What is chronic constipation?
Chronic constipation is a condition characterized by difficult defecation, which persists for at least three months. People with chronic constipation often experience: hard, dry stools, a feeling of bloating, discomfort or pain during bowel movements.
There are several possible causes of chronic constipation, including:

- certain medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism or diabetes
- aging
Who is prone to chronic constipation?
Chronic constipation can affect anyone, but certain groups of people are more likely to develop it. Risk factors include:
- Older age: Older people are more susceptible to chronic constipation due to reduced intestinal muscle activity and hormonal changes, as well as reduced digestive enzymes.
- Women: are more prone to chronic constipation than men due to hormonal differences and the effects of pregnancy on the digestive tract.

- People with a low-fiber diet: A diet high in processed foods and low in fiber (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) can contribute to chronic constipation.

How do we treat chronic constipation?

Here are some treatment options for chronic constipation:

How does buckthorn extract help with chronic constipation?
Buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula) is a medicinal plant known for its laxative properties and is traditionally used to treat constipation.
The main active ingredients in crusin are anthraquinones, such as frangulin and emodin, which have laxative effects by stimulating intestinal contractions and increasing the volume of water in the intestine. Crusin may also help relieve pain and inflammation in the digestive tract.
It is important to mention that the use of buckwheat for constipation should be done with caution and should not be used long-term, as it can lead to addiction and decreased effectiveness.
