Do I have to wait to eat if I just took Colon Cleanse?
No, you do not have to wait. Because Colon Cleanse is a soluble fiber and swells up in your stomach it has the effect of making you feel less hungry if taken about an hour before meals. So unless you are trying to eat less, take it after meals.
Do I take Colon Cleanse with food?

You may take the Colon Cleanse anytime you wish, even on an empty stomach. Our recommendation is that you take Colon Cleanse at least one hour before or after meals. Colon Cleanse works by forming a gel-like substance in your stomach, which absorbs all the waste in your system as it passes though your small intestine and colon, before finally being eliminated.

Do the enzymes survive stomach acid?
Yes, but they however it must be taken with food to do so.
Does Probiotic Fiber need to be refrigerated?
No. The probiotics are freeze dried, which preserves the cultures. However, the product is sensitive to high temperatures.
Does my body decrease enzyme production as I age?
Yes. Age is a large reason that so many older individuals suffer from indigestion as opposed to younger individuals. Your body begins to decrease enzyme production, creating digestive stress that leads to heart burn, poor nutrient absorption, and indigestion.
Does the soluble fiber from COLON CLEANSE® regulate cholesterol?
Cholesterol attaches itself to fiber and is carried out of the body with solid waste matter, so soluble fiber from foods such as Psyllium Husk, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.  A serving of Colon Cleanse® supplies 5 of the 7 grams of soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect.
How do I use the fat burners?

Take 4 capsules daily, preferably 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, before each meal or before exercise. The Fat Burners work best when taken 1/2 hour before exercising, because as you are working out the L-Carnitine and Chromuim Picolinate metabolize your stored fat into energy, causing you to burn more of your stored fat. Chromium Picolinate is an essential trace element which may help with the regulation of blood sugar levels. L-Caritine is an important amino acid that assists in fat metabolism.

This is not a miracle diet. For best results follow these suggestions: eat a well balanced meal, eat breakfast every day to help kick start your metabolism, eat a small nutritious snack every four hours in-between meals to keep your metabolism going, exercise at least three times a week if not more, drink at least eight 8 oz. glasses of water daily, and get at least eight hours of sleep per night.

How does Colon Cleanse clean the colon?
Colon Cleanse is made of 100% psyllium husk. Psyllium helps to absorb toxins in the colon by creating a spongy, gelantinous mass in the bowels. By swelling and absorbing fluids, it breaks down and moves waste matter stuck in the folds and crevices of the colon. A clean colon inhibits bacteria from surviving on human waste. Psyllium husk soothes the lining of the bowel and leaves a thin slippery film along the inner lining of the colon, which makes it easier for waste generated later to move along smoothly.

Depending on the individual, as little as one teaspoon a day can promote regularity. One tablespoon up to three times daily is the maximum dose.

Is the Psyllium in COLON CLEANSE® a fiber from wheat grain?

Psyllium is a fiber grain, but however it is not related to wheat. Psyllium is a natural bulking agent that yields 60 to 70 percent soluble fiber, eight times that of oat bran. Psyllium expands 50-60 times in the stomach to provide this bulk or "roughage."

Is there an appropriate diet for Colon Cleanse?
Common sense about eating healthy foods is always recommended. Please drink plenty of fluids, and continue your normal healthy diet.
Should I stop taking Super Colon Cleanse and Colon Cleanse Regular?
If you are enjoying our other products, we suggest that you sample Max Line, note changes you may feel that you like or dislike, then customize your cleansing regimen.
The Max Line Formulations are similar to one another. Why?
At first glance the formulations may seem similar, but a closer look will reveal that each product in the Colon Cleanse Max Line (Super Fiber Blend, Probiotic Fiber, and Digesti Cleanse) is unique, producing a specific benefit while enhancing another benefit. For example, Super Fiber Blend's main benefit is multiple sources of fiber, but it also enhances the benefits of Ultra Fiber Biotic because of the proprietary blend of the probiotics & prebiotics.
What are digestive enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are proteins that break down food, speeding the process of absorption the body needs for survival.
What are the common side effects of Colon Cleanse?
Some of the side effects of Colon Cleanse are gas and bloating. These usually occur with first time users because their systems may not be used to the amount of fiber that is in Colon Cleanse. In this situation we recommend that you cut the dosage in half and slowly increase to the recommened dosage over a period of a few weeks.
What can else can I do if I don’t want to take any colon cleanse product?
Drink plenty of water, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, which naturally contain fiber, antioxidants and some enzymes (such as papain from papaya). In addition, sometimes stress causes digestive insufficiency, so learning how to manage stress levels will greatly help prevent digestive disturbances. Eat slowly; don't cram your mouth with food, don't gulp down your food. Chewing slowly releases specific enzymes in saliva that start to break down the food. Finally, eat only until you are satisfied; don't eat until you are full, which stresses the bloated stomach to work overtime in processing its load.

What is used to sweeten the sugar-free Colon Cleanse?

Why is fiber so important?

It keeps the digestive tract from getting clogged up with mucus, toxins and metabolic waste; keeps the colon clean and waste matter moving; and feeds and maintains a healthy intestinal flora.

Why must I eat a meal with Digesti Cleanse?
