Here's
a few more more words about the colon / bowel cleanse
ingredients.
Turmeric 500mg (100 capsules)
- Aids liver and
digestive problems*
- Promotes cleansing
and detoxification mediated by the liver*
- Creates an
unfriendly environment for parasites*
Product Description:
Turmeric has its roots in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic
medicine. Considered to be a cleansing herb, turmeric is used
in herbal medicine practices to aid liver and digestive
problems, including upset stomach, flatulence, and abdominal
cramping. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties are
considered to have beneficial effects on rheumatoid arthritis
and osteoarthritis.*
Product Benefits:
The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, has antioxidant
properties. As a topical skin remedy, Turmeric’s antimicrobial
and anti-inflammatory properties aid insect bites, fungal
infections of the skin, minor wounds, and skin conditions such
as eczema and psoriasis. Curcumin is also believed to increase
bile production and flow from the liver, enhancing the breakdown
of fats during digestion.*
In traditional Chinese and
Ayurvedic medical system, turmeric has been used to aid
digestion and liver function, relieve arthritis pain, and
regulate menstruation.*

Product Description:
Native to the Pacific Northwest regions of the United States and
Canada, the bark of the cascara sagrada tree has been used as an
herbal laxative for centuries. Early Spanish explorers called
it “sacred bark” (English translation of cascara sagrada), after
observing how Native Americans used this herb in folk medicine
applications. The bark was steeped to make a tea used to
alleviate constipation. In the 1890s the US Pharmacopeia
recognized cascara sagrada’s medicinal uses, mainly as a natural
laxative.
Product Benefits:
The active component in cascara sagrada, anthraquinone, induces
peristalsis, the muscle contractions in the large intestine that
encourage bowel movements. These contractions help to tone the
relaxed muscles lining the intestine. Although it is used
primarily to alleviate constipation, cascara sagrada may benefit
colitis (inflammation of the colon), upset stomach, hemorrhoids,
jaundice and liver problems. The presence of cascara sagrada
encourages increased bile secretion from the gallbladder, which
helps to break up and prevent gallstones, and also improves the
breakdown and digestion of proteins.
Cautions: Large doses of anthraquinones may cause
bloody diarrhea or vomiting. Do not take more than recommended
doses. Long-term use can cause dependence.
Fennel Seed 450mg (100 capsules)
• Promotes better digestion and
nutrient absorption*
• Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties*
• Free from manufacturing agents, coatings, colorings, binders,
release agents and so forth.
Product Description:
Fennel's documented use goes back to ancient China, and the
plant is mentioned in virtually every European work on herbal
medicines from ancient times to modern day.
While fennel seed is utilized in the culinary world for is
anise-like flavor, it’s considered a popular multipurpose remedy
in the natural health community. A natural source of vitamins,
minerals and dietary fiber, fennel seed can be used to aid a
variety of digestive ailments.*
Product Benefits:
Fennel seed has several medicinal qualities that make it a
suitable remedy to combat many conditions. Most noteworthy is
fennel seed’s power to combat digestive discomforts. Fennel seed
contains anethole, a compound that has anti-spasmodic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-carcinogenic properties. The volatile oils in fennel seed
increase the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach,
which promotes better digestion and nutrient absorption. As a
mild laxative, fennel seed encourages the muscular contractions
that propel contents through the digestive tract. For these
reasons, fennel seed may offer relief from occasional
indigestion, heartburn, and constipation.*
Fennel seed also has
antioxidants that help to defend the body from free radical
damage.*
Betaine
HCL 425 mg (100 capsules)
- A potent digestive aid
- Aids in protein and fat
digestion
- Supports optimal stomach
acidity*
Product Description:
Betaine hydrochloride (Betaine HCL) is an acidic form of Betaine,
a vitamin-like substance found in grains and other foods.
Betaine HCL is recommended as a supplemental source of
hydrochloric acid for people who have a deficiency of
stomach acid production, a condition called hypochlorhydria.
The acidic environment in the
stomach helps to break down dietary fats and protein for better
assimilation of the smaller nutritional components in the
body—proteins into peptides and amino acids, fats into fatty
acids.
Product Benefits:
Hydrochloric acid (HCL) helps in the digestion of fats and
proteins. As we get older, the stomach’s ability to secrete HCL
weakens. Lowered acidity in the stomach is a leading cause of
digestive complaints and can lead to chronic inflammation if
left untreated. Insufficient acidity leaves undigested food
particles to rot, disallowing vital nutrients to be absorbed. It
also creates an environment more prone to support the
proliferation of potentially harmful microorganisms. Symptoms of
low stomach acidity may include gas, bloating, food allergies,
constipation, anemia, and nausea.*
The digestive enzyme pepsin is
activated in an acidic environment. Because pepsin and HCL work
together to break down your food, healthcare professionals
recommend taking pepsin at the same time you take your HCL
supplements.* (see our enzymes)
Magnesium Oxide, 300mg 100
capsules
- • Promotes Healthy
Bowel Action
- • Supports Energy
Production*
• Critical for Enzyme Function*
• Nervous System Support*
• Manufactured by
Dr. Clark Store
Product Benefit
The laxative effect of
magnesium appears to come through two different mechanisms.
Magnesium relaxes the muscles in the intestines which helps to
establish a smoother rhythm called
peristalsis (the wavelike motion which moves fecal matter
through your intestines). Magnesium also
attracts water; this increased amount of water in the colon
serves to soften the stool, helping to make stools easier to
pass.
Magnesium does have a
well-established reputation for its laxatives qualities. Of
interest is a 2006
study that looked at the relationship between constipation
and water, fiber, and magnesium intake. The study was conducted
in Japan with a whopping number of 3,835 subjects who were
between the ages of 18 and 20. Constipation was not found
to be associated with low fiber intake or low intake of water
from fluids. Constipation was associated with
low intake of magnesium and low intake of water from foods.

Magnesium is a mineral that is
present in relatively large amounts in the body. Researchers
estimate that the average person’s body contains about 25 grams
of magnesium, and about half of that is in the bones. Magnesium
is important in more than 300 chemical reactions that keep the
body working properly. People get magnesium from their diet, but
sometimes magnesium supplements are needed if magnesium levels
are too low. Dietary intake of magnesium may be low,
particularly among women.
Magnesium is a mineral that is
critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle
contraction, nerve impulse transmission and bone mineralization.
It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes in the
body, and acts in concert with calcium to support cell, tissue,
and organ functions. Magnesium also contributes significantly to
bone formation and mineralization. Among the reactions
catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acids synthesis, protein
synthesis and glucose metabolism.
