Additional Cleansing for your Colon and Liver
Mega Cleanse Extra
This formula initiates the cleansing and healing process by enhancing the colon’s ability to move excess, hard fecal waste out of the colon without painful evacuations. It also provides extra cleansing and healing for the liver.*
This formula contains Cascara Sagrada, Spirulina, Aloe Vera, Chlorella, Beet Root, Licorice Root, Slippery Elm Bark, Marshmallow Root, Red Raspberry Leaves, Barberry Root, Ginger Root, Artichoke Extract, and Acidophilus. (see "Mega-Cleanse Ingredients" ). This product can be taken with the Mega-Cleanse Internal Cleansing Complex, or by itself. However, for the most thorough cleanse it is best to take both formulas.
Artichoke Extract has been shown to enhance detoxification reactions as well as protect the liver from damage. This combination of effects is very important to healthy liver function. During detoxification in the liver the toxic substance is often initially converted to an even more toxic form. Without adequate protection, every time the liver neutralizes a toxin, it is damaged in the process and needs to be eliminated from the body as soon as possible. One of the primary routes of elimination is through the bile. However, when the manufacture or excretion of bile is inhibited, toxins stay in the liver and body longer. Artichoke extract has been shown to increase the formation and flow of bile thus providing valuable protection to the liver and the body. Bile also plays an important role in softening the stool by promoting the incorporation of water. Without bile the stool can become very hard and difficult to pass.
Beet Root has a cleansing effect on the colon and the liver.
Slippery Elm has the ability to neutralize stomach acid. It acts as a buffer against irritation and inflammation of the mucous membranes. It also assists the activity of the adrenal glands and boosts the output of a hormone called cortin, which helps send a stream of blood building substances through the system. It is also excellent for the respiratory and digestive system.
Marshmallow Root is a great healing herb. It soothes and relieves bronchial irritations and helps to remove mucus from the lungs. Marshmallow is protective and healing to the irritations associated with diarrhea. It also soothes occasional joints and gastrointestinal tract irritations.
Red Raspberry is helpful for nausea and aids digestion. It relaxes uterine and intestinal spasms. It also helps to reduce pain during menstruation. It is known to be good for many female annoyances including hot flashes. It also promotes healthy nails, bones, teeth and skin.
Barberry Root is called one of the best medicinal herbs of the west. It is used for fever and inflammatory conditions. It has a wonderful influence upon the liver by helping the bile to flow more freely, which is important in almost all liver problems. It also helps to remove morbid matter from the stomach and bowels. It dilates the blood vessels, aiding the circulatory system.*
Acidophilus restores the friendly bacteria in the colon. More than 400 different kinds of bacteria live in our gastrointestinal tract. The body depends on beneficial bacteria to manufacture B vitamins as well as to produce lactase and other substances.* Commercial food processing procedures often destroy viable beneficial organisms, making it difficult for the body to maintain good intestinal flora. Preservatives, additives, high-fat diets, alcohol, birth control pills, and stress can all result in poor intestinal flora. Antibiotic drugs are especially damaging to intestinal flora and kill all kinds of bacteria, both good and bad.
The important benefits of adding Acidophilus to your diet include: helping relieve constipation and mild diarrhea, reduction of bad breath, reduction of internal gas, maintaining cholesterol levels by promoting normal absorption of dietary fats, suppression of candida yeast, and providing relief to a number of intestinal upsets.*
