Does Horlicks contain laxative?!
Question: Does Horlicks contain laxative.?
So every time I drink Horlicks my body reacts the same way it would had I consumed a laxative (did I word that as soft as I could of.? haha, I don't know what the rules are here, first time asking a Q).. Anyway, I just wanted to know if it contained ingredients used in laxatives, or is it just my own body's wierd reaction to something in it.? As far as I knew, Horlicks is supposed to calm you down/relax muscles etc..Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Original Horlicks contains 703mg of calcium carbonate.. That's what helps you sleep.. Could have a laxative effect.. also not a good thing to consume after a meal as it neutralizes digestive acids..
