We conducted a fully decentralized clinical trial to explore the effects of vitamin C on constipation symptoms. Participants who experienced functional constipation were randomly assigned to receive either Lactobacillus with vitamin C or vitamin C alone over a two-week treatment period. The study allowed us to gather data remotely, which is quite innovative and accessible.
Looking specifically at the results from the group that received vitamin C, we observed that while there was an increase in the frequency of bowel movements compared to the control group, the isolated effect of vitamin C itself wasn't entirely clear. The combination treatment appeared to improve bowel regularity, but it was difficult to determine how much vitamin C contributed independently to these results.
Additionally, we found that about 67% of participants were diligent in tracking their bowel diary entries, which helped ensure the reliability of our findings to an extent. Yet, a significant portion of the records were not kept as scheduled, highlighting potential hurdles in data collection for decentralized trials.
Overall, our observations suggest that while vitamin C, especially when paired with Lactobacillus, may provide some benefits for those struggling with constipation, we should exercise caution before attributing all improvements solely to vitamin C.

Positive change noted

Since starting these, there’s been a huge positive change. I’ve tried everything for my 5-year-old’s severe constipation problems over the past four years. After discovering these gummies, we saw improvement almost immediately. My daughter is now nearly regular with no need for suppositories since starting these. They’re small, with only one needed for each dose. I highly recommend these gummies.

Good flavour, effective

Works well for constipation. The gummies have a pleasant flavour and are easy to chew. I use them for constipation, and they’re very effective—sometimes too much if you take two! A solid product.

Great value and flavour. These gummies are perfect for my 4-year-old with chronic constipation and tummy issues. They complement her Miralax and Ex-Lax well. I recommend them from one mum to another.
