Prune Juice – A Natural Digestive Aid?
Compared to fresh plum juice, prune juice has a higher fibre content, and is often considered a laxative. In small quantities, this drink could keep your digestive system moving along properly, but you should be careful not to drink too much. Be aware that prune juice will naturally contain less gut-supporting fibre than whole prunes. For more information, take a look at our prune juice guide.
