For many years, colon cleansing or colon detox was a term only heard around health buffs, personal trainers, and fitness freaks. Now, it's one of the hottest "new" ideas in keeping your body healthy, trim, and feeling great. According to Wikipedia:
"Colon cleansing encompasses a number of alternative medical therapies intended to remove fecal waste and unidentified toxins from the colon and intestinal tract. Colon cleansing may take the form of colon hydrotherapy (also called colonics or colonic irrigation) or oral cleansing regimens. ... Oral cleaning uses dietary fiber, herbs, dietary supplements or laxatives. Practitioners believe colon cleansing removes accumulations of feces from the walls of the large intestine which are believed to putrefy, harbour parasites or pathogenic gut flora to cause nonspecific symptoms and general ill-health (referred to as "autointoxication")..."
What all this boils down to is that people are putting more and more garbage into their body that didn't even exist a few years ago. Fast food and new chemical additives have exacerbated the problem. Ever feel sluggish for hours after eating a cheeseburger or a large meal? How about waking up with heartburn at 3am? To help flush the digestive tract of the buildup of toxins and fat, plenty of grains and vegetbles can help prevent some of the problems associated with poor colon health, but they need to be consumed in huge amounts for full benefit.
Lately, researchers have recognized that certain exotic foods can play a major role in colon health. Interestingly, these food substances also had a remarkable effect - they brought about weight loss due to the bulk of matter that was no longer being retained by the body. In addition, the test subjects reported that they felt better than they had in years and had more energy as well. Those that had reported chronic problems with constipation added that this annoying condition was alleviated too, as could be expected when the colon is working properly.
Rather than spending days doing research to find the best food supplements yourself, you can make things a lot easier on yourself by just trying one of the packaged Colon Cleanse products on the market. Unfortunately, this can be a very confusing process, due to the number of products on the market. Some cheap products just contain laxatives so that it only appears to be having an effect. Many of the products we reviewed were made in China and were mostly low grade laxatives. In fact, one of them had a livestock laxative listed as it's main ingredient! We've spent many hours looking at all the details and have actually used most of the products we recommend. Obviously, it's important for you to get a free trial of the product before you commit serious cash to a particular cleanse product. Plus some just work better on some people than others do.
There is finally an awareness of the serious effects on health that today's foods have on the body. That cholesterol laden burger and fries you scarfed down yesterday is still with you, oozing its fats and toxins into your body. The natural herbs and minerals in the new colon cleanse products have been used for hundreds of years and have been time tested. There have been many well documented cases of parasitic infestations of the intestines in unhealthy people. And nothing is more graphically shocking to most people than Mucoid Plaque - a long knotty growth that can build up with time. Also, there are many inferior products on the Internet that are basically livestock laxatives being packaged as cheap cleanses. But the biggest risk you can take is to ignore your colon health.

The choices can be daunting. We have reviewed dozens of these products, interviewed people that have tried them, and have come up with what we consider as the top colon cleanse samples that we would recommend. However, in the past few months, the FDA has shut down many colon cleanse suppliers for health and business violations. See below for the ones that have survived the test and we can recommend. In summary, we feel the listing below represents products producing the best results along with the best value. See our recommendations below.
