As a natural fruit, Biyan Guo (constipation fruit) mainly functions to moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, detoxify and improve complexion. 1. **Moisturizing the Intestines and Relieving Constipation**: Biyan Guo is rich in dietary fiber, which can absorb water and expand, thereby promoting stool formation and mechanically stimulating intestinal peristalsis. It is suitable for individuals suffering from constipation, dry stools, and difficulty defecating. 2. **Detoxification and Beauty Enhancement**: The cellulose and natural organic acids contained in Biyan Guo help eliminate accumulated waste in the body and relieve constipation. Additionally, it can alleviate fatigue and enhance physical health, thus achieving detoxifying and beautifying effects. **Target Population for Biyan Guo**: 1. **Young and Middle-aged Adults**: Those experiencing endocrine disorders and constipation due to fast-paced lifestyles and irregular schedules. 2. **Elderly Individuals**: Those suffering from habitual constipation or slowed gastrointestinal motility caused by declining physical health. 3. **Individuals Who Overeat or Have Irregular Lifestyles**: These people are prone to constipation due to intestinal dysfunction. However, due to its cold nature, Biyan Guo should be consumed cautiously by patients with cold stomach conditions, pregnant women, and infants.
