COLON SUPPORT
Herbal Extract {1 ounce}
Product Summary
The longest part of the large intestine, the colon is a major organ responsible for waste removal in the body. It receives almost completely digested food from the cecum, absorbs water and nutrients, and passes waste on to the rectum. Although not a subject most people want to talk about, colon health is incredibly important. *
Our Colon Support Extract is a proprietary blend of herbs formulated to benefit normal colon function, reduce inflammation, promote healthy digestion, and support gentle regularity, without unpleasant after-effects.*

Ingredient Highlights
Ginger Root: Well-known for its ability to reduce gas and improve digestion. Research shows ginger has beneficial effects on the enzyme pancreatic lipase, which aids digestion in the small intestine.*
Rhubarb Root: High in fiber, rhubarb helps keep things moving through the digestive tract. It contains compounds called sennosides that act as natural laxatives, and also has tannins that provide anti-diarrheal effects.*
Cascara Sagrada: Considered a stimulant laxative, cascara sagrada causes intestinal muscle contractions similar to other natural laxatives. Unlike other natural laxatives, however, cascara sagrada tends to be gentler.*
Fennel Seed: Shown in studies to help with digestion by reducing inflammation in the bowels and decreasing bacteria that cause gassiness. May be helpful in relieving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.*
Raspberry Leaf: Used for centuries as a natural remedy for allevitating digestive issues. Shown in studies to possess antiinflammatory properties effective at reducing and soothing internal inflammation
Suggested Use
Add 10 to 20 drops (approx. 1/16 tsp.) to water or juice several times each day, as needed.
