What is the difference between Lax Away® and herbs like Senna, Cascara Sagrada and Buckthorn?

Moreover, herbs like, senna, cascara sagrada, and buckthorn are habit forming. These herbs are not recommended for long term use. Unlike purgatives, Lax Away® is not habit-forming. Lax Away® is a gentle herbal formula that lubricates for regularity rather than flushing. Is Lax Away® habit forming? No. Lax Away® aids regularity without dependency. When can I take Lax Away®? Lax Away® can be taken after meals with a warm glass of water. For morning bowel movement, Lax Away® can be taken before bedtime. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
