Hello,
Nutrilite powder is a blend of three natural soluble fibers It offers a convenient way to get the fiber needed to support normal gastrointestinal health and regularity.
It can help with constipation but it does not treat it.
To treat constipation you should take laxative such as Miralax.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
