The Doctor's Formulas Xolon is a dietary supplement in tablets with eight plant ingredients: senna, aloe vera, fennel, plantain, rhubarb, cascara, boldo and mallow. These are herbs that have been encountered for centuries in the European and Mediterranean botanical tradition, each with its own characteristic group of compounds.
The package of 30 tablets is the largest of the two available. It is usually chosen by those who want to have the product in their home cupboard. However, note that the size of the package does not mean duration of use. Three of the herbs in the composition, senna, cascara and rhubarb, belong to the anthraquinones and are not intended for prolonged or daily intake. Read the instructions for use carefully.
Shrub of Africa and Asia. The leaves and pods contain sennosides, glycosides that belong to the category of anthraquinone derivatives. It is one of the best-known herbs of traditional phytotherapy.
Succulent plant with fleshy leaves. The gel of its inner leaf is rich in polysaccharides, such as glucomannan, which belong to the water-soluble fibers.
Aromatic plant of the Mediterranean, one of the most common in Greek mountains and fields. The characteristic aroma of its seeds is due to anethole, the main component of its essential oil. Traditionally used in infusions after meals.
The seed and the husk of plantain are among the richest natural sources of mucilaginous plant fibers. These fibers bind water and form a gelatinous material, which is why the product is always taken with plenty of liquid.
Plant with large leaves and thick stalk, also known as rhea. Its root contains anthraquinone derivatives and has a long history of use in traditional Chinese and European botany.
The bark of a tree from northwestern America. It also contains anthraquinone derivatives, the cascarosides. It was one of the first herbs recorded by Europeans from the indigenous populations of the region.
Evergreen shrub of Chile. Its leaves contain the alkaloid boldine and aromatic oils, and are traditionally used as an infusion in South America.
The well-known wild herb of the Greek countryside. Its flowers and leaves are rich in mucilaginous polysaccharides that give the infusion its characteristic mild texture.
For adults who want a plant preparation with fibers and herbs, for occasional and short-term use.
It is not suitable for children, nor during pregnancy and breastfeeding, due to the anthraquinone ingredients. If you have abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bleeding or any chronic digestive disorder, do not start taking it on your own. Ask your doctor.
