The benefits of COL-Clear B

There are some strong reasons to consider COL-Clear B as the herbal supplement of choice when we speak about colon cleanse. The reason is the combination of all-natural ingredients which have multiple beneficial effects on the intestinal activity. The active herbal ingredients help to soften the stool, stimulate the liver function, improve peristalsis which translates as more effective bowel movements and a greater chance of the old encrusted mucus and faecal matter to be expelled. Unlike the chemical medicines, COL-Clear B acts gently and stimulates the bowel towards unassisted bowel movements. A list of all the benefits from taking COL-Clear B are outlined below.

• Support in constipation, irregular bowel movements
• Helps tone sluggish bowels
• Support in haemorrhoids
• Clearing bowel "pockets"
• Diverticulitis
• Can be used alone or as part of an internal cleansing programme
• Efficient as a stool softener
• Complementing colonic hydrotherapy treatments.

COL-Clear B ingredients explained

Below we are going to summarize the effects of each ingredient of COL-Clear B in order to outline the main rationale behind using each of them in this supplement.

Rhubarb

(Rheum palmatum, lat.) — A strong herbal laxative, astringent-bitter, gastric stimulant, anti-inflammatory, tonic and antiseptic. Also used for disorders of the liver, gall-bladder and stomach. It is widely used as part of colon cleansing programmes, because it contains important active ingredients such as anthraquinones, emodin, tannins, flavonoids (including rutin) and several polyphenols.

Barberry Bark

(Berberis vulgaris, lat.) — Supports liver, gallbladder, spleen and bowel function. Barberry bark contains an alkaloid known as berberine, but also other active ingredients such as isoquinolone alkaloids.
This herb has an antiseptic and anti-bacterial effect when taken orally and is useful against dysbiosis. Stimulates bile flow, eases liver congestion, ideal for an inflamed gallbladder and intestinal inflammation. It is considered to be a spleen and pancreas tonic.

Burdock root

(Arctium lappa, lat.), is considered to be one of the most potent tonics of herbalism. It is widely used to support liver function, as a cleansing botanical and contains a broad spectrum of nutrients, including fatty acids, organic acids, phenolic acids, lignans, sesquiterpenes, tannin, mucilage, inulin (prebiotic), iron, sulphur, B-vitamins.

Cayenne

(Capsicum frutescens, lat.) — Knon also as the Chilli pepper, is regarded by herbalists as the purest and safest stimulant known. Opens up tissues in the body to increase flow of blood, due to the active ingredient capsaicin, which supports healthy blood flow and natural detox, a healthy metabolism.
It is also used in poor digestion and to increase gastrointestinal secretions. Acts as an antispasmodic for relief of pain and a carminative. It is rich in vitamins A, B6, C, E, riboflavin, but also in minerals such as potassium and manganese.

Ginger

(Zingiber officinalis, lat.) — Alleviates occasional gas, bloating and nausea. Known as a "hot bitter" herb which promotes gastric acidity and aids in digestion. Used for many stomach conditions as has anti-inflammatory, carminative, antispasmodic, expectorant (increases bronchial mucous), vasodilator and circulatory stimulant (not as sharp as Cayenne). Used for flatulence, to promote gastric secretions and in achlorhydria (absence or reduction of hydrochloric acid in stomach juices). Gingerol is a compound found in ginger and is considered to be a powerful antioxidant.

Fennel

(Foeniculum vulgare, lat.) — A gentle digestive and carminative herb used to counteract flatulence, disperse windy colic, intestinal spasms, griping, sweeten a sour stomach, sooth irritable bowel. Traditionally used as a culinary herb because of its aroma and anise-type flavour. Supports the body's natural elimination of excess waste and toxins from the colon and a healthy acid/alkaline balance.

Aloe vera

(Aloe barbadensis, lat.) — Best known for its calming properties and soothing action, aloe is a spiky cactus-like plant of the lily family. Its leaves contain 18 amino-acids and vitamins, supports lower toxic load, acts as antioxidant and support intestinal integrity and natural cleansing.

Liquorice root

Glycyrrhizin is the main active ingredient, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-allergic properties. It is soothing to peptic ulcers and kidney complaints. It also stimulates two steroids, cortisone and aldosterone, which help reduce inflammation. Glycyrrhizin inhibits liver cell injury caused by chemicals and is used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis, hepatitis B and cirrhosis in Japan. It is also used for adrenal exhaustion.

Glucommanan

A water-soluble polysaccharide that is classed as a form of soluble dietary fibre and is usually derived from konjac root. As such, it is widely used for the treatment of constipation, because it can decrease digestive transit time and is viewed as a "bulk-forming laxative".

Dandelion Root

(Taraxacum officinalis, Taraxacum erythrospermum lat.) — One of the oldest medicinal herbs, traditionally used to support healthy fluid balance in the body and as a natural helper for the stomach and the digestive system. The root is bitter tonic, pancreatic regulator, spleen support, a gentle liver cleanser and tonic which promotes bile flow and thus helps to clear toxins from the body. Rich in minerals such as iron, potassium, zinc and vitamins such as A, B, D and C.
