About Nature’s Sunshine Gentle Move

When occasional digestive irregularity strikes, your body deserves gentle, natural support that works with your system rather than against it. Nature’s Sunshine Gentle Move offers a thoughtfully crafted approach to digestive wellness, combining the power of magnesium with time-tested herbal wisdom to promote comfortable, regular elimination without harsh stimulant effects.

Unlike single-action laxatives that may cause discomfort or dependency, Gentle Move employs a unique triple-action approach. This comprehensive formula combines osmotic, bulk-forming, and mild stimulant mechanisms to support your body’s natural elimination processes. The result is gentle yet effective support that helps restore digestive balance without overwhelming your system.

The Science Behind Gentle Elimination

At the heart of Gentle Move lies magnesium hydroxide, a well-researched mineral that works osmotically to attract and retain water within the colon. This natural mechanism helps soften stool and promotes easier passage, reducing the strain and discomfort often associated with irregularity. Each two-capsule serving provides 400mg of magnesium, delivering 95% of your daily value to support both digestive and overall health.

The formula’s proprietary herbal blend brings together centuries of traditional wisdom with modern understanding. Triphala extract, a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for over 1,000 years, combines three powerful fruits to create what practitioners call a “health harmonizer.” This traditional blend supports digestive balance while providing gentle cleansing action throughout the intestinal tract.

Traditional Herbs for Modern Digestive Wellness

Nature’s Sunshine sources only the finest botanicals for Gentle Move, ensuring both purity and potency. The wildcrafted slippery elm bark is sustainably hand-harvested from forests across eastern North America, where it has been treasured by Native Americans for its soothing properties. This mucilaginous herb creates a gentle coating action that supports digestive comfort.

Marshmallow root extract brings its own mucilaginous benefits, complementing the slippery elm to provide comprehensive digestive tract support. Yellow dock root and ginger rhizome round out the formula, with yellow dock traditionally used to support healthy elimination and ginger valued for its digestive and soothing properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gentle Move combines three types of laxative action in one formula: osmotic (magnesium attracts water to soften stool), bulk-forming (herbs add beneficial fiber), and mild stimulant action (gentle promotion of natural muscle contractions). This comprehensive approach provides effective support without the harsh effects of single-action laxatives.

For maintenance, Gentle Move can be used as needed. During times of irregularity, use up to 6 capsules per day for no more than 7-10 days as directed. For long-term digestive support, consult with your healthcare professional to determine the best approach for your individual needs.

Triphala is a traditional Ayurvedic blend of three fruits (Terminalia chebula, T. belerica, and Emblica officinalis) that has been used for over 1,000 years. Known as a “health harmonizer,” triphala supports digestive balance and provides gentle cleansing action while offering antioxidant benefits.

For maintenance, take 2 capsules at nighttime or before bedtime. This timing allows the formula to work naturally with your body’s overnight digestive processes, typically producing results in the morning. During times of irregularity, follow the increased dosage instructions as needed.
