A total of 79 study participants were involved and they were divided into three groups, namely those who consumed two kiwis per day, 100 grams of plums per day and 12 grams of psychedium per day for four weeks.

The results showed that the three groups were more routine to the bathroom and those who consumed kiwi and plums, the consistency of the feces was the best compared to evaporation drugs. Meanwhile, in terms of side effects such as bloating stomachs and pain, participants are generally experienced by psychedium (fiber) participants.
