Super Pooper Buckthorn Bark This ancient herbal laxative has been used for centuries around the world to provide gentle relief to people who suffer from occasional constipation. And modern science has proven it works to make elimination easier without irritating your delicate tissues. Researchers have found that buckthorn bark contains compounds called anthraquinones that act on the nerves of the intestinal tract. When these nerves are stimulated, your colon does 2 things: it contracts and it attracts more water. The added water makes your stool softer… And the contractions help flush the colon’s contents. Super Pooper Psyllium Husk This is the special fiber I talked about a minute ago. Psyllium seed husks are hygroscopic, which means they expand in water and become “gel-like.” And the unique thing about psyllium is that it isn’t fermented in your gut… Which means it stays intact all the way through your large bowel. This is the key to understanding why psyllium has earned a reputation as a “stool normalizer” that helps you “go right” whether you’re backed up or too loose. It’s actually pretty incredible when you think about it, but a series of studies prove it. For constipation, researchers found that psyllium softened poop, which made it easier to pass. It also made poop travel faster through the intestines. And much to the relief of the constipated folks who took part in the studies, psyllium helped them poop more often. In one of the studies, researchers found that psyllium worked even better than an ingredient that’s found in some of the most popular “regularity products” in your local drugstore.5 (There’s a good chance you’ve tried at least one of them before.) But here’s what I find incredible… Psyllium had the exact OPPOSITE effect for people who had diarrhea. Their stools got firmer and moved more slowly through the intestines. They also went LESS often and weren’t plagued by the dreaded gotta-go-now urgency that’s guaranteed to send you into a potty-seeking panic. And as a bonus, psyllium husk also supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Super Pooper Rhubarb (Root) The Hopi Indians of China and Tibet used Rhubarb root to promote healthy bowel movements as far back as 2700 B.C. Fast forward a few thousand years, and this root was one of the most expensive herbs in the world – more valuable even than opium among herb traders! What’s so great about it that it’s been used for nearly 5,000 years? Rhubarb helps purge your bowel of stool that’s stuck as well as irritating toxins. It also helps tone the colon, encouraging healthy function, contraction, and elimination. Super Pooper Licorice (Root) Licorice root is another herb that promotes peristalsis. It also guards digestive mucous membranes by increasing the production of mucin, a secretion that protects your gut linings against stomach acid and other digestive juices. Although licorice has been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years, western medicine is just beginning to catch on to its wonders. Researchers are currently looking into the different ways licorice affects the body’s microbiome in ongoing clinical trials. Studies in the lab have already shown that it can balance gut microbiota in a way that helps support a healthy inflammatory response and promote good health.6 It’s also been shown to improve the function of the intestinal epithelium, whose job it is to let good substances into your body and keep bad substances out. Super Pooper Milk Thistle Extract When toxins build up in your body because of backed up stool, it takes a real toll on your liver. That’s where milk thistle extract comes in… Milk thistle extract contains a special flavonoid called silymarin, which acts like a shield to protect your liver from these dangerous toxins. In fact, studies show this amazing compound even protects liver and kidney cells from chemotherapy and other drugs without altering the effect of the drugs.7 Why is it so important to keep your liver clear of these toxins? Well, because a lot of these toxins are fat-soluble, they end up being stored in your fatty organs… Like your liver, brain and hormonal glands. Over time, they can cause a ton of damage to your body. This makes milk thistle extract an invaluable supplement for anyone who wants to protect their liver from toxic waste caused by ongoing GI problems. Super Pooper Ginger (Root) Ginger root is one of the most important herbs in both traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Although it’s been used for hundreds of years to relieve everything from motion sickness to migraines, it’s best-known for its powerful effect on the digestive system. Multiple studies show ginger speeds up gastric motility – or how fast food passes through your digestive system. Others show it helps remove hardened fecal matter by stimulating the secretion of digestive juices to flush your colon. Those would be reason enough to include ginger in Natural Cleanse... But the main reason we made sure ginger was part of our gut-soothing formula? It can help relieve embarrassing gas! Research shows ginger has a carminative effect, which just means it can break up troublesome gas pockets and help your body expel them in a more discreet way.8 And that brings us to... Super Pooper Cloves (Buds) When it comes to aiding digestion, cloves do a lot of things very well… And it’s mostly because they contain a powerful healing component called eugenol. One way cloves help with gut health is by increasing the production of mucus, which coats and helps protect the lining of your intestines.9 Scientists have found that this ability to thicken the mucosal layer of the intestines protects your gut against invading pathogens that can make you sick.10 Studies also show cloves increase your gut muscle’s ability to push food through your digestive system just as well as some of Big Pharma’s chemical drugs.11 And that’s not all… Along with eugenol, scientists have discovered 4 other remarkable compounds in cloves that work with eugenol to increase the production of the super-antioxidant glutathione S-transferase.12 Glutathione protects cells from oxidative stress, which causes damage to cells, proteins, and even your DNA. More glutathione in your gut means a healthier gut – and that’s a big reason why including cloves was a natural choice.
