiber supplements for constipation in women
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if two types of fiber—one from chicory and one from a plant husk—can help women with constipation move food through their intestines faster. It aims to find a gentle, non-drug option that might work better than what you eat now.
