Abstract

Objectives: Constipation has high prevalence in all age groups, notably in the elderly population. Traditional treatment with
laxatives may cause unexpected adverse effects. Therefore, alternative nutritional supplements are necessary to alleviate
constipation and improve gut health. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Relief Drink formula (RDF)
composed of Radix Codonopsis, Semen Raphani and resistant dextrin on adults with functional constipation in a randomized,
double-blind and placebo-controlled 2-week clinical trialMethods: The participants (N=117) were randomized to receive RDF (N=58) or placebo (N=59) for 2 weeks. The dailyself-reported defecation index, including defecation frequency, defecation condition and fecal character were collected. Inaddition, the fecal samples were collected at the 0-week and 2-week time points for metagenomic sequencing using the shot-gun method
