Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety Profile of Good Morning™ Constipation Drops in a Loperamide-Induced Rat Model

Abstract

Introduction: Constipation is a prevalent  gastrointestinal condition globally, often managed  with conventional laxatives that may cause side  effects and dependency. Homeopathy, offering a  holistic approach through diluted natural substances,  aims to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanism.  This study evaluates Good Morning™ drops, an  innovative homeopathic formulation designed to  safely and effectively manage constipation. Using a  rat model of Loperamide-induced constipation, we  evaluated its safety and efficacy, unveiling promising  results.Materials and Methods: A rat model of Loperamide induced constipation was utilized to assess the  efficacy and safety of Good Morning™ Constipation  Drops. 3 unique formulations were prepared and  employed to the animal model in 3 different doses.  72 rats were randomly assigned to 12 groups (3  control groups plus 3 formulations in 3 different  doses totalling 9 groups), receiving specific variants  or control treatments over the period of 21 days.  Parameters including body weight, water intake, stool  count, intestinal function, haematology, bleeding and  clotting time, blood biochemistry, and organ weight  were evaluated. Results and discussion: The results showed that  all homeopathic formulations, particularly Variant  2, exhibited significant effects in Loperamide induced constipated rats. Across various parameters,  Variant 2 consistently influenced food intake, stool  characteristics, and small intestine motility. Safety  assessments indicated overall well-being, withVariant 2 demonstrating superior survival outcomes.  These findings position Variant 2 as a promising  candidate for constipation management, emphasizing  its consistent efficacy and safety in the rat model. Conclusion: In conclusion, Good Morning™  Constipation Drops exhibited a promising blend of  safety, efficacy, and a multifaceted mechanism of  action. The formulation, rich in botanical ingredients,  demonstrates high safety with favorable survival  rates. Efficacy is evident in improved stool counts,  stool weights, Small Intestine Transition percentages,  and impacts on lipid profiles and liver enzymes,  highlighting its potential as a comprehensive solution  for constipation relief.
