Colovox Overview
Colovox is a fairly recent addition to the colon cleanser market and has a reasonably informative official website. The site is mostly free of over-exaggeration, although it does use a few ‘scare-mongering’ phrases when describing the dangers of toxic build-up in the colon (e.g. describing them as ‘poisonous’). The Colovox website does not feature any news quotes regarding the increase of colon cancer in North America, as many other colon products do. Nor does it provide statistics or clinical studies showing proof that colon cleansers have any effect on the health of the colon or the need for ‘at home’ cleansers.
Even though the Colovox website is a basic one page of information, it does include a short FAQ section and three brief customer testimonials. According to the manufacturers, Colovox can help with a vast array of complaints including constipation, haemorrhoids, fatigue, acne, bloating and bad breath. Again though, the company provide no evidence of product testing to back up these claims.
Details Of Colovox
Colovox is a 2-step cleanser that is designed to ‘flush fecal matter’, cleansing the intestine, and in the process enable weight loss. The website does point out that Colovox is not necessarily a weight loss product, but that this is a natural result of the cleanse.
The first step of Colovox is the cleansing part, which uses gentle laxatives, herbs and plant extracts to produce 2-3 bowel movements a day. There is a full list of ingredients listed, which includes psyllium husk, flax seed, aloe vera, alfalfa, papaya, guar gum, fennel seed and peppermint. Step 2, called Purovox, is designed to benefit and purify the vital organs in the body and combines natural ingredients such as pumpkin seed, turmeric root, fenugreek and black walnut hulls. Both formulas are proprietary blends so the exact amounts of ingredients are not known.
A good explanation of all the key ingredients is provided as are the dosage instructions. The actual Colovox product is a powder that is dissolved in water while Purovox is in capsule form and taken at a dose of 4 per day, on an empty stomach.

Colovox – The Bottom Line
There is still some doubt as to whether over-the-counter colon cleansing products are really of any benefit in helping prevent colon cancer. It is true though that constipation does affect a large number of people due to the unhealthy North American lifestyle, so using a product that increases elimination would certainly help maintain good health.
Unlike some other colon cleansing brands, it is good that Colovox does not promote itself solely as a weight loss product and that the company makes a point of mentioning the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise. However, because Colovox is a fairly new product, there are no independent reviews to recommend it and consumers may be wise to wait until the brand has proved itself before spending money on it.
