CIC (Chronic Idiopathic Constipation) is a type of constipation where the cause isn’t known or specified. If you aren’t sure what is causing your constipation and it has continued for many weeks or months, it’s a good idea to book a visit with your doctor. Sometimes, CIC can indicate a more serious health situation.
Lumpy or hard stools
Incomplete bowel movements
Fewer than 3 bowel movements a week
Straining with bowel movements
Excessive gas
Research shows that when the Biological Clock is not synchronized, it may lead to constipation, among other symptoms5.
Mechanical stimulation of the colon with gentle vibrations, resynchronizes the biological clock via the ENS-CNS pathway.
When the biological clock is resynchronized, the natural bowel movement bio-rhythm is restored.
In a phase 3 clinical trial with the Vibrating capsules, patients experienced significant improvement of constipation symptoms vs placebo4.
