Colon cleansing supplements are products used to stimulate bowel movements, and are purported by advocates to remove unhealthy toxins from the body. Products are available over the counter at most retail pharmacies. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, the body does not require supplements to help eliminate waste. If you do decide to use colon cleansers, speak to your doctor first.
Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse
This product contains 10 percent of a person's daily fiber intake requirement, two grams. The main ingredient in the colon cleanser is psylluim husk, a type of soluble fiber. The fiber absorbs water in the colon to stimulate more regular bowel movements. It is suggested that you start off by taking six capsules once a day. Gradually increase your dose until you are taking a total of six capsules three times a day. Drink at least eight ounces of water with each dose.

When you first start the supplement, you are advised to take two capsules on a daily basis after you eat dinner.
