Clean Sweep

For years now, we've been hearing the term "cleanse" thrown around as a magic trick for weight loss and solving digestive issues. It's true that a lot of foods, medications, and who knows what else get into our system and are very hard to get out. Some medicines get lodged in your gut and it takes more than just fiber and water to rid the waste completely. And it's not just medications we need to detox out! Foods like gluten, dairy...our favorite breads and cheeses namely, are difficult for our body to process; can lead to more health issues than just in our digestive system. They affect our skin, muscles, brain. Ever heard of "brain fog"? Your gut can cause this! D
Lucky for me, I was provided a nice sized bottle of this HealthyNow Colon Cleanse Detox Plus.
Consisting of Butternut Bark, Ginger Root, Senna Leaf, Black Walnut Bark, Cascara Sagrada Bark, Fructooligosaccarides, Grapefruit Fiber, Licorice Root, Milk Thistle Seed, Dandelion Leaf & Cayenne Fruit; it is said to Cleanse the Colon Naturally and Promote Regularity. So, let's get right into it!
What I enjoyed was that you start with 1 capsule. You'll want to increase your fiber and water intake and/or decrease your intake of red meat, dairy, and wheat while taking this product. (For maximum effectiveness) You wouldn't go on a juice cleanse and eat pizza and drink beer every day, right?
So be smart, health conscious and do your body a favor and take it easy on the tough stuff, k?
So how did it work for me? A lot better than I expected! I always used to worry about taking anything that affected going to the bathroom. No one wants a Dumb and Dumber bathroom scene, right? This was not that (thank goodness!) To be honest, if I didn't have trouble going, I probably wouldn't know there was a difference because it did just work out to have a "regular" effect. Of course, I started on the smaller dose of 1 capsule, but I just took it at bedtime and the next morning everything was easy peasy. Sometimes, if I have had particular trouble in the morning, I will take one and go at night as well but for the most part I just took the one at night. After I knew it had been close to 10 days, I stopped taking them and will resume, probably next month, so that my body has had a break. This is definitely an effective product, and I like that so many of the ingredients are natural and recognizable fruits and herbs we are familiar with.
