What does it do?

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate is an inorganic salt in the phosphate group, primarily used as a bowel cleansing agent. This ingredient is used to increase intestinal moisture, soften stool, and assist in defecation.

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate attracts moisture in the intestine, making the stools softer. As the bowel contents become softer, defecation becomes smoother, resulting in a bowel cleansing effect.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
