Hi, to answer your question. It did seem to work the first couple of days I started to take which I was very surprised because on the package it said it may take like 10! I guess it just hit the spot with me. It does not give me "urgency" to have to use the bathroom. I just simply deel the need and I do! I THINK like a normal person might go to the bathroom..but who knows because I have never been normal when it comes to that!lol
