With a multitude of colon cleanse products to choose from in these days, there is much confusion about what constitutes the best colon cleanser for each individual. Here are several things to consider when making a choice of product:

Understand your level of health.

Some people may be in a weakened condition and so a “building” program with proper nutrition may be more important to their health than a cleansing program to remove toxins. Often, we instinctively know when it is time for a colon cleanse—-perhaps after a season of holidays and heavy food consumption or during a period of digestive distress. If you are not certain whether you should be “building” or cleansing, please consult your doctor or nutritionist.

Understand the state of your colon.

If you have struggled with constipation for years then it is true that you may have much impacted toxic matter still residing in your body. The situation is not going to change immediately and may require many months of cleansing. Consequently, you should look for a product that you can take for an extended time-not a short term colon cleanse program. Also if you struggle with an irritable bowel, you may find that some colon cleanse formulas that contain insoluble fiber may be a bit harsh. In these cases, it would be better to use a milder product with a soluble fiber formulation.

Understand what you are trying to achieve in your colon cleanse.

Some people may pursue a colon cleanse regimen to rid themselves of excess weight. Others may choose to cleanse to improve a health problem—heartburn, indigestion…even headaches or sinus problems. Others may want to enhance liver function and improve detoxification. If you are choosing to cleanse to lose weight, look for a cleanse formula that will help enhance metabolism. Certain formulas contain cleansing fruits, vegetables or herbs (such as acai berry) that will increase metabolism and assist in “burning fat.” If you want to cleanse to enhance liver function, make certain that your formula contains silymarin (also known as milk thistle–one of the most widely recognized herbs for supporting the liver. It can help the liver in a myriad of ways. (As an aside, my own sister recovered from hepatitis with its use and recalled that when she did not take it, she had increased pain). It’s truly a very powerful antioxidant and significant helper in removing toxins from the body.

From weight loss to improving digestion, there are certainly many reasons why people are employing colon cleanse products in today’s toxic world. Understanding the basics of what constitutes the best colon cleanser for your particular health needs may have very profound effects on your life and future.
