Digestive wellbeing is an important part of everyday comfort, and many people are interested in the role that fibre and diet play in maintaining a healthy digestive routine.
Simply Pure Herbal Colon Cleanse combines three different plant fibres, eight botanical extracts, bacterial cultures, vitamin C and calcium in one comprehensive formulation.
Rather than focusing on a single herb, the formula brings together ingredients with different characteristics, from the water-absorbing properties of psyllium and glucomannan to the aromatic compounds naturally found in fennel and anise.
Psyllium husk, inulin and glucomannan are all dietary fibres, but they behave differently.
Psyllium absorbs water and forms a gel-like consistency. Inulin is a fermentable fibre that can be used by certain bacteria in the intestine. Glucomannan, derived from the konjac plant, is particularly well known for its water-binding properties.
Together, they provide three distinct types of fibre in a single formula.
Fennel, anise, liquorice and gentian have long histories of use in European and other traditional herbal medicine.
Fennel and anise are valued for their distinctive aromatic compounds, while gentian is particularly associated with the intensely bitter constituents found in its root.
The formulation also includes cranberry, aloe vera, rhubarb and buckthorn extracts, adding further botanical diversity.
Some of these plants contain constituents with laxative activity, making the intended duration of use important.
Alongside the fibres and botanical ingredients, our formula includes Lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacterial species used in fermented foods and dietary supplements.
It also contains vitamin C, which contributes to normal immune function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and calcium, which contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.
The combination is supplied in convenient capsules, avoiding the need to measure and prepare multiple separate herbal powders or infusions.
Each bottle contains 90 capsules, providing a 30-day supply at the recommended serving of three capsules daily. We would not recommend taking our colon cleanse supplement for extended periods, due to its laxative properties.
Psyllium husk, inulin and konjac glucomannan bring together soluble and fermentable fibres with distinct characteristics.
Cranberry, aloe vera, anise, fennel, rhubarb, liquorice, buckthorn and gentian create a varied botanical formulation, combining aromatic herbs, roots and fruit-derived ingredients.
The formula also includes Lactobacillus acidophilus, vitamin C and calcium, bringing together botanical and nutritional ingredients in one capsule to contribute to a healthy gut.
These three ingredients have been included because they behave differently within the digestive system.
Psyllium husk is a soluble fibre that absorbs water and forms a soft, gel-like substance. At appropriate doses, psyllium has been studied for its ability to increase stool bulk and support bowel regularity. It is particularly relevant to a colon-focused formulation because of these water-binding properties.
Inulin works differently. Rather than simply absorbing water, it can be fermented by certain bacteria living in the large intestine. This makes it interesting from the perspective of the intestinal microbiota and the relationship between dietary fibre and digestive health.
Glucomannan, derived from the konjac plant, is another highly water-absorbing fibre. Its ability to form a viscous gel has attracted scientific interest in relation to digestive processes.
Why include all three? They provide a combination of water-binding and fermentable fibres rather than relying on one type alone.
Fennel and anise have been included because of their long-standing association with digestive preparations, particularly those traditionally used after meals.
Fennel seed contains aromatic compounds, including anethole. Fennel preparations have traditionally been used for digestive complaints such as bloating, wind and feelings of fullness. Researchers have also investigated the effects of fennel constituents on intestinal smooth muscle.
Anise seed contains similar aromatic compounds and has traditionally been used in herbal preparations associated with flatulence and digestive discomfort.
Gentian has been included because it belongs to a distinctive group of plants traditionally known as digestive bitters.
Gentian root contains intensely bitter compounds, including gentiopicroside and amarogentin. Bitter herbal preparations have historically been taken before or around meals, based on the traditional belief that bitter tastes stimulate digestive secretions and appetite.
Liquorice root has a long history of use in herbal preparations associated with the stomach and digestive tract.
It contains glycyrrhizin, flavonoids and other naturally occurring plant compounds. Liquorice has been investigated for its effects on gastric tissues and digestive symptoms.
These ingredients have a very specific historical association with bowel function.
Rhubarb root contains compounds known as anthraquinones, including derivatives that can have stimulant laxative effects. Rhubarb preparations have traditionally been used for short-term relief of occasional constipation.
Buckthorn has also been used traditionally in laxative preparations. Certain bark preparations contain hydroxyanthracene derivatives that can stimulate bowel movement.
Aloe leaves consist largely of water and polysaccharides and have been investigated for various gastrointestinal applications. They are linked to digestive comfort and can have soothing benefits.
Cranberry is better known for its association with urinary tract research, but it also contains naturally occurring compounds of interest to researchers studying the intestinal environment.
These include proanthocyanidins and other polyphenols, which can interact with microorganisms and undergo metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract.
The digestive tract naturally contains a complex community of microorganisms, and certain bacterial cultures have been extensively investigated for their interactions with this environment.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is one such species, used in fermented foods such as live yogurt and dietary supplements.
The formula also contains two established nutrients.
Vitamin C contributes to normal immune system function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes, making it particularly relevant to the nutritional positioning of a digestive supplement.
Why include them? They provide essential nutrients alongside the botanical blend. Calcium has a recognised role in normal digestive enzyme function.

Herbal Colon Cleanse is a multi-ingredient supplement combining soluble plant fibres, traditional botanical extracts, Lactobacillus acidophilus, vitamin C and calcium.
Products described as herbal colon cleanses traditionally combine ingredients associated with healthy bowel function, including dietary fibres and herbal preparations. These can support healthy digestion and bowel function.
Psyllium, inulin and glucomannan have different characteristics.
Psyllium and glucomannan absorb water, while inulin can be fermented by certain intestinal bacteria.
Fennel and anise have long histories of use in traditional digestive preparations.
Both contain aromatic compounds, including anethole, and have traditionally been associated with digestive comfort and the management of wind and bloating.
Gentian is a traditional bitter herb, recognised for the intensely bitter compounds found in its root and has historically been used in preparations associated with appetite and digestion.
Certain rhubarb and buckthorn preparations have a history of use as stimulant laxatives.
They contain compounds that influence intestinal movement, which helps explain their traditional inclusion in bowel-related herbal formulas.
Aloe vera has a long history of use in herbal preparations, and is recognised for its soothing and comforting properties.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a species of lactic acid-producing bacteria used in certain fermented foods, such as live yogurt, and can contribute to healthy gut bacteria.
Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.
Yes. Each capsule provides 19mg of vitamin C, equivalent to 24% of the Nutrient Reference Value.
Vitamin C contributes to normal immune system function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Some ingredients in the formula, particularly certain preparations of rhubarb and buckthorn, have traditionally been used for their laxative properties.
However, persistent constipation, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
We recommend one capsule three times daily for a short term boost to improve bowel function.
However, because the formula includes botanical extracts that contain stimulant laxative constituents, daily or prolonged use should only be on the advice of a healthcare professional.
No. The current formula contains gelatine capsules and is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Each bottle contains 90 capsules, equivalent to a 30-day supply at the stated intake of three capsules daily.
The product is manufactured in the UK.
