Laxitives!!!
Please be careful of any cleanse that induces diarrhea either through severe irritatants to the colon (i.e, acids or capsicum (cayenne pepper)), or senna.
Sennas act as purgatives and are similar to aloe and rhubarb in having as active ingredients anthraquinone derivatives and their glucosides. The latter are called sennosides or senna glycosides. Senna alexan...drina is used in modern medicine as a laxative; acting on the lower bowel, it is especially useful in alleviating constipation. It increases the peristaltic movements of the colon by irritating the colonic mucosa. The plants are most often prepared as an infusion. Senna glycosides are listed as ATC code A06AB06 on their own and A06AB56 in combined preparations.
Our cleanse uses nothing but fiber derived from the pysillium plant. Our fiber is not absorbed into the blood stream at all and is NOT a purgative. It simply acts by absorbing water (which is why drinking at least 2 liters of water a day on our plan is essential for it to work its magic :)).
