Ingredient #1 - Flaxseed
A variety of studies have shown that flaxseed increases the speed of bowel movements2. In short, it helps fight constipation. This is because of the insoluble fiber that flax contains - this type of fiber adds bulk and water to bowel movements, making them easier to move through your gut2.
Also the healthy anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats in flaxseeds decreased damage in the liver and allowed the livers to cleanse themselves more effectively.3

Ingredient #2 - Psyllium Husk
There’s evidence that psyllium husk has a balancing effect on bowel movements. It can both stimulate movement in sluggish guts and stop diarrhea in overactive guts4. In that way, it’s truly an intelligent herb.
In 22 subjects with constipation confirmed, stool frequency increased significantly after 8 weeks of psyllium treatment from 2.9 bowel movements per week to 3.8 per week5.

Ingredient #3 - Senna Leaf
Not only does the tropical plant senna improve constipation, it nourishes intestinal tissue with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties6. Senna leaf has also been shown to cleanse colons in preparation for colonoscopy procedures7.
In a placebo-controlled single-blind trial involving 42 humans, Senna in combination with Psyllium improved the frequency and quality of bowel movements from 48% to 63% when compared with Psyllium alone8.
In animal studies Senna has been shown to increase the important cleansing antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione in the liver.9

Ingredient #4 - L.Acidophilus
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a good bacteria commonly found in yogurt and fermented products, acidophilus has shown promise to enhance the immune system10,11,12 and inhibit virus replication.13
Acidophilus has also been shown to increase production of short-chain fatty acids, which help to nourish intestinal cells14 as well as improve bowel movement quality and stabilize the digestive process.15
Finally, research has shown that lactobacillus acidophilus binds to heavy metals and readies them for removal.16

Secret Ingredient #5 - Licorice Root
This herb addresses the all-important functions of the liver which processes toxins and dumps them into the digestive system. Licorice root can restore liver health, increasing its antioxidant capacity and protecting liver tissue against damage like fat accumulation seen in liver disease.17, 18
In a 2014 study Licorice was found to induce powerful detoxification enzymes in the liver that helped detoxify harmful substances (phase II enzymes that ready toxins for elimination in the urine or feces and the nrf2 enzyme that upregulates antioxidant defenses).18
A 2014 clinical study in humans found toxic chemotherapies caused liver “impairments” but when a form of licorice was taken, liver “clearance”, which had previously been impaired, was restored. In other words, the ability of the liver to cleanse and detoxify was restored.19

Secret Ingredient #6 - Cascara Sagrada
The small orange berries and bark of the cascara sagrada (also known as the California buckthorn) tree have been used in traditional and modern remedies to help stimulate muscle contractions that cleanse the bowels of built-up fecal matter.20,21
Way back in 1883, the British Medical Journal was documenting the effectiveness of this herb. The author of the article stated that it triumphs in helping with constipation when all other remedies fail.22

Ingredient #7 - Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a natural succulent plant whose curative gel is often used externally to treat cuts, scrapes and burns.
What many people don’t know is that it can also be taken internally to help soothe irritation, such as gastric upsets23 as well as promote probiotic growth24 and lower body weight and insulin levels25.
Aloes vera has also been shown in vitro to decrease oxidative stress by 50% and decrease inflammatory factors like Prostaglandin E2 and interleukin-8 by 30% and 20% respectively.26 This indicates Aloe vera has a anti-inflammatory effect which can explain why it is often used as a digestive tonic for an irritated digestive system.

Ingredient #8 - Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)

Ingredient #8 - Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are triglycerides triglycerides that are composed of a glycerol three fatty acids of medium length (hence the name). They are mainly found in palm kernel oil and coconut oil.
Researchers describe MCTs as having the “capacity to improve both intestinal ecosystem and permeability”. They strengthen the intestinal lining so that it doesn’t have porous leaks in it that can leak bacterial toxins into your bloodstream that cause systemic inflammation.27
If the gut is strong and not leaky, it will function much better, absorb nutrients better and transport toxins out of your body rather than having them be reabsorbed.
MCT has also shown potential for weight loss with a review of 13 studies on humans showing that MCTs cause “modest reductions in body weight”.28
