 This Stuff Rocks!!! |
| Review Date: November 9, 2007 |
| Reviewer: A. Simms, Pittsburgh, PA United States |
It's easy to use, and once you've determined your correct dosage for the 7-day cleanse portion of it, you'll be amazed and how much "stuff" falls out of you. Admittedly, it's not the greatest conversation topic, so I had to stop myself from talking about it to my family, but it was truly astounding to me and I wanted to share that with them.
I took it upon myself to extend the initial 7 days to about 9 days because I had never done a colon cleanse before. I've just finished up yesterday, and although I'd run out of capsules and had none to take last night, I STILL had 5 BMs today even though I only ate once yesterday. So, it's definitely gotten things moving in the right direction. Side note: you definitely have to drink a lot of water, otherwise it doesn't work as well.
If there was any drawback to it, it's that after 7 days, I began to have a little pain in the affected areas because I don't think the elimination system is designed to get rid of so much waste so often. It was kind of like workout pain after not working out for an extended period, but it only happened the day before I took my last capsules, and it only lasted one day. I've had no pain since, and in a way it's a good thing that I had the pain because it really let me know that this stuff does what it says it will do.
My overall after-effects are, a much smaller waistline, a clearer head, more energy, a higher sex drive, I feel great, I don't need to eat as much, and best of all, I've lost approximately 6 pounds or more of the worst kind of weight. I'm sure I've added to my lifespan, and I'll order this again as soon as I can. I read somewhere that you should do at least a 30 day cleanse your first time out, but frankly, I'm tired of sitting on the toilet and I could use a week-long breather. Regardless of that, when I get my new supply, I'll do another 9-10 day cleanse to get at the remaining impaction and be done with it until next year sometime.

Relief at last from years of intestinal buildup of junk

| Review Date: September 3, 2007 |
| Reviewer: John M. Laird, Minneapolis, MN USA |
Ahh-h-h, this is not the subject of dinnertime conversation or lunchtime conversation with friends. But this is important stuff because if the intestines are in bad shape, you are also going to be in bad shape!!!
Well, here is my story:
I am 52 years old and eat very sensibly, organically grown fruits, vegetables, whole grains, little meat, etc and weigh only 150 lbs.
Also, I try to practice good food combining and have done a lot of reading of literature on health.
Unfortunately as we age, enzymes are not as prevalent and so food does not digest like it should. Guess where a lot of it ends up? It gets stuck to the lining of the intestines?
How do I know? I have had sharp pains in my abdomen and went in to the doctor. They took an x-ray and saw all sorts of dark patches in the intestines and then prescribes "Miralax" an over the counter laxative. After reading what was in it, I decided not to take it but instead to try Flax seed and Psyllium dissolved in water. This scraping action provided some relief but did not really work.
Next I tried colonics, this is flushing the intestines with water. Again, some relief but did not quite do it.
Have also tried extended, multi-day fasting and yoga with some benefits but no long-term change. Also, exercise on a regular basis.
Before I started taking Oxypowder, my feces were separated and loose. Also, I went once every 3-4 days.
After taking this stuff for a week, for the next 2 weeks have so far noticed that my stools are solid and long and I go about once per day. This is great news as this is what it is supposed to be like. Also, I feel much more alert and less irritable. Have much more energy as well.
I give this product the highest rating!!!!! This is the product that I have been looking for!! Also, I have no financial interest in the product, this is purely a scientific, unbiased report from a "seeker of good health". A little uncomfortable because of gas while taking but no sharp pains or compaction as has occurred when taking ground up flax or psyllium in the past. Overall, the only thing that really bothered me was kind of a queasy feeling due to all the gas and water, but this is how the product works and you have to respect the process.
One thing I disagree with regarding the instructions are
a. Ideally, you would want to take this while fasting so that it does not act on the food in your intestines
----OR----
b. Take enzymes with your dinner so that your food is fully digested when you take the pills in the evening
---AND---
c. Maintenance does of X number of pills every other day in my opinion is not really needed if you are light like me. I think maintenance is needed when your feces shown up as broken into pieces instead of a long continuous piece.
----OTHER INFO----
d. Take enzymes with your meals if you think your food is not digesting well. This will help to avoid buildup in your intestines.
e. Practice proper "Food Combining" principles. There are lots of books out there on this process. Your food won't digest properly if you have dessert with a meal for example. Why?? Sweets are digested in the small intestine, carbohydrates are digested initially in the stomach. Mix the 2 together and you have created a fermentation process that results in acid production, gas and food that is not digested. You end up with heartburn and the food builds up in your intestines.
So if an underweight guy like me who is health conscious, gets a lot of exercise, has good dietary practices, etc. was having problems, I just wonder how many others out there who are heavier than me, have had poor dietary practices, etc are out there who need this stuff to cleanse themselves. If you are one of these people, give this product a try!! |
Very Satisfied

| I had toxicity issues, chronic inflammation, hyperactive immune system and tried this product after lots of other medical approaches. I did only two days. Made a huge difference immediately. You must produce enough stomach acid to make it work; I have to drink water with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to get the effects. Caused me to get off the acid reduction pills my doctor had prescribed for stomach pain. I realized that producing too little acid and not too much was part of my problem. I also had to change my toxic environment. I highly recommend. I haven't done the 7 day but I do a one day cleanse about once every two weeks for maintenance. All vegetarian. Good buy for the money. |

| I was skeptical when I first purchased it because of the reviews from the products website. It seemed to good to be true. Well it was as good as everyone said. It is on the expensive side but well worth it. It softens the stool and the relief is amazing. No cramping or diahrea. No running to the bathroom all day. This stuff is amazing. I am going to buy more. I try to stretch it out as much as I can while still getting relief. You would not believe how much stuff is inside of you. Pay the extra and get this stuff. |

If it doesnt work right away for you, take it with a glass of lemon juice before upping the dosage. That usually works to kick-start it! |

I've been using Oxy-Powder for almost 6 months now and let me just say that this stuff really works! I've tried other name brand laxatives before but none of them can ever compare to Oxy-Powder, I highly recommend this great product to friends and families. |

| Review Date: August 22, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Rob Tucker, Boston |
I was very skeptical of colon cleansing products. I always heard that it was a waste of time & money, but I also heard about the benefits of cleansing the colon. So after reading a bunch of colon cleansing reviews, I decided to go with OxyPowder.
The cleanse was really simple. I have a family and a busy career, so time is not my friend sometimes. I don't have the time to mix fiber shakes or laxative teas. But Oxypowder wasn't like that. That was one of the main reasons I bought this product.
I could tell that the cleanse worked because I was very surprised by how I felt after I finished. I was more regular and I had more energy. I felt good. I would recommend this colon cleanser to anyone who is looking to cleanse their colon. Thats what I bought it for, and I am glad that I did. |
Very happy with results

| As many of you, I have been constipated all my life. I've changed my eating habits, drank lots of water, took laxatives, stool softeners and enemas, getting only a quick fix. This product is different. I am on my 2nd bottle and take 4 pills once per week. All week long I actually have regular BMs. I just hope that it is never pulled from the market or is found to be unsafe because its the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. |

| This stuff is the best. I have chronic intestinal issues and regular laxatives cause me too much pain. I have used Oxypowder for really great colon cleanses and also daily management. I definitely recommend playing with the dosages and finding out what is right for you. Also, I wouldn't use it for weight loss, though I usually lose a couple of pounds when doing a cleanse. Drink lots of water and eat things that are easy to digest when using it for a cleanse. Otherwise, it has actually improved my life in that I have more energy since I can get things to move though my system better when needed. Don't know what I would do without it! |

Oxy Powder is Effective and Gentle!!!
|
| Review Date: January 18, 2010 |
| Reviewer: T Lion, |
I bought this prouct last week and I have to say it is so gentle!! I have used a variety of things do keep my system clean from Smooth Move (Senna Teas) to Enemas, Ducalux, Correctol, a little bit of everything in my whole life. I have to say I find that this product is a gentle combination of all of the high points I got from each. I am so glad I didnt let the negative reviews scare me away.
Now that I have addressed it's strong points, it behoves me to point out some possible error that can be made. Firstly, any colon cleanser is basically a laxative however there are several forms of laxatives because everyone had different needs. You have stool softeners, hyperosmotic, lubricants, stimulants (the worst!), and bulk (metamucil). I find that this laxative is more like a hyperosmotic because it pulls water into the colon so that it will emulsify with ...you know and then flush it out. Very similar to what enemas and hi colonics will do. The best part is when you take it right there shouldnt be many elements of discomfort.
What worked for me with this product was first carefully reading the instructions and associating them with my own tolerances. In the end I did the following and it has worked great:
1. I stop eating at least three hours before I take this product. First you wont fill hungry because as soon as you take it feels as if it is filling your stomach. If you are already full of food this will make you miserable.
2. Make sure you drink 16 oz of water with it at least what an hour or 30 minutes and drink another. Seeing that this product is hyperosmotic-like your key tool in making it work is water. If you dont you will be dehydrated.
3. Do the first two days on a weekend when you dont mind being at home so you can see how strong the effect will be. If your going to be out all day it's not a good idea to take ANY laxative.
4. Adjust dosage accordingling. Seeing as I go back to work tomorrow and I dont want to be running for the toilet more than 3 or 4 times a day I am going to reduce to 2 until the clean is over.
If you didnt do any of the above it might be where you went wrong.
I also find that if you are particularly uhm...tight back there, drink a strong cup of coffee that morning. The caffeine in coffee is a vasoconstricter and it will for lack of better words give you a little more room to move.
All the same great product!

I'm in my younger twenty's and didn't have a clue about what colon cleansing was. Frankly, I didn't care. However, my grandma insisted that I try this intestinal colon cleanser called OxyPowder. I didn't want to. It sounded dirty and taboo.... I didn't want anything to do with it.
But, like all grandma's, she insisted. She told me about all of the health benefits I would get out of it. I told her I would look into it, just to shut her up. So, I did a little research online and I couldn't find a valid excuse to not try it. All I found was facts about how important it was. She was right. I called her up and told her that I would try it.
WOW! Am I glad that she pushed me to try this. I've never felt so great in my life!!! You wouldn't beleive the "things" that came out of me. and the amount of stuff that came out of me. I have a better understanding of how to take care of my body. Also, how important it is to take care of your colon. Oxy-Powder literally changed my life. Thank you OxyPowder! |
Oxy-Powder Worked For Me!

| Reviewer: J. Flowers, |
Oxy-Powder is a great product.
I've suffered from chronic constipation for years. This is the only product I've found that provides me continual relief. After doing the "cleanse" I felt so much better. I didn't have any cramping. I finished the cleanse about a month ago and I am STILL regular. I recommended it to my friends and family. Most of them have tried it and they all had great success. None of them had anything negative to say about it.
At first I was turned off by the price, but decided to order it and give it a try anyways. Two days later, I was glad that I did. It was worth the extra money to get the relief I needed. |

| Reviewer: Jeniya 592, S.S, MD USA |
| This product, if used as instructed, works well. It worked for me, just as the manufacturer stated it would. I took it more for removing the toxins that I believe may have accumulated in my colon over the years and for occasional irregularities. I normally do not have a constipation problem since I have followed a mostly vegetarian diet for the past seven years. I am pleased to say that I did a lot of research on other colon cleansers before I selected this one, and I have no regrets. Most of the others contained Psyllium, an ingredient that gave me bloating and constipation in the past, so I stayed clear of those. Two weeks earlier, I had tried another colon cleanser that has a three step program, I had to return it to the store three days after using it because step one made my head feel as heavy as a bowling ball and made me drowsy. Oxy-powder did not give me bloating or headaches or any more gas than I would usually pass during a day, and yes, I did have loose stool, but it was not the type(like diarrahea from botulism) that caused me any concern. Anyway, I would prefer loose stool over the other kind. I do feel as if my body is cleaner and I have a little more energy in the mornings. I also did not have the need to be near a restroom at all times, and I did have as many as five bowel movements per day. I started out by taking 2 capsules the first night just to see how it works for me, then I increased it to 4 capsules each night. I also drank a lot of water(about 100 ounces per day) which I think is very important for the best results. I have a lot more of the product and I will do a cleansing every two or three months until all of it is used up. That's where value comes in, it costs a lot less than the Psyllium ones, and you can stretch the usage based on your needs. I am so pleased with this product, I have recommended it to my sister. |
Best one yet

| Reviewer: Sassy Spender, |
Like others who've reviewed this I've tried other colon cleanses with varying effects. One in particular worked pretty well but my BMs weren't consistent. Sometimes I'd take a couple of pills and I wouldn't have a BM all day, then the next day I'd have a couple. So with Oxycleanse I found that I'd definitely go every day, even if I forgot to take the pills, which was nice. I've also lost a few pounds, although that wasn't the reason I was taking it (just a nice surprise!).
The only side effect is my bladder feels weird after I take it, kind of like the pills have a numbing effect on my bladder. I know my bladder is full of water and I should go to the bathroom, but I don't ever have that urgent feeling anymore. Not a big deal, but hopefully it's not doing any permanent damage there!
I did some research on Germanium 132 and there's lots of information on it and how great it is, I suggest reading up on it just to be informed about how it works and what else it's good for! |

| Reviewer: A. bolton, michigan |
I have tried it all! Zelnorm, magnesium, exlax, ducolax, enemas, Castor Oil, senna, vegetable pills, I even tried colonix ouch (would not recommend). I have had constipation issues for about 2 years now so I was searching and searching for new ways to help with my constipation. I didn't really expect these pills to work since I have tried so many things. Well I'm proud to say they do work. You do have to continuously take them since they are in no way a Cure, BUT they will make you run to the bathroom. When you suffer from constipation like me you can't wait to run to the bathroom. I got Zero cramps from these pills like I do laxatives. I took the pills before bed like it said and about 20 minutes after I had gotten up the next morning I felt the urge to go. It might be runny right after you wake up so just make sure you stay around the house about 20 minutes after waking up.
I saw where other people wrote they made them have diarrhea??? When you suffer from constipation like I do you can't wait to release even if it's a tad runny at first. Only people who truly want to go #2 should take these pills because they work exactly the way they say they do. Also if you drink enough water like maybe 2 water bottles with the pills you will get no cramps. I learned that the hard way when I used to take laxatives. Dehydration from laxatives and any other pill that makes you go #2 is what causes the horrible cramps so as long as you drink water you will be fine. Also if you are like me you will read to take four pills the first night and get scared to death. Well no worries you will not go #2 as much as you think. It might look like a lot but it's just enough to help you go about 2 -3 times the next day.

| I've taken different types of laxatives in the past until I recently found out that they can actually damage your digestive system. So I decided to give Oxy-Powder a try and it's been a very rewarding experience for me. This product has gone beyond my expectations and I've never felt so young and full of energy! I highly recommend this to anybody suffering from IBS, constipation, diarrhea, etc. If you're a long time sufferer like myself, you might want to give Oxy-Powder a try...I'm glad I did. |

I've suffered from constipation my entire life, that's over 60 years!!! My doctors and gastroentrologist always recommended laxatives and stool softeners, and I took them for a very long time. But I was always frustrated that when I stopped taking the laxatives, I would be constipated within a day or two.
Even with a good diet full of fruits & veggies, I would still get constipated. I tried two other colon cleansers and neither one of them even came close to the effectiveness of oxypowder. I was very impresed with the oxypowder cleanse.
I haven't taken any oxypowder or laxatives in over a week, and I am still regular. I haven't gone this long without taking something in my entire life.
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I am so glad that I found oxypowder. I recommend this product to everyone! |

| Reviewer: 2isjustright, Temecula, cA |
I can only speak for myself, and I must say that this is the best colon cleanser that I've ever used. It truly might be an overglorified laxative, but its the best one I've used.
A history about me. I've always been constipated. Having two babies made it worse. It seemed I would go two or three times a week. And they weren't satisfying, lots of pebbly things. I even have that invisible fiber powder that I take massive doses of and it does not help. Granted, I'm not very consistent with the invisible powder, but I do take it for like 2-3 days and nothing!
I've read about Oxypowder for a couple years and finally decided to try it. I wanted to lose some of my belly fat, feel energetic and just clean myself out.
I thought the most amazing part about Oxy Powder was that I felt no cramps whatsoever. Let me tell you, everything I've tried even milk of magnesia gives me some sort of cramping sensation. Okay Colace doesn't affect me, however, I'm constipated for a week taking colace so I don't count colace. I did feel dizzy the first couple of days of taking it, but after that I felt normal. I don't know about a burst of energy, but I noticed that I don't hit snooze as often. And I don't go back to bed after waking up (which is what I usually do and then I'm late for work). So during the time I took OxyPowder I was always early for work. That to me counts as having more energy.
I did not lose 5-20 lbs in poo, and I did feel really gassy towards the end of my day. Its funny, but you can hear the oxygen in your colon, and towards the end of the day it just builds up too much. It can be embarrassing to use the bathroom when someone is in there. But I really don't care at this point because this has worked the best for me. Oh and you'll be cleaning your toilet a lot more often. But as I look back, I did feel pretty good when I was on it. So I just ordered some more yesterday. I've been so constipated because I'm trying a low carb diet that I feel like I need it again.
Its not perfect, but for me it was the best pain free option that I can take. |

I've always been skeptical of colon cleansing products. I have always heard that it was unneccesary. I also heard there were "benefits" of cleansing the colon. So after reading a bunch of colon cleansing reviews sites, I decided to go with OxyPowder. Mainly because most colon cleansing reviews sites ranked Oxypowder #1 or #2.
The cleanse was really simple. I have a family and a busy career, and very little time. I don't have the time to mix a bunch fiber shakes or laxative teas. But Oxypowder was different. That was a big plus for me.
I could tell that the cleanse worked by how I felt after I finished it. I had regular bm's and I had more energy. I felt great. I have recommended this colon cleanser to my friends and family, and they have all had great results. |

AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Totally Awesome product. I am a believer in alternative medicine being a huge resource for all people. This product made me want to eat better and start my exercise routine. I can't believe that there are people who feel this clear headed, energetic, light, and bouncy, happy every day. Now I am one of those people.
On the second day of this cleanse I felt such an intense relief in my head. I say it's as if someone attached a faucet to my hip and let all the crap drain out from the top down. My energy is way better than if I go and get a double shot expresso Mocha with whip and caramel from Starbucks. Don't stop at reading these testimonials, get it for yourself. This is going to be my present to others from now on until all my loved ones have tried it. X-mas won't be the same this year.
On day three I felt like having a salad really really badly and haven't lost that feeling yet even though I am only maintaining now. I plan to go back on this 7 day colon cleanse next week and look forward to it. I have tried Colonix but the fiber drink got to me and so did the laxative tea. I couldn't be bothered and it was only working sometimes. I felt discouraged until I found this. Now I use it with Toxinout and feel like I am seeing major progress. I am small boned and almost 160lbs but I feel like I my weight is 20lbs less. It's as if I didn't gain any weight at all. And I am not dieting, just having more veggies sometimes. |

ok, so I've suffered from Chronic Constipation for years. I've tried many products that claim they can help me, including stool softeners, laxatives and colon cleansers. None of them ever worked for me. They would help, but never solve my problem.
Finally, I found one that does work - Oxy-Powder. I am now a huge fan of Oxy-Powder. It gave me a new lease on life. I have more energy. I feel better about myself. I've already recommended it to my friends and family, and they have ALL had success with it. Not a single one of them said anything negative about it.

I only took this for four days, three weeks ago, and I have felt great since! As a nutritionist and professional in the natural foods field, when I initially had an "issue", I turned to massive quantities of fiber in the form of natural fruits and vegetables. UGH! That really made things worse! I was so bloated and miserable! I have tried other cleansers that utilized the fiber method and also did not have much luck with those. Out of desperation, I tried this, and it really works!
Granted, while you are taking it it is rather unpleasant. Maybe you can do your spouse or significant other a favor, and sleep on the couch until you are through with it. Going to work is a challenge too. |

I bought Oxy Powder a couple of years ago as a colon cleanse, but really ended up using it as a stool softener when irregularity crept in. I used to have major issues with constipation and never found anything that brought relief without pain and diarrhea. However, Oxy Powder does just that. I rarely get constipated anymore since changing my diet and adding probiotics, but when I feel it creeping in, usually just one Oxy Powder will do the trick, with no side effects. I LOVE it.
On a side note, my husband, who seems to be especially sensitive to any kind of product made for the intestines, goes running to the bathroom after taking just one pill. So, while it works VERY well for me, not so much for him. |

| I had tried a couple of products and normally do not bother to write reviews. After taking this product as described, I had to come and write a review for this one. I works wonders. Let me put it this way: It works the way it says it will. I did feel the difference and would higly recommend this to anyone who wants to reclaim their health and vitality. I followed this with the Cayce apple diet a couple of weeks later(http://www.areclinic.org/articles.asp?articleid=62) and the results were amazing in my case. I am (was) healthy and do exercise atleast 3to4 days a week, 5' 10" and 165lb before doing this. After this and the apple diet, my weight dropped to 153lb. For a person who was not even thinking/planning on losing weight, that is awesome results and a super bonus :-). As I said I was healthy before I undertook this and after this, I feel a lot lighter and cleaner and even more healthier..... |

| I did Dr. Groups initial 5-day cleanse with this product. I now (maintenance) just use the oxy-powder every other day (2-3 pills). If I eat a really horrible meal then I'll take 4 pills before bed. This stuff will keep you regular. I experienced cramps the first two BM of the the cleanse and none since then. I'm ordering my fourth bottle today. I took a chance and liked the out come (no pun intended) maybe you will too. |

| Reviewer: Janet L. Goldman Merrill, San Pedro, CA USA |
| I have Fibromyalgia which has weakened my colon dramatically. I was at my wit's end, searching for some non-harmful way to eliminate waste. I had lost the ability to have bowel movements! Very distressing and unhealthy. Even coffee enemas were no longer working. Oxy-Powder has solved the problem. I no longer need to use enemas. I no longer use any kind of laxative. I never need high colonics. And remarkably, I've even regained some bowel function. Every body is different, but for me this product has been a blessing. |

I've been a consumer of Oxy-Powder for approximately 1 1/2 years. This product does everything it claims; it's an amazing intestinal cleanser!
Until recently, I had always purchased Oxy-Powder directly from the manufacturer. I'm happy to report that not only did I pay much less ordering from Amazon, I also received my delivery much sooner then I had expected!
I'm extremely satisfied and plan to order again!

Miraculous Intestinal Cleanser

| Review Date: April 22, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Shopping on Amazon is My Hobby, USA |
I have tried many of the colon cleanses out there, including the 250 dollar BePure Cleanse, the 10.85 dollar Super Colon Cleanse, the 10.78 dollar Nature's Secret Super Cleanse, the 24.60 dollar Renew Life Fiber Smart, the 17.99 dollar Renew Life Organic Triple Fiber, and the 7.55 dollar Smooth Move Tea. Out of all the colon cleanses that I have tried, I can say that Oxy-Powder is by far the best and most thorough.
Some of the benefits of using Oxy-Powder that I have noticed include increased energy, a lighter feeling about life, a look of health, an acne-free face, and a flatter tummy.
Oxy-Powder even cleanses your blood and body unlike many of the other colon cleanses out there. Also, Oxy-Powder is not JUST a colon cleanse; it also cleanses the small intestine as it is a whole intestine cleaner.
If you want a highly effective intestinal cleaner, I highly recommend this product. |
This stuff really works.......

| Oxy-powder is different from all other cleanse products out there. This does not have bulky fiber or herbs. It's just a few simple ingredients, and it works sometimes in a hour, and without a mess. Very smooth. If you take too much then your bowels will liquefy, so take a capsule or two to test for your needs. And also Amazon has the best price if you comparison shop. |
It really works!

| Reviewer: Amethyst, LEE'S SUMMIT, MO United States |
| I work in a health food store and have tried numerous herbal cleanses as well as all the fiber cleanses and many combinations of both. None of those every worked very well for me. The Oxy-Powder worked great! The key is to find the right dose that works for you. The directions say to take 4 pills the first night and if you don't have 3 to 5 movements the next day to increase the dosage by 2 pills each night until you achieve the desired results. It works by liquifying the built up gunk in the colon so you will have liquid stools, but there was no cramping or gas like you would have with diarrhea. Obviously you want to make sure that you are close to home or at least close to a bathroom the week of the cleanse. Oh and be sure to drink LOTS of water when you take the pills! I drink a lot of water but not usually at bedtime, the first night I woke up feeling so dry I felt like I had turned to dust. After that I drank a whole large glass of water with the pills and felt fine. Also be careful not to eat anything withing 2 hours of taking the pills or you will just be cleaning out the food you ate and not what is backed up in your colon. If you use common sense and follow the directions you will end up with a clean colon. |

| Oxy-Powder is one of the very best colon cleansers on the market! I researched a number of products before I decided to buy Oxy-Powder and I do not regret purchasing it. I've tried lots of products (herbal or non) to cleanse my colon and even going as far as getting had a colonic. All of the products I've tried were EXTREMELY harsh, which means that I could not leave my house let alone the bathroom. Those products really dehydrated my body and Oxy-Powder was the only cleansing product that was not a hellish experience. I've recommended it to all my friends. |

This product is the only thing that has worked for me after years of both over the counter and prescription medicines.
I have hard stools and this works just fine I can control how soft I want my stools to be. I took a bottle to my Doctor and she thanked me for telling her about the product. She wrote down the amazon.com address as health stores I had contacted did not carry Oxy-Powder.
I digest my food better and feel better. I even experimented with yellow cheese and the Oxy-Powder worked. I did have to take more of the Oxy-Powder. |

| Review Date: May 1, 2010 |
| Reviewer: R. Hanks, |
To put it simply, this product really works! I am 37 and in great health. I try to take care of my body as much as possible. With that said, over the last couple of years I had begun to get bloated after eating my evening meal. It got to the point of being ridiculous. I have a thin and athletic build except in the evenings when I would become very bloated. After months of intensive research into various colon cleansing products on the market and various causes of bloating I determined that parasites were probably my problem, especially since constipation is very rare for me. Colon cleansing was a big part of the process of a parasite cleanse.
After another month or two of studying Oxy-Powder and reading all of the reviews on Amazon I finally bought the product and was absolutely amazed. I haven't felt this good ever! I did follow up my colon cleanse with Paratrex but keep in mind that I felt much better after using just the Oxy-Powder. Be forewarned, this product will create liquid stools as the product label says but it is very effective and as near as I can tell very safe. I am very picky about what I put into my body. I won't even take an aspirin. After taking Oxy-Powder for over four months I have found it to be most effective for me to take five capsules daily right before bed with lots of water on an empty stomach. Dr. Group's website says it is safe to take every day but only recommends twice weekly after the initial cleanse. I can't recommend this product enough! I will take it for life.

| Reviewer: Ava M., Palm Beach, FL |
| I had horrible stomach pains constantly, i was far from regular, almost going 4 days without any bowel movement and i'm a healthy young active woman, but i could not get over my stomach discomforts. Doctors wanted to put me on all these pills for IBS, but i wanted a solution, not to be on medication forever. If anything, i wanted it to be natural. This is the BEST thing on the market. It's a total flush, you'll go about 3 times a day, you'll never have to sprint to the bathroom, you wont have any stomach pains b/c it really truly aids in digestion like nothing else. For about 5 months i've been using this and I cant live without it. It relieves so much bloat and discomfort and it's not a Laxative, which i love, cause that's really bad for you. I take my dosage about 3 times a week. The only thing i HATE are the pills. IMO, they're HUGE. I wish this would come in powder form, that would be great. |

Oxy powder does what it promises

| Review Date: May 28, 2008 |
| Reviewer: jbeemer, |
I was afraid to start the oxy powder because I had never done a cleanse before, but it was just as the product stated. Take 4 capsules and 8 oz of water before bed. The next day it worked just as stated - (liquified stools). After a few days I had to increase the dosage to get the same amount of "movements" a day. After I finished my cleanse, I continued to be regular.
Make sure you get up early so you have enough time to take care of business- you get warning but not too much.
I will use to keep regular- I would recommend to people with regularity issues. |

| My girlfriend and I after much research decided to use Oxy Powder. The first morning after we took the first dose it was already working. We didnt find it to be too much of an intrusion as some of the reviews said. I was even more impressed when I called customer service with a question and the assistant was very through and helpful. We will continue to use Oxy Powder for maintenance as it suggests. I think after the first time we will be more prepared for our diet change being more strict to reap even more benefits. |

| I've suffered from constipation for several years, even gone 3 weeks before with no bowel movement at all! and after trying pretty much everything ( Colonix, Natures Secret Super Cleanse, Fiber formulas, colon hydrotherapy, cascara, senna, aloe lax, Natural Calm etc. etc.) this is the product that is helping me the most. I don't get any more cramping or other discomfort than I did with senna or cascara, and every day I get rid of a little more than the previous b.m. My situation was caused by cassein and gluten intolerance, which I just recently discovered. Also tension is a culprit, massage can help. And my toxicity headaches went away after replacing my old silver fillings in my teeth. There is a significant amount of mercury in those. There's my experiences with this abdominal curse, hope it helps someone! |
Great Product! But not a permanent cure.

| Review Date: February 9, 2010 |
| Reviewer: David Siegfried, Chicago, IL United States |
I have done several intestinal cleansing routines including the psyllium/clay/herbal types, most of them work to some degree but I have never found one that is the final "cure" for a sluggish system. I was anxious to try this one because of all the great reviews. It works as promised, is very gentle and is by far the easiest cleanse I have ever taken. If you get the dosage right it does not have to disrupt your day. And that is the key, getting the dosage right. You should be going between 3 - 5 times per day and the reaction should be gentle, not harsh. What the label doesn't say is that for some people the optimum dose is less than 4 capsules. For most of the people who have trouble and give this product a bad review, it's because they are more sensitive to it and they need to take the dose down to 2 - 3 capsules at first. For some people it's just one capsule that does it! So if your system overreacts, don't give up on the product, just try taking less and be patient.
The fact that it oxygenates your system means that there are many other benefits at work and this product can potentially alleviate many chronic health problems besides digestive ones. Do your research on oxygen-based therapy; our environment is oxygen deprived due to deforestation, pollution, etc.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that after taking the seven day cleanse, I had hoped I would be "cured" like some people have reported. But alas, I still have my chronic problem unless I take a maintenance dose every few days. It's not serious, and I always prefer to achieve health by eating the proper foods rather than taking supplements. But you can't always eat exactly right so I plan to keep Oxy-Powder around and use it when I need it. |

It doesn't taste great, but we mix it with lemonade to make it go down easier.

| Reviewer: Ross A. Metcalfe, East Helena, Montana United States |
| I've used several bottles of this and I think it works just fine. Usually, I go through a bottle between Thanksgiving and New Year's to keep all that holiday goodness moving on down the line, so to speak. I've only gone through the recommended "cleanse" once or twice but and it seems to work pretty good there as well. My only complaint would be the large number of pills you have to take for an effective dose (I'm up to 6-8!) and it never has worked on deflating the pooch around my gut. I can feel clean inside, but there still is a sensation of bloatedness at the same time. Weird. In any event, I will definitely use it again and would recommend it to others. As far as the comments on it just giving you the runs...READ THE LABEL! It says right on there that your stool will be loose and explains why. |

| Review Date: June 5, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Avid reader, rare reviewer, Chicago, IL |
| I was really excited about getting this product based on other people's reviews. It doesn't seem quite as effective for me. If I take two pills I don't end up going at all (without them I usually move at least once). If I take 3, things are too loose and I get bloated. I made sure to dring a lot of water as other reviewers suggested. I also supplemented with hcl pills thinking that maybe was an issue. Neither seemed to make a difference. However, I did notice my body liked these better than herbal pills. I was hoping this would make me more consistently regular but I think I'll have to reserve it only for times when I'm constipated. You may be one of the people it works really well for though. |

| Reviewer: Pamela S. Moore, Maui,HI USA |
| Well first time doing this kind of things, but I tried the Oxypowder after many reviews, and I can tell you it worked for me. I am 130 lbs, healthy but with constipation always. I have to take 6 pills because 4 did not work for me. At the beginning it was okay only make me go to the bathroom like 3 to 5 times. then with the days go I was only going to the bathroom in the morning for 3 times and give me the afternoon free. I take it for around 10 days together with acidophilus pearls from enzymatic (after many reviews too, it say is the only with good cover, so it get to your stomach)good bateria because the cleaning take out everything, well after getting almost close to the end of the 10 days I was really tired, really tired, with a little temperatura and feeling a little bad like a flu, reading it says that is a normal reaction because your body is taking out all your trash from your body, well it was working. I did not pupu to much for be exacty, not like the people says that they see huge and stranges things, not in my case for that reason I was a little concern that maybe is not working. But let me tell you, at the end, fixed my constipation, now I go to bathroom everyday! sometimes twice, glad for that, and I think it did something good with my digestion, because now is working great, I am still taking the acidophilus (good bateria) and drinking my water with apple juice and honey like oxypowder recommended. Ah I forgot, you have to drink water like they say in the instructions, important, because I was feeling so thirsty after some days, I was getting dehydrated, so be careful with the water, drink a lot. I am still doing the same quantity of water with the apple vinegar and my acidophilus pills and my digestion now is great! |

I use this product all the time. I only gave 4 stars because a few years ago I noticed a change in the way it reacted with my body. Loud gurgles started happening that could be heard from across the room. Never did this before, so I looked at the bottle and noticed the lable was different. So I compared the ingredients with an older one I had and noticed they were not exactly the same. When I called Oxy-Powder they said nothing had changed. So now I try to live with the LOUD Gurgles from within me, and sometimes giggles of small children.....
So, it works- Just liked it better without the noises. |

| Reviewer: JerseyGirlDV, |
I take 5 pills at 11pm on an empty stomach with a full bottle of water. The next day, usually between 10am and 12noon I will go to the bathroom (very liquidy, not to be too graphic)about 3 times during work and then an additional 2 more times in the evening. The trick is to drink a LOT of water. This insures movement. Otherwise it just gets stuck in there.
I always lose 3-5 pounds of sheer waste every time. I also decreases my waist line and eliminates my "kangaroo pouch".
I've been taking these pills "as needed" for over a year now and they work every time... I do notice, however, that If I take them for a few days in a row they lose their effect. My suggestion is take them one night out of every month as a maintenance routine.
Other than liquidy stool for a few days i do not notice any other side effects.
I feel better all around after each cleanse.
Remember... If you're going to give it a shot... DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!!!!!!!! |

| Reviewer: GinSing, USA |
First, let me say that I wasn't too keen on doing a review on this product. I mean, how much more personal can you get right here in front of millions of people? Geesh!
But, I have to say, that if it helps someone make a decision, or helps someone get the relief they are seeking, then I will.
I have suffered from constipation and colon problems my entire life. My entire focus every day is what to eat, drink or do *today* to make it better for the day. Probably 35 years of research & learning my own body has taught me what things make it better; what things make it worse. So, pay attention to your body! If I eat a banana, for example, I am DOOMED for at least a week as nothing short of dynamite is gonna help! Meat, dairy, flour..makes it 'worse' for me, too. Only you know what things to avoid.
However, I can truly say that I have purchased every product on the market and nothing has worked as well as this one does. I like that I take before bedtime, and have results in the morning. It isn't perfect; isn't quite the results that I would like to optimally have, hence the 4 stars, but it's the 'direction, not the perfection' and is a huge difference.
I'm so glad to have finally discovered on Dr. Group's website where he says some ingredients in colon cleansers make it worse (and he lists them) as that was a huge relief to read when all these years I've wondered what's wrong with me?? - psyllium actually becomes like a brick in my intestines and does all the opposite as have most products! Thanks, Dr. G for stating that.
Even when I had a colonoscopy a few years ago and took the prescribed laxatives, it didn't produce one single thing and I panicked because my body was not cleanly prepped for the procedure and yet I had followed the orders to the letter. How horrifyingly embarrassing.
I do like Mike Adams, the Health Ranger and receive his newsletter on [...]. He 'endorses' this product and for the most part, I feel he does his homework. For anyone who is concerned about the ingredients as a few reviews here state, I would advise contacting Dr. Group or Mike Adams with your questions. I think that is a good question!
Bottom (no pun intended LOL) line is..it works, and that is certainly a whole lot healthier for me than retaining it in my body!
3/14/10 I found a few things actually that I like much better and for a LOT less money and the good news is, you CAN link from Amazon too. My updated recommendations are: Colon Tone by Swanson Vitamins (available here but DO check out www.swansonvitamins.com); and Life Time Liquid Calcium-Magnesium Citrate sold by Lucky Vitamins (.com). I take that stirred into juice right before bedtime. Both are excellent and easy on the budget! |

| Reviewer: E. Goins, |
Bought this product a month ago. Decided to purchase it because I don't normally have daily bowel movement. I considered the price to be very high. The first day I tried the product, I experienced severe case of diarrhea and stomach cramps. Nothing weird came out of me but the frequent diarrhea was bad enough for me to handle.
I gave the product 3 stars just because it did help me release some of the "junk" that I had inside my body for not having daily bowel movement. But I would say this product is definately not for everyone. I have quit taking the pills. Instead, I have been eating more fruit, vegetables, and drink plenty of water. They can actually help you to have regular bowel movement naturally, without depending on this type of product.
I read articles on WebMd, and most doctors don't even recommend this type of product because they believe that every human body is capable of releasing bowel movement on its own.
So the question is, do we really need this type product or do we just think we need it?

| I have dealt with constipation quite a bit so I decided to try a colon cleanser. Sometimes only having a bm once a week! I don't like how laxatives work. So, I bought oxypowder. The first night at 4 pills did nothing the next day, so the second night I increased to 5 pills. I definately was able to go the next day, so the next evening I took the same 5 pills at bedtime. By 4AM I was running to the toilet. Every two hours, uncontrollable urges to go and ended up missing work because of it. I could barely hold it in! AWFUL! doesn't seem right to me for it to be pouring out of me. Think I will go down two pills tonight but if I keep on having this turn out, I will stop. Cant afford to miss work. |
Osy-Powder Colon Cleanse

| Reviewer: jmm, |
| This product was okay, I don't know that I would recommend it. For a while it worked and kind of got me regular, I didn't even finish a bottle so I don't know how accurate I can review it. I managed to get myself regular just by watching my diet and so I have no need for a colon cleanse product. However of all the colon cleansers out there if you want to use one this would be the one I would actually recommend you try. But I would make sure you try it over a long weekend because you will spend a lot of time in the restroom at first. |
Proceed With Oxy Powder With Caution!

| Review Date: May 21, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Marie, Reno, NV, US |
I have done colon cleansers before like the Almighty Cleanse with minimal side effects. So I decided to try something new to help my constipation issues. I decided to go with Oxy Powder due to all the great reviews and it appeared to have all natural organic ingredients. Now bear in mine I did a lot of extensive research-reading all the reviews, contacting the company (which the representatives were nice) and even speaking to a pharmacist before using this product to make sure I was okay with my decision to try it. So I gave it a shot.
The first night I took 4 capsules and did drink plenty of water with lemon juice throughout the whole day. The next day I only had 1 bowel movement. On day 2 I upped my dosage to 6 capsules and the next day had 2 bowel movements. On day 3 I upped it to 7 capsules and 2-2 1/2 bowel movements. Then I upped it to 8 and the next day had 4 bowel movements and I continued this pace for 7 days. On day 8 (1st day off cleanse) I noticed my side was hurting a lot and I was in intense pain and had to go to the doctor because I started bleeding. I have never had pain like this before and was very concerned. On day 9 I took 6 capsuled of Oxy Powder as maintenance and I notice on day 10 my pain intensified. So I am unsure if this is related to the Oxy Powder however I have never experienced this before.
Since this happened I have discontinued using Oxy Powder but I am left with a dull ache on the entire left side of my stomach that and intermittent sharp pains that I never had before. So now I have to go see a gastrologist and have a colonscopy and endoscopy $750.00 :( I am hoping I did not suffer intestinal damage because of this product. I did return the product and I was promised a refund. The representative at Global Healing was really nice!
I want to also say I did drink plenty of water while I was taking Oxy Powder and do drink a lot of water on a daily basis. So I am unsure if I have done more harm than good with this product.
I would recommend anyone considering this product to check with their physician first to make sure it is safe for your body. I give this product 3 stars because even though it did not work for me the representatives at Global Healing were extremely professional and nice!
****P.S.***** I am currently taking extra virgin coconut oil and benefiber with decaffeinated tea to help with constipation issues and so far it is working I am having between 2-3 bowel movements a day! |

A glorified laxative...
|
| Review Date: May 19, 2008 |
| Reviewer: LovelyLucy, NC |
I ordered this product with high hopes, but after using a whole bottle I am still not sure about it. The ingredients on the website are described as "high quality oxygen based", but after really reading through them, the ingredients seem very similar to a regular magnesium-based laxative. The directions say to take a large number of pills over the course of several days, and it'll definitely make you go to the bathroom - but it has the same effect as a regular ole' laxative, in that it causes your bowels to just retain a bunch of water so that the next day you go to the bathroom a bunch but it's extremely watery.
I have IBS/C and took Zelnorm, which WAS a miracle drug...unfortunately it was taken off the market due to health concerns. I decided to try out this product to prevent/reduce bloating - but when I take it at night, the next morning I am SO BLOATED until I go to the bathroom like 5 times. If I only go to the bathroom once, I'm still totally bloated - I guess from all of the water that has been sucked into my bowels as a result of taking the pills. I have found however, that taking 4 pills at night will make it easier to go to the bathroom the next day without all of the water.
All in all, I'd say take this stuff if you need a laxative - but it is not the "miracle pill" that it claims to be. I was pretty disappointed. |
not up to the hype

| Reviewer: D. steinle, Denver |
I am disappointed with this product after reading all the great reviews. I followed the directions to the letter, including taking fresh lemon juice to aid the reaction, etc. As the directions state, taking 2 more each night until reaching 3-5 bowel movements the next day. I am up to taking 16 pills, and have yet to have more than 2 BMs the following day, and have lost at most 1, maybe 2 lbs that I can directly attribute to this product, going from 245 to about 243. My stomach/intestines/bowels do make some noise, and true to form, my BMs are liquified. Word of warning...if you try this stuff and you feel the need to pass gas, do so at the very high risk of it not being just gas. Disgusting, I know, but I'm just being honest and trying to let you know what you are getting in to here.
I would have given one star, but since it did seem to help a little, I gave 2 stars.
As far as the shipping...I think I had the product 2-3 days after ordering, so no complaint there. |

Yes, I took this stuff awhile ago. I passed very foul, sulfur smelling, runny stool from this. It was unlike any other time that I've used the bathroom so something was happening. I guess I might have stuck with it if it wasn't so darn expensive.
As others have stated, you will stay in the bathroom. One lady mentioned that she saw her colonoscopy and it was clean. Actually, people do retain some feces in their colons but not the huge amt hyped up to be. |

| Reviewer: Kathryn, Culpeper, VA |
I followed the directions on the bottle. And it said to increase 2 capsules a night until you have three or more bowel movements a day. So I did, and I got up to 10 capsules - I didn't want to go past that. Then I woke in the middle of the night because of phenomenally sharp pain in my side! I thought my appendix had burst! Then I had diarhea for 3 days! I had to miss work! That pain in my side didn't go away for a week. I was really worried that this product damaged my insides.
I've tried several things since trying these. My advice to anyone is - if you are having this type of trouble, try elimation diets - start with gluten (wheat) and/or casein (milk) products. I have been gluten/casein/soy free for 2 months. And I go regularly 3 times a day with no fiber, no psyllium husk, no senna, no enzymes, no All-Bran, no Flax seed, no laxatives, no nothing! Your body is constipated because it REALLY doesn't like something you are eating! I've also been able to lose the weight I've been struggling to lose. |

| Either my bowels are in better shape than I thought or the product does not work for me. Basically caused my stomach to churn for 8 hours then out came water. I was afraid to use this on days I work because my position will not allow me to run to the restroom every 2 hours. |

| This product is advertised to be a colon cleanser. Yet when I received the bottle it says it is for constipation. This is not one of my problems. I took the product and then became what I thought was constipated. (loose stools). I called the company and was told this is normal and to stick with it. Well, I took all these capsules, and did not feel more energetic, do not believe my colon could possibly have been any cleaner, did not lose one ounce, felt bloated. The company person said it works for 98% of the people. IF this is so, I am one of the 2% that it absolute did not work for. An absolute waste of time and money, and this is from a person who has used other colon cleansers and eats fresh, wholesome, foods, no meat and exercises regularly. It took me about four days to get back "regular" after trying this product. I cannot recommend this product. |

Oxy-Powder Colon Cleanse
This product is nothing more than a souped up laxative. Do not waste your money. It does not de-toxify or regulate. The product claims to produce three to five bowel movements the next day. It took three days to have any effect and then only produced one movement, and resulted in sever diarrhea later. I was left feeling the same afterward as I did before taking the product. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Ingredients?

| Review Date: May 3, 2009 |
| Reviewer: fairlind, Louisiana United States |
So, what's in this stuff?
I went on their website, and found a single ingredient listed: Magnesium oxide. Look it up on Wikipedia. Then look up enteroliths.
If you decide you still want to use this stuff on a regular basis, (i.e. you don't mind the possibility of toxic levels of magnesium, wearing out your kidney, and growing bezoars in your gut), you may want to compare it to Milk of Magnesia. Just add a hydrogen molecule and some water. And deduct half the cost. |

| Reviewer: E. Romine, Birmingham, AL USA |
| I am very skeptical about all the hype about our colons and the toxins that are lurking. I decided to try a cleanser and this one claimed to be one of the best. The dose suggested is if I remember correctly, 4 pills at bedtime and if you did not get results, then you were to increase your dose to 6 pills. After the first night I got sick. Lets just say that I could not stop going to the bathroom. If I wanted to do that, then I would just eat a huge plate of mexican food. After this experience I doubt I will try another one. |

Complete waste of money

| Review Date: May 20, 2008 |
| Reviewer: E. Greenwald, Atlantic City, NJ |
| This product is a complete waste of money. It does nothing more than a normal laxative can do, however the side effects are a lot worse. This product causes severe bloating and cramping. As the manufacturer tells you, it also causes loose stools. Don't expect to travel far from a bathroom while you use this product -- you need to have it close by at all times, as your ability to hold your bowel movements in for longer than 30 seconds will be extremely compromised. Also, if you have a work out routine -- completely forget about doing it while on Oxy Powder -- you will not be able to work out for longer than 5 minutes without running to the bathroom. This is a complete waste of money. |
Horrible side effects

| Reviewer: G. Vereschagina, Ukraine |
I've been taking Oxy Powder for 3 days, following all the prescribed recommendations (including the healthy diet). I don't know how it works for other people, but for me it causes a very obvious diarrhea. It makes me go to the restroom a couple of hours after I eat anything, I clearly see the pieces of what I ate in what comes out. I feel dehydrated (in spite of drinking lots of water), dizzy, and have a very bad headache. Will not take it any more and will call them tomorrow to request a refund.
This bad experience also made me browse for medical research article on colon cleansing. Surprisingly, I could not find any.... On the contrary, it seems that our colon is typically nice, pink and clean, and no doctors or pathologists have ever observed a mucous plaque or anything of this kind. So I am not sure whether to trust the whole industry of colon cleansing products in general... |
Did not work, Stuff that cost $8 works 5000 times better.

| This just did not work, and i tried and tried and tried, i added lots and lots of lemon to water and drank it on a very empty tummy late at night before bed, nothing, tried it in the AM same thing nothing, i upped my dosage...nothing. well to be fair a little watery diarheah came out but not much...i have to say i am sticking w/ my swiss kriss...never lets me down, works in just hours. and costs only $9 online, lasts 2 months, but this would last maybe a few weeks given i took like 9 a day...and still did not work, too expensive, and since i got from an "independednt ebay distributor" at retail cost mind you who tells me she wont uphold the money back guarantee, i called the main company and they wont help me either, nothing. thats pathetic. really is. Have receipt for full price of $42.95 plus shipping costs, from their own distributor and they cant uphold the guarantee, which they offer 60day guarantee to customers. oh well. crappy company, hate the pills and dont like the way they treat their customers....wherever they purchase. |

I took this about a year ago, and I almost ended up in the emergency room. I was stuck in the bathroom at work for at least 15 mintues, with cramps that were so severe, I couldn't even STAND UP and pull up my pants.
I went directly to my doctor's office when the cramps subsided- afraid I had done permanent damage by being stupid enough to take these pills. (and I took the recommended dosage). Luckily, the cramps didn't come back and I threw away the remaining pills.
