Colon Supplement, Herbal Colon Cleanse Capsules, 150 Count

Our Colon supplement is a herbal colon cleanse made with cascara sagrada bark, turkey rhubarb root, ginger root, and blessed thistle, for relief of occasional constipation, bloating, and gas.* Each tube holds 150 vegetable capsules, made with organic or wildcrafted herbs, third party tested for identity, heavy metals, and microbials.

Cascara sagrada. Cascara sagrada means sacred bark and comes from the bark of a tree in northwestern America. It is one of the most traditional herbs used for the relief of occasional constipation.* This tree or shrub is also called Frangula purshiana, and belongs to the Rhamnaceae family.

Turkey rhubarb root. Turkey rhubarb root helps support regularity and digestive health.* It is in the Polygonaceae family. The leaves of the rhubarb plant are large, triangular, and inedible, while the stalks are edible.

Ginger. Ginger helps support digestion and eases occasional bloating and gas.* Ginger is a flowering plant in the Zingiberaceae family, closely related to cardamom and turmeric.

Blessed thistle. Blessed thistle is a traditional digestive bitter. Cnicus benedictus is another name for blessed thistle, a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region.

Frequently asked questions

How long does one tube last?
It depends how many capsules you take. The label is 2 to 5 capsules on 2 to 3 days a week. Taken gently, 2 capsules twice a week, a 150 capsule tube lasts about 37 weeks. At 5 capsules twice a week, about 15 weeks. At 5 capsules three days a week, about 10 weeks. Because it is not an everyday supplement, one tube goes a long way.

Is cascara sagrada safe?
Cascara sagrada is a stimulant herb, and it is meant to be used short term rather than every day. Follow the label: 2 to 5 capsules on 2 to 3 days a week, for no more than 30 days at a time. Do not use it if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain, and do not use it during pregnancy or nursing or give it to children. If you take prescription medication or have a medical condition, talk to your doctor before you start.

Can I take it every day?
No. The label calls for 2 to 3 days a week and a maximum of 30 days at a time. Herbs in this category are for occasional use, not daily use.

What is the capsule shell made of?
Vegetable cellulose, and nothing else. The capsules are vegan and contain no gelatin.

Is it vegan and free of animal products?
Yes. Every ingredient is a plant and the capsule shell is vegetable cellulose, so there is nothing of animal origin anywhere in the formula.

What else goes well with it?
If you want a gentler herb to sip rather than a short course of capsules, many customers use our Bitters Tea Supplement. For everyday minerals, our Sea Moss and Bladderwrack Supplement is the most popular product in the shop.
