Relaxa works with the water in your body to provide effective relief from occasional constipation. It helps to retain water in the bowel to soften and hydrate stools and increase the frequency of bowel movements.

“I’ve lost 30 lbs in the past two months. It’s really easy to inject (and doesn’t hurt) and it has completely curbed my cravings. Now I eat to fuel myself. Another 70 lbs to go but I’m feeling excited about my weight loss for the first time.”

F.C., 73, Toronto

”The program has stopped my bored snacking – I used to have trouble saying no to treats during the work day and after dinner. Now I’m better able to manage my appetite, and combined with starting to go to the gym and being more careful about what I eat at meals, I’m losing about one pound a week. I’m thinking this is the last diet I’m going to have to do. Hopefully ever.”

E.S., 34, York

”After struggling with weight loss my entire life, and not having a primary doctor I could speak with, I came across Jill Health online. After a short wait, I had my blood taken, results looked after, and an appointment to go over everything with their team. I am now at the beginning of a new journey to see if science (medication), a dedicated dietician, and hard work will finally get me where I need to be.I have nothing but positive things to say about every interaction I have had with their team so far. I had a difficult time finding reviews when I was first looking into this company, so I wanted to make sure others looking at their weight loss program could find mine!”
