COLAC is a famous constipation medicine in Japan, but sometimes, it works too effectively, and some people might end up having diarrhea after taking it. However, COLAC Herb is gentler on our body, as it uses herbs as its main ingredients, so the possibility of diarrhea is almost none. If you suffer from constipation, the best time to take COLAC Herb is before you go to bed, so you can enjoy its efficacy in the morning before you go somewhere.
