- Nausea, vomiting
- Severe constipation
IF YOU EXPERIENCE CHEST PAIN, VOMITING, OR DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING OR BREATHING AFTER TAKING THIS PRODUCT, SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
To reduce risk:
- Always take with at least 8 oz (240 mL) of water
-
Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day (inadequate hydration worsens fiber-related constipation)
- Do not take if you have difficulty swallowing
- Start with one capsule to assess tolerance before taking two
⚠️ DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSE:
- Do not take more than 2 capsules per day.
- Taking excessive fiber or herbal laxatives can cause serious digestive issues, electrolyte imbalances, and dependency.
❌ DO NOT USE IF:
- You are pregnant or nursing (consult physician first — some herbal ingredients may affect pregnancy or lactation)
- You are under the age of 18 (consult physician first)
- You have a known medical condition (consult physician first)
- You have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) — fiber supplements can cause choking or blockage

🩺 CONSULT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE USE IF YOU:
- Are taking prescription medications (fiber can interfere with medication absorption; herbal ingredients can interact with various drugs)
- Have gastrointestinal disorders (GERD, diverticulitis, gastritis, ulcers, IBS, IBD, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea)
- Have kidney disease or impaired kidney function
- Have liver disease or impaired liver function
- Have diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues (ginger and other ingredients may affect blood sugar)
- Have bleeding disorders or clotting issues (ginger and other herbal ingredients may affect blood clotting)
- Have cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure
- Have a history of eating disorders (cleanses and detox products can be misused in individuals with disordered eating)
- Are scheduled for surgery or colonoscopy (discontinue at least 2 weeks prior — fiber and herbal laxatives may interfere with procedures)
- Are taking other supplements containing fiber, laxatives, or herbal ingredients (to avoid excessive intake)
- Have experienced sudden changes in bowel habits lasting more than 2 weeks (can indicate serious medical conditions — consult a physician)
⚠️ POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS:
Fiber (Psyllium, Inulin):
-
Gas, bloating, abdominal cramping (especially when first starting or if taken in excessive amounts)
-
Diarrhea or loose stools (if fiber intake is too high or if sensitive)
-
Constipation or intestinal blockage (if inadequate fluid intake)
-
Choking (if not taken with sufficient water)
-
Allergic reactions (rare but possible with psyllium — symptoms include itching, rash, difficulty breathing, swelling)
Aloe Ferox / Aloe-Based Laxatives:
-
Cramping, diarrhea, electrolyte imbalances (with excessive or prolonged use)
-
Dependency (chronic use of stimulant laxatives can lead to "lazy bowel syndrome," where the bowel becomes dependent on laxatives for normal function)
-
Dehydration (due to increased bowel movements)
-
Low potassium levels (hypokalemia) — can cause muscle weakness, heart rhythm problems
-
Liver toxicity (rare but reported with long-term use of aloe latex or aloe-based laxatives)
Ginger:
- Heartburn, digestive upset, diarrhea (especially at higher doses)
- May increase bleeding risk (especially when combined with blood-thinning medications)
- May lower blood sugar (can cause hypoglycemia in diabetics taking medication)
Black Walnut Hull:
- Digestive upset, nausea, diarrhea
- Allergic reactions (especially in individuals with tree nut allergies)
-
May interfere with iron absorption (contains tannins)
Chlorella:
- Digestive upset, nausea, gas, diarrhea (especially when first starting)
- Allergic reactions (rare)
- Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight) in some individuals
Slippery Elm, Papaya, Hyssop, Lycopene:
- Generally well-tolerated, but individual sensitivities and allergic reactions are possible
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING — DO NOT USE AS A LONG-TERM "CLEANSE" OR "DETOX":
This product should NOT be used continuously for extended periods. Chronic use of fiber and herbal laxatives can cause:
-
Laxative dependency — bowel becomes unable to function normally without laxatives
-
Electrolyte imbalances (low potassium, magnesium, sodium) — can cause heart rhythm problems, muscle weakness, fatigue
- Dehydration
-
Malabsorption of nutrients (chronic diarrhea prevents nutrient absorption)
-
Damage to the enteric nervous system (nerves controlling bowel function)
If you are experiencing chronic constipation or feel you need ongoing "cleansing," consult a healthcare provider. Chronic bowel issues can indicate underlying medical conditions (hypothyroidism, IBS, pelvic floor dysfunction, colorectal issues) that require proper diagnosis and treatment — not over-the-counter cleanse products.
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING — FIBER CAN INTERFERE WITH MEDICATION ABSORPTION:
Fiber supplements can bind to medications and reduce their absorption, potentially making them less effective. This is especially important for:
-
Thyroid medications (levothyroxine)
- Diabetes medications
-
Heart medications (digoxin)
-
Cholesterol-lowering medications (statins)
- Seizure medications
- Antidepressants
- Antibiotics
If you are taking prescription medications, take this supplement at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after your medications, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Storage
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.
Understanding "Cleanse" and "Detox" Products
What is a "Cleanse" or "Detox"?
"Cleanse" and "detox" are marketing terms used to describe products claimed to remove "toxins" from the body, improve digestive health, or support weight loss. These products typically contain:
-
Fiber (to promote bowel movements and increase stool bulk)
-
Herbal laxatives (to stimulate bowel contractions and speed transit time)
-
Botanical extracts (with various claimed benefits)
Do You Need a "Cleanse"?
No. The human body has highly effective built-in detoxification systems:
-
Liver — filters blood, metabolizes toxins, produces bile for fat digestion
-
Kidneys — filter blood, excrete waste products and excess substances through urine
-
Digestive system — eliminates waste through bowel movements
-
Skin — excretes some waste through sweat
-
Lungs — expel carbon dioxide and other volatile compounds
Your body does not accumulate "toxins" that need to be flushed out with cleanse products. If your liver or kidneys are not functioning properly, you need medical treatment — not a supplement.
What Does This Product Actually Do?
This supplement provides:
-
Fiber (psyllium, inulin) — increases stool bulk, promotes regular bowel movements, supports digestive health
-
Herbal laxatives (aloe) — stimulate bowel contractions, speed up transit time (can cause dependency with chronic use)
-
Botanical extracts (ginger, papaya, chlorella, etc.) — provide various nutrients and compounds with antioxidant or digestive support properties
In practice, this product will likely cause:
-
More frequent bowel movements (due to fiber and laxative effects)
-
Softer, bulkier stools (due to fiber)
-
Possible temporary weight loss (from water loss and increased bowel movements — NOT fat loss)
This is NOT "detoxification" — it's increased bowel activity.
Important Considerations:
-
Cleanses do not remove "toxins" — they increase bowel movements, which may make you feel lighter or less bloated temporarily, but this is not detoxification.
-
Weight loss from cleanses is temporary — any weight lost is water weight and stool, not fat. Weight returns once you stop the product.
-
Cleanses can be harmful — chronic use causes laxative dependency, electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and nutrient malabsorption.
-
Cleanses are unnecessary — a balanced diet rich in fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes), adequate hydration, and regular physical activity naturally support healthy digestion and bowel function.
Setting Realistic Expectations
✅ What This Product IS:
- A fiber and herbal supplement designed to support digestive wellness and regular bowel movements*
- A source of soluble fiber (psyllium, inulin) and traditional botanical ingredients
- Potentially helpful for supporting occasional constipation or increasing fiber intake (when combined with adequate water)*
- A vegetarian-friendly capsule
❌ What This Product is NOT:
- NOT a "detox" or "cleanse" that removes "toxins" from your body (your liver and kidneys do this naturally)
- NOT a weight loss product (any weight loss is temporary water/stool weight, not fat)
- NOT a treatment for chronic constipation, IBS, IBD, or other digestive disorders
- NOT safe for long-term or continuous use (risk of laxative dependency and side effects)
- NOT appropriate for pregnant/nursing women, children, or individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, bowel obstruction, or numerous other medical conditions without professional guidance
- NOT a substitute for a balanced diet rich in fiber, adequate hydration, and healthy lifestyle habits
Healthy Digestion Without "Cleanses"
If you want to support healthy digestion and regular bowel movements naturally:
1. Eat a High-Fiber Diet:
-
Fruits: Apples, pears, berries, prunes, oranges
-
Vegetables: Broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, Brussels sprouts
-
Whole Grains: Oats, quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat bread
-
Legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas
-
Target: 25-35 grams of fiber per day
2. Stay Hydrated:
- Drink at least 8 glasses (64 oz / 2 liters) of water per day
- Adequate hydration is essential for fiber to work properly
3. Exercise Regularly:
- Physical activity stimulates bowel motility
- Even 20-30 minutes of walking per day can improve digestion
4. Manage Stress:
- Chronic stress disrupts digestive function
- Practice relaxation techniques (meditation, deep breathing, yoga)
5. Establish Regular Bowel Habits:
- Go to the bathroom at the same time each day (often after breakfast)
- Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement
6. Avoid Over-Reliance on Laxatives:
- Chronic laxative use causes dependency
- Address root causes of constipation instead (diet, hydration, lifestyle)
Bottom line: You don't need cleanses or detox products. Your body is already equipped to eliminate waste efficiently. Support it with healthy habits, not supplements.
When to Consult a Healthcare Provider
Seek professional medical advice if you:
- Have chronic constipation (fewer than 3 bowel movements per week for several weeks)
- Have sudden changes in bowel habits (persistent diarrhea, constipation, or alternating between both)
- Experience blood in stool, black or tarry stools, or unexplained weight loss
- Have severe or persistent abdominal pain, bloating, or cramping
- Have nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
- Have been diagnosed with IBS, IBD, diverticulitis, or other gastrointestinal disorders
- Are taking prescription medications and want guidance on timing fiber supplementation
- Feel you need ongoing "cleansing" or laxatives to have normal bowel movements (can indicate underlying issues or laxative dependency)
- Experience chest pain, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty breathing after taking fiber supplements (seek emergency medical attention)
