Constipation, or irregularity, is a condition in which stools pass more slowly than usual through the bowels (intestines), occurring when too much water is removed from the stools, becoming hardened. A variety of factors may contribute to constipation, including dehydration, lack of sufficient fiber, low physical activity, and diet changes. Phillips’ has been a trusted brand for over 150 years.
