How Dicon compares to Over the Counter Remedies

There are many OTC products available which treat episodic constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating and other digestive upsets. Most of these products are chemical-based and provide only temporary relief
for constipation.

Most products treating constipation are chemical-based. There are a few which are natural-based, however they contain senna which has a chemical called anthraquinones. Anthraquinones are known to cause possibly serious side effects and therefore cannot be taken by anyone with chronic gastrointestinal conditions such as hemorrhoids, ulcers or colitis.

For diarrhea, there are many chemical-based products too. While side effects such as fatigue are minimal, the relief provided is only temporary.

Most products aimed at treating gas and bloating are also chemical-based. While there are some natural alternatives, they are generally effective on a limited select group of foods.

Dicon’s unique Combination Herbal Therapy (CHT) has been shown to effectively treat episodic stomach upsets.  Dicon provides immediate relief – it targets the root cause of stomach upsets and recalibrates the body’s digestive system. When used daily,  Dicon will help prevent the recurrence of future gastrointestinal upsets.

This formula is effective, yet gentle enough to treat both episodic upsets and prevent future occurrences, without any known side effects.
