Is Your Natural Colon Cleanser Made In China?

China is currently under fire for being an integral reason for the many recalls that are plaguing the toy industry. Lead paint is the culprit and even though it has been reported that proper paints have been provided to the manufacturing plants in that part of the world, for reasons unknown the paint was not used and instead substituted with the dangerous lead-containing pigment instead. While this in no way implies that all goods manufactured in China – or any of the other foreign countries to which the production of goods has been farmed out – are substandard, it does cause pause to those who purchase ingestible supplements, such as colon cleansers, that are either made in China or other countries, or in the alternative contain plant materials grown there.

For example, many a bottle containing a natural colon cleanser contains herbs that were grown in China or India. While the bottle speaks of the advantages the natural cleanser will offer to your body in general and your colon in particular, there is little space given to assurances that the herbaceous ingredients from those regions were actually grown under conditions most commonly associated in the United States with the term “natural.” Remember, the label most likely will not speak of organic ingredients, instead glossing over this lack of verbiage with the many advantages that natural ingredients are said to offer.

Sadly, quite often the only natural portion of the plant matter refers to the fact that the plant was natural living matter prior to harvest, yet in no way should convey the impression that natural growing methodology was involved in raising it. Thus, the colon cleanser you may be ingesting in an effort to rid your body of toxins may actually be shock full of pesticides, herbicides, heavy metal containing fertilizers, and pollutants from nearby highways or factories.

In addition to the foregoing, the process of extracting beneficial oils and other plant matter that is indicated for the use in a colon cleanser is also questionable. While organic methods do exist, to save money it is becoming common practice to use harsh chemicals which will strip the plant materials of the oils and essentials thus introducing toxins into the otherwise beneficial herbs. Another danger not often considered is the possibility that instead of only including the fruit of one plant, the root of a second, or the stalk and leaves of the third, the entire plant is ground up and included. This provides a large amount of filler that is medicinally useless but for which consumers nonetheless pay top dollar.

To protect yourself, you will be wise to purchase natural colon cleansers only if they contain certified organic ingredients and are manufactured under organic conditions. Similarly, you will want to have a guaranteed analysis of the ingredients contained in the supplement; in other words, the makers of the colon cleanse need to be able to inform you about the minimum and maximum of any substance included. Thus, let the buyer beware before investing hard earned money into questionable colon cleansers.
