The challenge

More common than it seems

Constipation affects millions of people worldwide and can have a significant impact on daily comfort and quality of life.

Up to 2 in 8

adults are affected by constipation.

  • ~33% of adults aged 60 and older have symptoms of constipation.
  • Pregnancy Constipation is especially common during pregnancy.
  • Women Constipation is more prevalent in women than in men and becomes increasingly common with age.

Common stimulant laxatives including senna, frangula and bisacodyl are generally recommended for short-term use, creating a need for gentle solutions that support long-term bowel regularity.

Malva sylvestris (common mallow) plant
What it is

A standardized extract of Malva sylvestris

Malvasoft® is derived from Malva sylvestris L. (common mallow), a Mediterranean botanical with a long history of traditional use for digestive health. Naturally rich in mucilages and polyphenols, it is produced under controlled quality standards.

  • 100% plant-based and free from stimulant laxative ingredients
  • Free from hydroxyanthracene derivatives (HADs)
  • Manufactured under GMP standards with full traceability

Mechanism of action

Five ways it supports digestive health

Science, translated — what happens inside the intestine.

Mucilages (>30%)

Osmotic laxative effect

The mucilage fraction absorbs water, helping increase stool moisture and support natural bowel movements.

Visible within 48 h

Motility

Improved transit

Preclinical evidence suggests modulation of pathways involved in gastrointestinal motility, supporting normal intestinal transit.

Microbiota

Supports gut microbiota

Its polysaccharide-rich composition may help support a balanced intestinal microbiota.

Malvidin molecular structure

Polyphenols

Antioxidant protection

Malvidin and other polyphenols contribute to the extract's antioxidant properties and help protect against oxidative stress.

Barrier

Barrier restoration

Preclinical studies suggest support for markers associated with intestinal barrier function and mucosal health.

Indications

What it's useful for

Regulate transit naturally

Gently restore intestinal rhythm without irritation.

Suitable for ongoing use

A non-stimulant botanical ingredient designed for regular digestive support.

Gentle, non-stimulant action

Provides digestive support without relying on stimulant laxative ingredients or hydroxyanthracene derivatives.

Supports intestinal barrier health

Preclinical evidence suggests support for intestinal barrier integrity and mucosal health.

Scientific highlights

Strong antioxidant performance in comparative testing

  • Outperforms Senna and Frangula on antioxidant inhibition.
  • Supported intestinal barrier integrity in preclinical models.
  • The mucilage fraction supports gentle bowel regularity through its water-retaining properties.
  • Increased bowel frequency and reduced stool hardness vs. placebo.

Science & quality

Backed by research, made to standard

Peer-reviewed studies on the Malva sylvestris extract (Mallolax®).

  • GMP facilities
  • ISO 9001 quality
  • Full traceability
  • Published studies

Note on product name: the clinical and scientific studies referenced on this page were conducted using Mallolax®, the previous commercial name of this standardized Malva sylvestris extract. Malvasoft® and Mallolax® are compositionally and technically identical products, with no changes to formulation, specifications, manufacturing process or quality attributes. The product continues to be marketed as Mallolax® in Spain and as Malvasoft® in international markets.
