Because the objective of a colon cleanse, typically, is to help rid the body of accumulated toxins, it is important to choose safe, effective products that don't contain pesticides, by-products, or other potentially harmful substances. There are many different brands to choose from and some claim to be organic. Talk to your doctor if you want to try a colon cleanse, as there is no clinical evidence to show the benefits or potential harms of the process.
Colonix Program
Developed by DrNatura, this product involves a three-step process that claims to rid the body of toxins. According to DrNatura.com, the Colonix program consists of the Intestinal Cleanser, the Paranil capsules, and KleriTea. The Intestinal Cleanser is a fiber supplement containing both soluble and insoluble fiber that promotes excretion of waste. The Paranil capsules contain 18 herbs that the website claims purify the colon and the liver. KleriTea herbal tea is suggested in the morning to "kickstart" your bowels or to help calm you down before bed. It does not contain caffeine.
The editorial staff of Natural Healing Today, an alternative health magazine, reviewed the organic colon cleansing products on the market today. They placed the Colonix program in the top spot due to its effectiveness and the safety of its ingredients, as well as positive customer feedback, the price, and the money-back guarantee. Talk to your doctor about this product, he may know if it is the right choice for you.
The Perfect Cleanse
Garden of Life has a product called The Perfect Cleanse. Like the Colonix program, The Perfect Cleanse incorporates three different phases of action. According to the product website, the first step is called Purify. Its capsules contain detoxifying herbs like milk thistle, cilantro, and dandelion as well as minerals like selenium and iron. Capture is the second step, aiming to bind toxins for elimination. Flax seed, barley, and alfalfa leaves are some of the herbs utilized in this step. The final step is suitably named Remove, and employs the help of aloe vera, ginger, fenugreek, fennel, and peppermint to help eliminate waste from the colon.
This product was ranked second in the colon cleanser review in Natural Healing Today. There is no money-back guarantee, and fewer customer testimonials. Take a look at the ingredients and talk to your doctor to see if this product would be safe and effective for you.
Puristat
Abbott Industries developed Puristat in tablet rather than capsule form. This product also uses a three-phase process; however, some of the ingredients in this product differ from the others. The first step, Cleanse, works to stimulate muscle activity in the colon, purportedly breaking up impacted waste and improving colon tone. The second phase, Restore, utilizes the power of good bacteria like Lactobacillus acidophilus to restore needed bacteria to your digestive system. Advanced Supplementation is the last phase. Its tablets consist of digestive enzymes, probiotics, L-glutamine, and vitamin D3.
Naturalhealingtoday.com states that compared to the other products, Puristat is more expensive. Tablets are also harder to digest than capsules or powders, so some nutrients may not be absorbed. Puristat and the other products mentioned are not regulated by the FDA; their results and claims are not guaranteed. Talk to your doctor before using this and all supplements.
