We've recently reformulated Move to be even more effective at tackling constipation. In this article we'll take a look at why this formula is a superior approach over standard laxatives (which can be very damaging for the gut!).
We really wanted to create something that not only helps with constipation but does so in a way that's kind to your gut, and leans on the power of nature and science-backed ingredients.
A lot of laxative products on the market today can be effective, but can also be very harsh on the gut, as well as having other side effects. Here are the four main reasons that Move is superior to many of the products that we see in the market today.
1. Dual Magnesium Complex for Gentle Osmotic Action
The foundation of Move is its dual magnesium system: magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate. These compounds act through osmotic laxative mechanisms—drawing water into the bowel to soften stool and stimulate peristalsis in a non-habit-forming way.
Magnesium-based laxatives are widely studied and recommended for their efficacy and safety. A 2021 study published in Nutrients confirms magnesium’s role in improving stool frequency and quality, particularly in chronic constipation.
“Magnesium oxide exerts an osmotic effect that enhances intestinal water content and stimulates motility, providing effective and well-tolerated relief.” — Mori et al., Nutrients 2021
Importantly, unlike stimulant laxatives, magnesium-based formulations don’t irritate the gut lining, making Move a gentler option suitable for regular use.
2. Kiwifruit Extract (Actazin®): A Natural Prokinetic
Move also contains Actazin®, a clinically studied green kiwifruit extract. Actazin® provides both soluble fibre and the digestive enzyme actinidin, which work synergistically to enhance digestion and support regular bowel movements.
Research published in Nutrition Journal shows that kiwifruit significantly improves stool frequency and consistency, especially in adults with functional constipation. It also enhances gut motility without the bloating or discomfort associated with high-fibre laxatives.
“Green kiwifruit improved colonic transit and decreased straining in constipated individuals without inducing flatulence or bloating.” — Chan et al., Nutrition Journal 2013
Moreover, Actazin® has prebiotic benefits—supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, contributing to longer-term improvements in digestive health.
3. A Customisable Dose That Works with Your Body
Unlike conventional laxatives that come in a “one-size-fits-all” dose, Move is designed to be flexible. You start with two capsules at night and adjust the dose (up to six capsules) based on your body’s response. This helps you find the precise level of support you need without overstimulating your gut.
4. Designed for Sensitive Digestion
People with IBS, sluggish digestion, or sensitive guts often avoid laxatives due to the risk of side effects. Move is designed with these users in mind. Its formula supports bowel motility while soothing the gut lining, offering a more holistic approach to digestive support.
No artificial stimulants. No harsh chemicals. Just clean, functional ingredients that your body recognises and can use effectively.
Final Thoughts
Move is more than just a laxative—it’s a smarter way to support regularity through a combination of proven minerals and clinically validated plant-based nutrition. It works gently and effectively, promoting long-term gut health without the side effects or dependency associated with many traditional products.
For those seeking natural constipation relief backed by science, Move offers a new standard.
