What is the laxative effect of our products ? In all sugar free products, there is a small tendency to have a laxative effect. This tends to occur more in people with a high sensitivity to sugar substitutes but these are in the minority. Polyols have a very slow digestive quality and therefore much of the product will pass through the body undigested. The undigested portion of the Polyols when passing through the intestine inhibits the absorption of fluids and this is what can cause the negligible laxative effect. Although this laxative effect is harmless, as a general rule it is not recommended that the daily intake of Polyols should exceed approximately 40 grams.
