I Want A Colon Cleanse Supplement But Which One

By Kym Y Butterworth

There are more people than ever taking advantage of the health benefits that can come from colon cleansing. As a result, there are also more products than ever being sold to help everyone achieve their goals. Before you go out and purchase the first product you see, take a moment to consider all of your options and select the one that fits into your lifestyle best.

The first place most people look for a cleansing product is the health and weight loss supplement section of their local store. This makes sense, but pills are not the only option. In fact, for many people they may not even be the best option.

There is one important decision that you have to make first. You can purchase something to use at home or you can go through your doctor and request a colonoscopy, which is a medical procedure that will do the job for you.

If you go to your doctor you have the professional expertise of their medical education at your disposal. Yet, you will also pay a lot more for the procedure and it is more invasive than just doing it at home yourself.

Since that is a rather easy decision, the question then becomes whether you want to take a supplemental pill or go another route.

Colon or even whole body cleansing pills are sold everywhere these days and often come as part of a system where more than one pill is combined for a give period of time. If you have no problem swallowing pills and can remember to take them more than once a day as required then this could be an affordable way to go.

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.

Teas are probably the second popular form. They are preferable to anyone who will have an issue with swallowing pills which can sometimes be quite large, though you will still have to remember to drink the tea more than once a day for most products to work.

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 may also want to consider an enema product, though this is an unappealing measure that is a lot more invasive. The people who go this route want immediate results, but be careful that you do not do this too often.

Once you have done your cleanse, you should include more fiber in your daily diet and try to clean up your eating habits. This will keep your body cleaned out without needing another cleanse in the short term. You may also opt to take a fiber supplement or a psyllium husk supplement before bed.

Colon cleansing can have great benefits to your overall health and can help with weight loss and other serious health initiatives. You just have to find something that works well with your lifestyle and then use them within reason.
