Promotes regular bowel function: It can help establish a more regular bowel routine when used as directed.
Prepares the bowel for medical procedures: Often used to clear the bowels before colonoscopies or other medical examinations.
Non-habit forming: When used as directed, Dulcolax is not habit-forming, unlike some other laxatives.
Fast-acting: Typically produces results within 6-12 hours when taken orally.
Helps with hemorrhoid discomfort: By softening stools, it can reduce straining during bowel movements, which may help with hemorrhoid symptoms.
Available over-the-counter: Easily accessible without a prescription for occasional use.
Comes in various forms: Available as tablets, suppositories, or enemas, providing options for different needs and preferences.
May help with bloating: By promoting bowel movements, it can relieve feelings of bloating associated with constipation.
Can be used for bowel retraining: In some cases, it may be recommended as part of a bowel retraining program under medical supervision.Remember, while Dulcolax can provide these benefits, it should be used as directed and not for prolonged periods without consulting a healthcare professional.

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
