How Atlas Castor Oil 50 mL Relieves Constipation
Understanding Occasional Constipation
Constipation can be a common digestive issue, characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools. Various factors, including diet, lack of exercise, and certain medications, can contribute to this condition. Atlas Castor Oil offers a natural solution to alleviate occasional constipation.
How Atlas Castor Oil Works
Mechanism of Action
Atlas Castor Oil is a stimulant laxative. It works by stimulating the muscles in the intestines, which promotes bowel movements. The active compound, ricinoleic acid, is absorbed in the small intestine and triggers the release of prostaglandins, which increase intestinal motility.
- Stimulates intestinal muscles
- Increases bowel motility
How to Use Atlas Castor Oil

For adults, the recommended dosage of Atlas Castor Oil is typically 15 mL to 60 mL (1 to 4 tablespoons) once daily. Children over 6 years of age may take half the adult dose. It's usually taken on an empty stomach or before bedtime to allow it to work overnight. Always follow the product label instructions or consult with a healthcare professional.
Important Note on Use
Castor oil is intended for short-term use only. Prolonged use can lead to dependency and other health complications. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your doctor. Do not use in pregnancy.
