Many people believe that our colons need to be cleaned out periodically. They believe that years of accumulated waste must be expelled to have maximum health benefits. Usually it takes quite a while to cleanse the colon completely, but now there are products that can help you clean out your colon in just seven days. Many are in powder form and must be mixed with food, but others come in the easier capsule form.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cleanse-Rite System
  1. Step 1

    Talk to your doctor. Make sure that you are healthy enough to handle the cleanse and that you are not pregnant.

  2. Step 2

    Eat a healthy diet. Focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains during the cleanse.

  3. Step 3

    Drink at least 48 oz. of water (six 8-oz. glasses, for example) each day.

  4. Step 4

    Take one package of Cleanse-Rite (for example) capsules three times per day.

  5. Step 5

    Try to take a package at mid-morning, mid-afternoon and bedtime for the most comfortable results.

Tips & Warnings
  • Other seven-day colon cleanse products work in a similar fashion, except that the powder needs to be mixed into a smoothie or rice three times a day.
  • If you have severe pain, bleeding or constipation after taking any cleansing products, get medical help immediately.
