Frequently Asked Questions

Is kiwifruit good for constipation in children? 

Yes. Kiwifruit is a natural source of fibre and containsa unique enzyme called actinidin that supports protein digestion and gut motility. Actazin, a concentrated kiwifruit powder, has been clinically studied for its role in supporting bowel regularity and stool consistency.

Is plant-based constipation relief safe for babies?

Brauer's Baby & Kids Constipation Relief is specifically formulated for babies and children. Always follow the directions for use on the label and consult your healthcare practitioner if you are unsure whether it is appropriate for your child's age and situation.

How long does constipation last in children? 

Most functional constipation in children resolves with dietary and lifestyle changes and appropriate support. If constipation persists beyond two weeks or is accompanied by pain or other symptoms, consult your GP.

What is the difference between stimulant and osmotic laxatives? 

Stimulant laxatives work by stimulating the bowel muscle to contract. Osmotic laxatives draw water into the bowel to soften stools. Both are typically recommended for short-term use in children. Plant-based alternatives like Brauer's formula take a different approach, using traditionally used herbal ingredients and fibre to support the body's natural digestive rhythm.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
