I notice that when I use it regularly, that my bowel movements are not prone to becoming "d" like, nor constipated. It helps out all over. You can get this brand at health food stores. If you aren't treating a yeast infection, I'd use the maintenance dosage.
It really does provide a great deal of relief.
