Sorbitol belongs to the category “laxative”. Laxatives ease transit and treat constipation.
For Sorbitol, in practice: Eases intestinal transit and treats constipation. It is used rather occasionally or as a short course, to get through an episode.
Under which brands it is found
In France, about 3 reimbursable presentations containing Sorbitol are recorded. It is found under several brand names and as generics.

Generics and the original brand are equivalent for the active substance; only the appearance, the name or the excipients may differ.
Do you need a supplement? No.
Nothing to add here. Sorbitol does not fall under any of our references, and no single-ingredient supplement makes credible sense as a complement. Rather than placing a product on principle, we leave this page without a purchase recommendation. If you are otherwise taking a statin, an antidiabetic, a PPI, a contraceptive or a beta-blocker, that is where we can be useful.
