Herbal Colon Cleanse UK – Herbal Colonix Glucomannan & Psyllium 100 Caps

A herbal colonics complex based on a formula by American master herbalist Dr John R. Christopher — ten active botanicals built around glucomannan fibre. Long popular with colonic hydrotherapists for use before, during and after treatments.

The Glucomannan Version of the Christopher Formula

BioBodyBoost carries two Christopher-based colonics formulas, and the difference is the fibre. Herbal Colonix uses glucomannan — konjac root fibre, which absorbs many times its weight in water and forms a viscous gel. Beet It Colonix uses sugar beet fibre instead, which carries EU-authorised claims for faecal bulk and normal bowel function.

Both share the same botanical backbone: rhubarb, burdock, cayenne, fennel, ginger, barberry, liquorice and dandelion. Herbal Colonix adds aloe vera leaf; Beet It Colonix adds clove bud. Many people alternate between the two.

How Other UK Colon Formulas Compare

Senokot — senna, pharmacy standard. A licensed senna-based stimulant laxative on a different regulatory route. Single herb, no fibre component, no halal certification.

Fybogel — psyllium, bulk-forming. The gentle first-line option — effective for bulk, but one fibre with no botanical complex.

Own-brand colon blends — varied, rarely published quantities. Most rely on herbs alone and few carry halal or kosher certification.

How to Take It

Take 1 or 2 capsules, one to three times per day, or as advised. Start with the lowest dose and increase only if needed. Take with plenty of water — the glucomannan needs adequate fluid to work as intended.

Our guidance: this formula contains rhubarb root, aloe vera leaf and barberry bark, traditional stimulant botanicals. We recommend occasional rather than continuous long-term use, and that you avoid it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if under 18, or if you have a bowel obstruction, undiagnosed abdominal pain or inflammatory bowel disease. See your GP if constipation persists.

For daily bulk-forming fibre instead, BioSlim combines psyllium, glucomannan and sugar beet fibre with live cultures. Replenish gut flora afterwards with BioTic 4 Billion.

Is This You?

• You want the glucomannan version of the Christopher colonics formula rather than the sugar beet one
• You'd rather have ten botanicals with carminatives than a single stimulant herb that causes cramping
• You alternate between colon formulas and want a second option in the rotation
• You need halal and kosher approved bowel support — Senokot and Fybogel carry neither
• You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or managing a bowel condition
