The new member of the colon cleansing community is oxygen. Oxy-Powder claims to use the power of oxygen to effectively cleanse the colon while remaining safe enough to use for extended periods of time. The product also claims to relieve the bloating, bowel irritation and constipation often associated with a sluggish colon. Are these claims really true or is this just another product that wants to sell, sell, sell and then vanish from the Internet?
Ingredients
Ozonated Magnesium Oxides, Organic Germanium-132, Natural Citric Acid, Organic Gum Acacia and Kosher Certified Vegetarian Capsules.
Features
The official website for Oxy-Powder does include a list of ingredients, but there is no way of knowing whether this list is complete. There are also no amounts listed for each of the ingredients. This leaves the consumer wondering how much of each ingredient is included, which is something a screen shot of the nutritional label on the bottle would provide. Oxy-Powder is quit to explain why oxygen is not included as one of the ingredients. According to the official website, Oxy-Powder creates oxygen when the ingredients hit the acids in the stomach.
The facts, or FAQs, section of the website provides information about the Oxy-Powder colon cleansing system and how the body may react to the cleanse. The first fact explores the safety of the product and states, "You may experience watery, gaseous stools, noisy bowel sounds, or minor temporary cramping (due to gas) while taking Oxy-Powder." The facts go on to state that this colon cleansing supplement is safe for extended periods of use.
Further facts explore common colon cleansing topics like weight loss, health conditions and frequency of bowel movements.
Clinical Studies
There is a complete section provided with information regarding the safety and efficacy of the ingredients used in this colon cleanser. More than one of the "clinical" studies referred specifically to Oxy-Powder have been completed by the same research company in Mumbai, India. These studies may be paid for by the creators of the product, Global Healing Center.
Global Healing Center is the creation of Dr. Edward Group. The doctor is a chiropractic doctor who holds certificates in naturopathy, alternative medicine and ministry.
The product retails for $44.95 per bottle and contains 120 capsules. The supplement is taken as four to six capsules every night before bed for seven days and then as a maintenance dose of four to six capsules two to three times a week.
The Good
- One bottle of this colon cleanser can last more than one month.
- The instructions for the cleanse are simple to follow and include instructions for following a healthy, organic diet.
- No online affiliates are allowed to sell the product.
- The price of the internal cleanse is comparable to other products.
The Bad
- Extended use of cleansing products is not supported by many members of the medical community.
- An RMA, return merchandise authorization, number is required to return a product.
- Only certain products sold by Global Healing Center are approved for return.
Good or Bad - Final Thoughts
The Oxy-Powder product seems to be a good choice among colon cleansers. The support of extended usage is a little off when compared to the majority of other product recommendations on the market. There is also the trouble of gas and bloating which can be associated with use.
The lack of a complete ingredient list is troubling. Citric Acid has been known to cause cramping, gas, bloating and diarrhea when taken in high doses. Could this be the reason the product "appears" to cleanse? The fact that the instructions state to add lemon juice to the purified water before bed if the six capsules are not causing three to five bowel movements a day seems to support a strong dependency on Vitamin C.
