Full product descriptionColon Support is a combination of soluble fibre, insoluble fibre and probiotic colon-friendly bacteria.
Full product descriptionThe colon or large intestine is 6 feet long, 3-3 inches in diameter.
The colon absorbs water and minerals forming the stool for elimination. The stool will carry out the remains of the digested food along with any toxins. It is full of 60 varieties of bacteria, importantly the bacillus coli and acidophilus that maintains the pH of the colon, synthesise some nutrients from food such as folic acid, vitamin K and some B vitamins and by their presence in large numbers prevent the proliferation of the harmful bacteria.
Ingestion of food to elimination takes between 12-24 hours in a healthy colon and normal bowel movements occur 2-3 times a day. Healthy bowel elimination will have no offensive odour and the stool is properly formed and easy to pass. Infrequent bowel movements may be due to lack of water intake or an imbalance in the gut flora such as the fungal overgrowth of candida. This may result in toxins from pathogens (fungi, bacteria or parasites) or by -products from undigested food remaining in the colon or being reabsorbed.
Fibre plays a vital role in a healthy intestine. It cannot be digested and therefore “bulks “ the stool. It can also promote the health of good bacteria and slow the absorption of sugars. There are two types of fibre.
1) Soluble fibre- this dissolves into a gel like consistency that helps slow digestion, maintaining that full feeling. It is found in nuts and some vegetables and fruits.
2) Insoluble fibre that does not dissolve at all and adds bulk to the stools such carrots and green leafy vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain both soluble and insoluble fibre
The Recommended daily allowance for fibre is 18gm a day
