Colon Cleanse

Benefits

Our Colon Cleanse formula provides a synergistic combination of ingredients that help support normal, healthy bowel function which, in turn, encourages the "regular" elimination of waste material.* By encouraging regularity, this formula helps support overall health and wellness, which is often related to normal, healthy gastrointestinal function.

Our Colon Cleanse is made of a proprietary blend of seven plant extracts that is specifically designed to help support normal intestinal function.

• Cascara Sagrada – Supports smooth muscle contraction of the colon and aids in the elimination of waste. It also tones and strengthens muscles, which promotes normal bowel function.*
• Aloe Vera – Numerous studies have shown that the compounds of the aloe vera leaf have the ability to support normal colon function and stool consistency. Aloe, like Cascara Sagrada, supports smooth muscle contraction of the colon but also soothes the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.*
• Marshmallow Root & Slippery Elm – Both marshmallow root and slippery elm contain compounds that help to soothe and protect the mucous lining of the intestinal tract.*
• Peppermint – Has been shown to have a relaxing affect on the smooth muscle that lines the intestinal tract.
• Rhubarb –Supports strength and overall function of the muscles of the intestinal wall, as well as helping to protect the lining of the colon.*
• Flax Seed – Omega-3 Fatty Acids provided in the flax seed have been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response. Flax seed also provides a source of fiber and lignans, both of which benefit intestinal health.*

Background

The practice of colon cleansing dates back to ancient Greece. In the U.S., cleansing the colon became popular in the 1920s and 1930s. There are two main colon-cleansing methods. One involves buying products; the other involves seeing a practitioner to have a colon irrigation (high colonic). Either way, the idea is to help the colon expel its contents.

The majority of gastrointestinal issues are related to the typical American diet which focuses on highly processed and refined, high fat, high sugar and low fiber foods. This type of diet results in poor digestive health which can to lead to irregular bowel movements and the increased amount of time fecal matter comes in contact with the cells lining the intestinal tract.
