Colon support formula starts to promote colon health immediately when you start using the product, and also acts as a long term protector of the colon. Colon Care provides a balance of essential soluble and insoluble fiber, and is a concentrated source of all 5 fiber types, for complete fiber benefits. Fiber and calcium help to absorb toxins and waste material, speed transit time through the colon, and remove toxins from the body. This helps to maintain a normal, healthy colonic mucosa (cells lining the colon wall). By supporting the integrity of the colonic mucosa, toxins and waste material are less likely to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream through the colon wall. FOS acts as a food source for beneficial bacteria such as acidophilus and bifidus, which are important for proper digestion and colon health. Selenium and magnesium have important protective benefits in the colon.
