Colon Cleansers

What is Colon?
The large intestine consists of the cecum and ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon, which is connected to the rectum.

Intestinal contents are liquid when they reach the large intestine but are normally solid by the time they reach the rectum as stool. The many bacteria that inhabit the large intestine can further digest some material, creating gas. Bacteria in the large intestine also make some important substances, such as vitamin K, which plays important role in blood clotting. These bacteria are necessary for healthy intestinal function, and some diseases and antibiotics can upset the balance among the different types of bacteria in the large intestine.

The large intestine does not undergo much change with age. Constipation becomes more common. This may be due partly to a slight slowing in the movement of contents through the large intestine and modest decrease in the contractions of the rectum when filled with stool.

Colon cleansers

One segment of the digestives category that has been growing recently is colon cleansers, although there is some controversy about their safety and efficacy. Herbal colon cleansing products have been surging in popularity.

Colon cleansing helps to remove bits of undigested food and toxic materials that get deposited in the colon over time. Among benefits claimed for colon cleansing are prevention of growth of harmful bacteria in the intestines, relief of constipation and other gastrointestinal ailments.

Complications and risks

People who have diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease or high blood pressure, are advised not to take colon cleansing supplements because of the risk of electrolyte imbalance.

Many colon cleanser supplements contain laxatives, which can remove fluids from the body and cause dehydration.
