Detox-10 Colon Cleanser is a nutritional supplement that claims to eliminate “drug toxins” naturally—or the toxins caused by steroid or marijuana use, according to some reports. They also claim you'll notice results in less than a day of use.

“The Detox-10TM speeds up the detoxification process in which the body eliminates toxins,” says the makers of Detox-10. “Detox-10TM works by ridding your system of drug toxins for a period of several hours.”

Obviously, this supplement isn't a true colon cleanser—but it can help speed up the process of toxin elimination from the colon, which may help people test “clean”.

What ingredients are in Detox-10 Colon Cleanser? Detox-10 Colon Cleanser contains a proprietary blend of alfalfa leaf, psyllium husks, lemon peel, wheatgrass rhubarb, buckthorn leaf, gentian root, tumeric root and peppermint leaf.

Do the ingredients in Detox-10 Colon Cleanser promote colon cleansing? It can—but its effects are probably minimal at best. WebMD.com, a medical website, reports that psyllium husk has been scientifically proven to eliminate stool buildup from the colon, making it ideal for colon cleansing. Unfortunately, this is all it eliminates—there's no proof that it can remove or eliminate toxins from the intestinal tract, despite what Detox-10 claims.

Its remaining ingredients contain few health benefits, if any. Several of its ingredients contains diuretic properties, which may induce urine secretion. This may help reduce the level of toxins detected in the blood.

Is Detox-10 Colon Cleanser safe? It appears to be well tolerated. Psyllium husk is considered a choking hazard, however. This danger can be mitigated by drinking at least 8 ounces of water before taking the supplement.

Verdict: Although it may help in the elimination of toxins, it isn't accurate to say it can completely eliminate toxins from the colon. It's also misleading to call this a colon cleanser—it plays no part in the cleansing that is typically promoted by more traditional colon cleansing products.
