Colonmax Review
What You Should Know
Colonmax is yet another product aimed at digestive support from Advanced Naturals. It is a magnesium-based formulation that promises to stimulate the colonís normal functions and natural peristalsis, enhance bowel elimination, and hydrate the colon, which are enhanced by the cleansing properties of the product.
List of Ingredients
The ingredients of Colonmax are magnesium hydrochloride, rhubarb root, cape aloe gel, marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, and triphala (blend of amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki).
Product Features
The manufacturers recommend taking one Colonmax capsule once a day during bedtime although the dosage can be increased to two capsules. The website offers suggestions on stimulating normal digestive functions in addition to taking the supplement.
According to the manufacturers, the ingredients of Colonmax work as follows: Magnesium hydrochloride hydrates and softens stool to make for easier bowel movements. Aloe vera and rhubarb root as well as the triphala blend are known as laxative herbs and fruits, respectively. The slippery elm bark soothes the stomach and the marshmallow root possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
However, care must be taken in ingesting the Colonmaxís since magnesium and aloe vera can cause stomach cramps while rhubarb root can strip away the stomachís good bacteria along with the bad bacteria. There are also the unproven claims that marshmallow root can soothe inflammation in the intestine in the same way that it does in other parts of the body like the throat.
Pro’s
- Colonmax is easy to take at just one capsule a day but so are other supplements.
- It can be ordered online through various vendors.
- It cleanses the colon, or attempts to, by using natural and herbal ingredients.
Con’s
- Colonmax is not a weight loss supplement and it does not claim to be either. It just aims to aid in solving problems related to constipation.
- You need to buy potassium and probiotic products with good intestinal bacteria to replace the amounts lost during the product use. In short, it lacks a second restorative phase necessary in true colon cleansing.
- The price per bottle as well as the shipping and handling costs widely varies from one retailer to the next.
- The website holds little information about the product itself except for the usual sales pitch of it being good for your body specifically the digestive system.
- There is no money-back guarantee, which is essential in online products nowadays.
Conclusion
Colonmax is not an outstanding product, not even in the area of colon cleansing. This is primarily because it contains only the first phase in a two-phase colon cleansing process, of which the second phase is restoring the nutrients and bacteria that the first phase stripped away. Its ingredients also have adverse effects on the healthy ecosystem of the digestive system, which almost completely negates its positive results. Its lack of the usual 90-day money back guarantee is sufficient reason not to purchase the product. The most important reason of all that this product is not recommended for those seeking to lose weight is that it is not and never will be a weight loss supplement.
