Prune juice is not a stool softener or a stimulant, but rather an osmotic laxative. It helps treat constipation by drawing more water into the intestines, increasing bowel movements. It contains potassium, which is neither good nor bad for the heart. Potassium is important for heart and muscle function, and both a deficiency and an excess can be harmful. Prunes also contain antioxidants and vitamin C, beneficial for both children and adults. Eating more fiber, drinking plenty of water, and consuming prune juice can help with constipation.
