GLP-1 stopped your appetite. It also stopped everything else.
Planta Lax restores what your medication slowed down.

The colon's nerve signal gets turned off.
Your colon has its own nervous system — little nerves in the wall that tell the muscles to squeeze and push things along. GLP-1 medications activate receptors on those nerves and basically tell them to quiet down. Less signal = less squeezing = nothing moves.
Everything dries out.
The longer stool sits in your colon, the more water your colon pulls out of it. On top of that, GLP-1s suppress your thirst — so you're not drinking enough without realising it. The result is stool that gets progressively harder the longer it sits there.
Gas gets trapped.
Your gut is always fermenting what's inside it — that's normal. But in a moving colon, gas passes through. In a stalled one, it just builds up. That's why GLP-1 patients eat a fraction of what they used to and still feel like a balloon.
Why Most Laxatives Don't Work for GLP-1 Constipation
| Solution | What It Does | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber & Water | Adds bulk and softness to stool | Only addresses slowed transit — worsens gas and bloating |
| Bisacodyl (Ex-Lax, Dulcolax) | Forces harsh contractions | Works on one mechanism only — causes cramping |
| Osmotic Laxatives (Miralax) | Pulls water into the colon | Softens stool but doesn't restore movement — requires daily use |
| Planta Lax | Multi-pathway herbal formula | Restores rhythm, triggers contractions, relieves gas, coordinates movement |
7 Pharmaceutical-Grade Herbs — Each One Targets a Different Problem
| Ingredient | % | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Senna (Sennosides) | 28% | Triggers the natural overnight contractions your medication suppressed |
| Cascara Sagrada | 17% | Restores the rhythm and timing of colon movement |
| Chamomile | 10% | Prevents cramping by coordinating poorly-timed contractions |
| Coriander | 10% | Relieves gas and bloating caused by slow-moving waste |
| Fennel | 6% | Reduces pressure and distension in the abdomen |
| Peppermint | 4% | Soothes the digestive tract and reduces spasms |
| Star Anise | 2% | Relieves discomfort and supports smooth digestion |

Common Questions
Yes. Fiber and Miralax only address one of the five ways GLP-1 medications affect your colon. Planta Lax works on all five mechanisms — restoring rhythm, triggering contractions, relieving gas, and coordinating movement.
Ex-Lax and Dulcolax (bisacodyl) force harsh contractions on a colon that's already poorly coordinated — which causes cramping. Planta Lax uses chamomile to coordinate the contractions, so you get relief without the pain.
Overnight. Drink it before bed, and the sennosides activate 6–12 hours later — triggered by your first morning meal or drink. Most people go within 30–60 minutes of waking up.
You can, but most GLP-1 users don't need to. Constipation on Ozempic or Mounjaro happens episodically — every 1–2 weeks, or after dose escalations. Use Planta Lax when it happens, not daily.
No. Planta Lax works on the colon, not on GLP-1 receptors. There's no pharmacological overlap with tirzepatide or semaglutide. It addresses the side effect without affecting the medication itself.
Move to 7 minutes. Steep time controls the dose — longer steep = more sennosides extracted. Start with 5 minutes (standard overnight), and adjust based on your response. You control the strength.
Yes, when used episodically. Senna-based laxatives have been used for decades with a strong safety profile. Unlike osmotic laxatives (which cause electrolyte imbalance), Planta Lax works by restoring natural colon function — not forcing dependency.
