Nature's Rx Colon RxTM is the doctor recommended synergistic formula for total colon care. Many people often overlook the colon in their health and nutrition supplementation. However, the colon is one of the primary organs involved with the body's internal detoxification and elimination process. Over the years of dietary intake consisting of processed and enzyme-less foods, the colon can become coated with a thick layer of mucus. This thick mucus layer can impair the normal absorption of nutrients. In larger amounts, this mucus layer can harbor toxins or even intestinal parasites. A normal healthy colon is the cornerstone of a sound nutritional program assuring normal assimilation of nutritional supplements as well as dietary food nutrients.

Cascara Sagrada is a herb made from bark which has a mild laxative effect. It stimulates peristalsis of the colon allowing for normal movements of digested food through the bowel. Cascara Sagrada also known as sacred bark contains cascarosides which have a cathartic action, inducing the large intestine to increase its muscular contraction or peristalsis resulting in a natural movement of bowel materials.

Senna Leaf has a potent cathartic effect on the colon. Senna was prescribed more than 3000 years ago by ancient Egyptian physicians. Senna or cassia is a small shrub with peelable bark that grows in the Nile regions of Africa. Senna is a safe all natural herb effective in stimulating the colon.

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant, the Aloe Vera plant which originated in the warm, dry climates of Africa. Aloe Vera has healing and soothing properties which make Aloe among the most widely used home remedy plants for the treatment of burns. The first detailed discussion of Aloe's medicinal value dates to 1550 B.C. Aloe Vera also has potent stimulating and cleansing effects on the colon. Aloe Vera contains antiseptic qualities derived from contained lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenols, and sulfur. Aloe is an important ingredient when stimulation and cleansing of the colon is desired.

Psyllium is a soluble fiber that comes from a plant most grown in India. It is the main ingredient of commercial laxatives, though it is not a laxative itself but rather than a bulking agent. Bacteria present in the colon digest this fiber increasing the bulk of the stool. Psyllium works in conjunction with normal intestinal flora for regular bowel activity.

Acidophilus are the beneficial bacteria which normally inhabit the lower colon. These bacteria further digest the partially digested food which passes through the colon. Yogurt is an excellent dietary source of acidophilus flora. Supplementation with acidophilus during colon cleansing is recommended to insure these beneficial bacteria are present at all times in the colon.

Dandelion root is beneficial to the stomach and intestines helping to keep in balance the enzymes that promote digestion, assimilation, and elimination through the colon.

Nature's Rx Colon RxTM contains a doctor recommended proprietary blend of cleansing, stimulating and detoxifying herbs which promote a healthy colon. Colon RxTM also contains Acidophilus to promote the healthy bacterial flora of the colon. Colon RxTM is the comprehensive solution to a healthy colon.
