As far as colon cleansing products go, Colozone is one of the oldest colon cleansing products available--it originated in Germany in 1898, where colon cleansing initially became popular. Today Colozone's formula is nearly unchanged, as is its promise: take this supplement every day to cleanse your colon with oxygen, which allows it to detoxify. Though some experts believe oxygen isn't effective for colon detoxification, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg says it can reduce your risk for cancer and degenerative diseases, improving your quality of life.
What ingredients are in Colozone? Colozone contains magnesium and a proprietary blend of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide.
Do the ingredients in Colozone cleanse the colon? Though there is little evidence it can remove intestinal toxins, it does promote healthy bowel function. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, magnesium hydroxide helps treat constipation, a common digestive disorder that makes it difficult to have normal bowel movements. Unlike other laxatives such as senna or aloe vera, magnesium hydroxide draws water into the intestine instead of stimulating the bowel's nerve cells, resulting in safe and gentle evacuation. Magneisum hydroxide also causes waste to evacuate from the colon, not the bowel, making it effective for eliminating waste--and possible toxins--from this area of the body. It also has a surprising side effect--it soothes stomach acid, which can cause stomach discomfort, pain or heartburn.
Is Colozone safe? Although Colozone is generally safe, it may not be safe for people with kidney disease. Magnesium hydroxide can worsen this condition. Other side effects are mild and include diarrhea, mild stomach cramps and nausea.
Verdict: Although it lacks some key ingredients, Colozone does contain effective ingredients that can promote the elimination of waste and toxins, which helps cleanse the colon. It does contain some safety concerns, however.
