Castor Oil Softgels
Brand: Baar Nature's Blessing
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active ingredient, Castor Oil, functions as a potent stimulant laxative. Upon ingestion, it is hydrolyzed by intestinal bacteria into ricinoleic acid. This fatty acid binds to prostaglandin receptors on the smooth muscles of the small intestine and colon. This binding triggers strong peristaltic contractions, accelerating gut motility and pushing contents through the digestive tract. The addition of Fennel oil may help soothe the gastrointestinal lining, potentially mitigating cramping often associated with laxative use.
