How to Choose a Colon Cleanse
Colon cleansing is one way to help the body achieve and maintain optimal health. Depending on your condition, lifestyle and reason for cleansing, one method may work better for you than another. Each cleansing method will ultimately clean the colon and help to rid the body of toxins, but the speed and potential side effects vary.

Take time to understand the instructions. If you choose to go with a commercial colon cleansing product, in order to achieve optimal results you must follow the instructions as written by the manufacturer. If the instructions are unclear or open to interpretation, you might not achieve the results that you're looking for. If the instructions are unclear, either contact the manufacturer for clarification or select a different product.

Create your own homemade cleansing recipe. Homemade recipes may be as simple as a water fast or a little more involved, such as creating freshly squeezed juice mixtures. Sites such as Detox.net.au offer a variety of homemade cleansing recipes to choose from.

Consider your lifestyle. The most important factor, when it comes to choosing a colon cleanse, is the amount of time and effort you can dedicate to the process. If you are unable to take a few days or weeks off from your regular routine to undergo an intense colon cleanse, then products such as Dr. Natura's Colonix might be for you. It works slowly and does not require much modification to your daily routine.

Tips & Warnings
If you have decided to perform a colon cleanse because you are experiencing symptoms that you believe are a result of a build up of body toxins, a faster more intense approach to cleansing is recommended. If, on the other hand, the colon cleanse is something you want to try to see how it can benefit you, the slower, less radical, approach may work best.
Colon cleansing removes toxins from the body. Until the toxins are flushed from the body, you may experience unwanted side effects ranging from fatigue to flu-like symptoms. The side effects are temporary.
