How To Choose An Effective Colon Cleanse Product

By Kym Butterworth

The products that line the shelves at your local store are determined by consumer demand, and right now it seems there is a super high demand for colon cleansing products. You have more choices right now than ever before if you want the weight loss benefits of cleansing, or even if you just want to ensure that every system in your body is functioning properly.

Pills for this purpose are sold everywhere and almost everyone is aware of them. Yet, most people do not realize they are not the only option. Actually, for many people they may not even be the best option.

The first choice you have to make is whether you want to go to your doctor for a colonoscopy or stick with products you can buy off the shelf easily.

Even though you have the guidance of a trained professional if you go through your doctor, it is too invasive and expensive for most people.

The majority of people are going to elect to find a product that can be taken at home at less expense. Your choice at that point becomes whether to go with a pill or capsule supplement since they are so readily available, or look for another form.

Most pills for cleansing the colon or even for the entire body are sold as a system with more than one pill to be used together. Some of the pills can be quite large. If remembering to take them at the proper times of day is not an issue and you have no issues swallowing, then this is likely to be an affordable option with a lot of products to select from.

There are many different colon cleansing alternatives for those who cannot remember to take a pill at key times or cannot handle swallowing them down.

The next best choice is likely to be a tea form. These products are also becoming widely available and are obviously less difficult to swallow. You will have to read the directions, but some still have to be taken at certain times of the day and possibly more than once a day.

Tea tastes great and can become a relaxing, enjoyable part of your day. If you already drink this on a regular basis then it may be the best choice as it will be natural to work it in.

You can also purchase enema products that will force the colon to release any build up inside its walls, but this is a more invasive measure that is extremely unpleasant for most people. Yet, it has faster results without the need to remember to take a pill at certain times of the day.

Once you decide on a product and use it for the given period of time, it is important to give your body a rest before doing it again. It will take time for toxins to build up before you need it again, but you can keep the benefits long term if you clean up your eating to include more fiber. You may also want to take a fiber supplement or use a high quality psyllium husk supplement before bed each night.

Ultimately, colon cleansing is more effective if it is taken in a form that fits into your daily life. You have to do it according to the directions in order to get all of the health and weight loss benefits.
