How Andrews Salts works to relieve constipation

The active ingredients in Andrews Salts work through different mechanisms to provide effective relief. Magnesium sulphate acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into your intestines to soften stools and stimulate bowel movements. This helps to relieve the discomfort associated with constipation whilst encouraging natural elimination.

The sodium hydrogen carbonate component helps to neutralise excess stomach acid, which can contribute to digestive discomfort. When combined with citric acid, these ingredients create the characteristic effervescent action that makes the medicine pleasant to take and aids absorption.

Who can benefit from Andrews Salts

Andrews Salts is suitable for adults and children over 3 years who experience occasional constipation or digestive upset. You may find it particularly helpful if you suffer from irregular bowel movements, stomach discomfort, or the bloating that often accompanies constipation. Many people also use it for general digestive support during periods of dietary changes or travel.

This laxative powder is especially beneficial for those who prefer a gentle approach to constipation relief. The effervescent formulation makes it easy to take and the lemon flavour helps mask any medicinal taste.

Storage and shelf life considerations

You should store your Andrews Salts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its effectiveness. Keep the tin tightly closed between uses to prevent moisture from affecting the powder's quality. The product has a long shelf life when stored correctly, making it a practical addition to your medicine cabinet for occasional use.

Always check the expiry date before use and replace the product if it has passed its use-by date. If the powder becomes hard or changes colour, this may indicate moisture damage and you should obtain a fresh supply.
