Bowel Regularity: What “Regular” Actually Means
Bowel habits vary among healthy people. Changes in frequency, consistency, discomfort and your own baseline can matter more than chasing a universal number.
Regularity is individual
Frequency alone does not capture bowel function. Stool consistency, straining, urgency and persistent changes can also matter.
Supplement context
Products marketed for regularity may use fiber, osmotic ingredients, stimulant-type botanicals or other approaches. These have different safety considerations.
