The Differences between the Three Intestinal Cleanses.

Intestinal Cleanse 1 provides a different cleansing action than Intestinal 2. They can each be effective for different people, or for the same person under different circumstances. Intestinal Cleanse 3 is a little like both, but has its own unique, gentle action.

Intestinal Cleanse 1 works very well for people whose diets are low in fiber or who tend to have a "lazy" bowel, meaning intestinal muscles are lax due to various causes, including a sedentary lifestyle, the habit of waiting too long to use the bathroom, overeating and stretching the intestinal muscles, or low thyroid function, some medications like pain relievers … or another health issue.

Bowel movements also depend upon the presence of healthy gut bacteria, so when these have been disturbed by antibiotics, chlorinated water, chemicals in processed foods or exposure to mold, regularity can be disrupted.

Many times lifestyle and health issues can be remedied. Intestinal Cleanse 1 can exercise the bowel muscles while these remedies are put in place. Then it may be decreased, and eventually no longer needed.

Intestinal Cleanse 1 is perfect for someone making lifestyle changes who needs a fresh start in their internal environment. Clearing out an overwhelmed intestinal tract can help, and can make one feel so much better! Many people do periodic cleansing a few times a year.

Another use for Intestinal Cleanse 1 is to occasionally clear things out when something unusual has been eaten that has gummed up the works. A couple of days of using Intestinal Cleanse 1 can relieve this.

The herbs in Intestinal Cleanse 1 are somewhat cumulative in effect, so when starting it can take a day or two to get into the system. It may work on one capsule the second time it is taken. If not, it can be increased daily by one capsule until the desired effect is seen.

Intestinal Cleanse 2 detoxifies the gastrointestinal tract, attracting and binding irritating and toxic substances so they can be removed.

Intestinal Cleanse 2 provides fibers, clay and charcoal which move more slowly through the bowel as they attract and capture irritants, chemicals and other toxic waste substances.

There are mucilaginous (gelling) herbs in the formula that lightly coat the inner walls of the gastrointestinal tract, protecting it while irritants and toxic residues are removed. These herbs along with the fiber, tend to help produce soothing bulky, formed stools that move easily. Intestinal Cleanse 2 also contains relaxing and soothing herbs which release tense, tight colon muscles, another possible reason for inhibited bowel movements.

Intestinal Cleanse 2 contains four ingredients that provide soluble fiber, excellent food for probiotic bacteria which promote maintenance of healthy gut tissues. Taken in moderate amounts daily, like 1-3 capsules, this may be helpful for triggering smooth bowel movements. For some people, this fiber is an excellent bowel mover. Unfortunately, it does not work this way for everyone. There is quite a bit of variation.

For other people, the effects of expanding clay outweigh the effects of the fiber, and can tend to slow bowel movements down. Especially when larger amounts of Intestinal Cleanse 2 are taken, 4-6 capsules at a time, more liquids will be absorbed from the intestinal tract, which can often result in slow-moving bulky stools. This is a benefit when stools have been too loose either temporarily from an illness or poor food choices, or chronically. Intestinal Cleanse 2 can be very helpful in these cases.

So paradoxically, Intestinal Cleanse 2 may either decrease or increase bowel movements, or may not affect it. Plenty of liquids and high-water content foods are required to forward the process properly.The main function of Intestinal Cleanse 2 is to absorb and remove substances that were causing toxicity in the body, and soothe the gastrointestinal tract.

Intestinal 1 and 2 may both be used, at different times of the day, because Intestinal Cleanse 1 can keep the bowels moving while Intestinal Cleanse 2 scrubs the intestinal walls and binds irritants and unwanted materials. Taking 3 or more Intestinal Cleanse 2 capsules at a time may require some Intestinal Cleanse 1 temporarily to eliminate accumulated toxic wastes daily.

Our Intestinal Duo Cleanse, and 10 Day or longer Cleanse Program Kits use both Intestinal Cleanse 1 and 2.

Intestinal Cleanse 3 is a liquid, tasty and easy to take for anyone who does not like capsules, including children, pets and seniors. It contains both mucilaginous fiber from fig syrup (unsweetened), and a tiny amount of herbs that promote peristalsis (a small fraction of what is in Intestinal Cleanse 1). This combination promotes bowel movements in ways similar to both Intestinal Cleanse 1 and 2, but it is gentler.

Its unique softening, hydrating action makes Intestinal Cleanse 3 particularly good for those whose stools are hard and dry. This may include the elderly who are often dehydrated, and babies whose diets often include new foods or stresses they react to.

Over a period of several days of taking this liquid, hard stools and unusually narrowed stools may loosen up to be eliminated, and a normal volume of stools may resume.

Cats and dogs may also suffer from slow, dry hard stools, and can benefit from Intestinal Cleanse 3, too.
