Dr. Tobias Colon 14 Day Cleanse, Advanced Gut Cleanse Detox for Women & Men with Cascara Sagrada, Psyllium Husk, Senna Leaf & Probiotics, Non-GMO Colon Cleanse, 4 Bottles of 28 Capsules (1-2 Daily)

I am a full week into this cleanse and have had such an easy time of it (including losing 9 pounds -133 lbs down to 124 lbs- in 7 days), I want to share my tips now so you guys can benefit immediately instead of waiting until the second week of my cleanse is complete.I started on Day 1 taking 2 pills and never had any painful cramps or "accidents".I did my daily workouts (BodyPump) and nature walks and even had an hour-long massage on Day 4.I believe you can emulate my key takeaways for making this cleanse effective, easy, and enjoyable... even starting with 2 pills (and continuing to take 2 pills daily).Tip 1:I stayed very hydrated. In the beginning, I drank approximately 200oz water daily. I am no longer measuring/monitoring my water intake (and am probably drinking half that on a daily basis now) but I'm convinced that being well-hydrated helped moved things along with only minor cramps.If I ever needed to nudge my bowels from feeling like "I might need to go soon" to "I need to go now", I just chugged a tall glass of water and evacuated my bowels within a minute or two.Tip 2:I learned that taking the 2 pills right before bedtime is best. The first time I took them, they kicked in about 6 hours later. The second time, about 7 hours later and stabilized at kicking in 7-8 hours after taking them. So, if you take them (with a tall glass of water) right before bed, you will maximize your sleep time.Tip 3:I ate mostly healthy (whole foods) and mostly vegan... I did have the occasional eggs and cheese and even a few Doritos one day. I tend to be a healthy eater (fresh fruits and veggies) and am on the Bryan Johnson Blueprint diet for almost a month now and my foundation of healthy eating probably helped.Tip 4:I enjoy daily exercise. I tend to stay active which keeps my body happy.Tip 5:My attitude about bowel movements is that they make me happy. If they "hurt" a little bit I don't mind, I am grateful that I am going since I love feeling light and empty. I'm certain that my attitude helped this cleanse be more enjoyable since I felt zero stress, which keeps my stomach happy.---To give you an idea of my experience, I never had to "run" to the bathroom. I could walk and even finish what I was doing before heading to the bathroom.The first morning I had 2 big BMs and 2 small BMsThe second morning I had 2 big to medium BMs and 2 small BMsThe third morning I had 2 big to medium BMs and 2 small BMsAfter that, I've stabilized to 1 large to medium BM and then 1-2 small BMsI should also mention how grateful I am for this cleanse.I was very backed up prior to beginning the cleanse so I am overjoyed with all of this "movement". :)The 2 days before I started, I used 2 enemas the night before and 2 more enemas the morning of... all 4 resulting in LARGE evacuations since I hadn't gone to the bathroom 2-3 days prior.I honestly don't know why my BMs have been taking days off for the last 6 months or so (and I really dislike that feeling of being too full and bloated).What I do know is this cleanse is a godsend and I'm overjoyed that my stomach is flat again and my spirits are high once more (I like looking cute in my clothes and feeling good in my body). :)I hope these tips have been helpful for you.All the best!

I’ve only been using it for one day. And I came up here to say it definitely works. The only downside for me was that I started cramping almost 30 minutes after taking it. Although, it is definitely cleaning me out well and has me feeling alot more light weight.

If nothing else gets you moving, this definitely will! Just don't be a fool, start with 1 capsule not 2 like I did. The only reason I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is that it has a very strong stimulant laxative effect and left me with severe stomach cramps and diarrhea when I took 2 capsules. I feel like way less of a wimp after reading all the reviews saying they cannot do the full 14 days. There is no way I could handle 14 days of this! That being said, if you have trouble with getting backed up this product is worth the stomach cramping, it is highly effective!

Does exactly what it is intended to and clears everything out - have a rest room nearby and don’t use it on a travel day!! I’m currently on day four and feel lighter.I played around with the time I took it to avoid the need to have a bathroom nearby but it didn’t work:First night: I had two tablets right at bedtime and I just woke up 7 hours later and needed the bathroom asap. I did have cramps as other people mentioned and they are uncomfortable, so start with one.Night two: I had an early dinner and took two tablets after that - don’t do this because I was up from 2-6am with painful cramps! Definitely take it later or at bedtime to avoid feeling it working its magic.Night three: had two tablets at midnight and woke up at 7am and needed the bathroom asap.

This will be a daily log of this products effects (or lack of) going forward for the next week or two (14 days?). In the interest of fairness I'm starting with a 'middle-of-the-road' 3-star, which I will update as I see fit, dependent on results observed? Aware of the unavoidable "TMI" factor, I will attempt to keep this as clinical as possible.Received product yesterday afternoon; after thoroughly reading the instructions, I took one capsule (only) after dinner, before I went to bed; with a lot of water (8 oz.) as recommended.NOTE - I'm not into measuring the amount of liquid I ingest but it was much more than I would normally have, which is usually just a few gulps of water before bedtime. However it does seem that I am drinking more water and liquids in general, going into 'day one'; I wonder if this is just a psychological response to the suggestion that I need more fluids or actually a physiological need?-- In the interest of full disclosure; I have used another product in the past, called "Colon Cleanse" (the name says it all) by Nature's Blend. I found that typically, I could take one capsule, just once a week, or every other week (depending on regularity) and expect a thorough elimination that same day or the next. While not exactly what a 14 day cleanse would entail, I will however use this as a reference for future results.During the night; had a little stomach rumble and noticed some gas build-up, but nothing out of the ordinary and could have been due to something I ate for dinner?-THE NEXT DAY-Day 1: Normal morning routine, coffee w/half-and-half, healthy breakfast of whole grains w/banana and prunes. Minor 'BM' in the am, followed by another normal 'BM' later that morning. Nothing unusual to write home about; still very early in the process. Will take another capsule tonight before bed time...That same night took one capsule around 9:00 pm with water and then drank a cherry flavored Kombucha drink (carbonated/fermented); it did cause some indigestion and gas buildup which I alleviated with a ginger capsule and a small antacid.Day 2: Normal routine, same as yesterday; Normal (healthy) 'BM' in the am. Took one capsule prior to bedtime w/water.NOTE - Right after delivery I received an email from the Dr. Tobias team giving me some additional info on product use and promising a 'pdf' booklet in two days...?Update - received email for 'pdf' booklet later that same day. Note - in order to download 'pdf' (and receive 10% discount coupon) you must submit your email and name; which is strange because they have already used both to send original email with my name on it?Day 3: Same routine as usual, followed by a normal 'BM' in the early am (around 7:00 ish) after breakfast.One thing I've noticed is the regularity. As far as a thorough elimination with multiple 'BM's (which I have experienced with Nature's Blend "Colon Cleanse", I'm still waiting for results? As far as expediency is concerned, the Nature's Blend product is a 'hands-down' winner! To be fair this is a totally different experience to be sure, and there is no way I would take a Colon Cleanse capsule for 3 days in a row as that would be abusive and unhealthy. As for 'Optimum Colon', I think this is a milder product and the upside seems to be regularity, up to this point.Later that same morning;OK, well I spoke too soon because something is happening!? Had to make 3 more visits to bathroom this morning all before 10:00 am. Stool is noticeably loser now. It literally took three days and 3 capsules (one a day) to get results similar to what I've experienced w/Colon Cleanse (which I try not to take more than once a week). I'm not sure I would want to do this for 7 days in a row, much less 14? Although if this keeps up I can only imagine how 'cleaned out' I will be; we'll see how it goes, I'll know when to call it quits?Day 4: Have continued the same routine (one capsule before bedtime) for 4 days/nights now, this is more a marathon than a sprint, the day is still early, waiting to see what happens following the increase of activity yesterday; had one minor 'BM' early am.Day 5: Same routine as the last few days. This morning actually feel 'blocked-up' or a bit constipated. Did not anticipate this? Perhaps I'm not drinking enough water?Activity increased late am to 1:00 pm as I had to make several visits to the bathroom, but nothing out of the ordinary and very similar to the effects of the other product.Five days in and have had two days (day 3, 5) of elimination on a level (almost but not quite) comparable with the other product. Not sure (at this point) if this product is worth the time invested (for my personal needs)?Day 6: Same routine, early am minor 'BM' which I would consider normal.NOTE -I've seen some reviews refer to weight loss? I did not buy this product for that purpose, I bought it for healthy elimination of colon waste matter. I'm not sure how weight loss is possible if you maintain a healthy normal diet? I have experienced no difference whatsoever in my body weight (160); then again I'm not looking for any change per-se, as I've maintained the same weight for most of my adult life, give or take a few pounds here and there. However everyone is different physiologically and this product could have a very different effect on others, not to mention a "placebo effect" for those who want to lose weight and are possibly curbing caloric intake as well?Day 7: Same routine, not much to write home about; average am 'BM' which is normal and regular. If this is a cleanse, there is nothing quick about it.To date, this has been a thorough, unbiased and subjective evaluation of this product over a seven day period, and I must say I'm not sure it is worth the time or money?Day 8: Nothing has changed now going into the second week? Had 2 normal, health 'BM's in am which I would consider completely normal for me. Overall this is nothing like I anticipated and a huge waste of time IMHO.Day 9: Not sure why I am still bothering with this, except that I've stuck it it this long? Maybe 2 capsules a night would have made a difference? Frankly I'm not sure it would make that much of a difference, and it would be difficult to recommend this product based on this experience.Day 10: Sticking to the program out of pure habit and to finish the 14 day program. Otherwise I can see no difference in my particular gastro-intestinal situation that cannot be accounted for by the variety of foods that I ingest (no fast-food, mostly health conscious dietary choices).Day 11: I've had what I would call "Normal" regularity for the last 10 days - that is one or two 'BM's (besides a couple of off days as previously mentioned) which I consider healthy and normal for me. As I've said, there is absolutely nothing to convince me that this product has made any difference at the one per night dosage.Day 12: Nothing has changed; enjoying daily regularity in the morning hours, which is quite normal. As for this product, this is like the movie "Groundhog Day."Day 13: Groundhog day continues...Will continue to use the afore mentioned (other) product which is tried and true.To be continued...???
