Why Our Formula Works
Each ingredient in *Slam Dump 15 Day Mega Cleanse* has been chosen for its unique properties that support digestive health, regularity, and gentle cleansing. Our formula is a holistic approach to cleansing that combines fiber, natural laxatives, and gut-soothing agents, all working together to help alleviate constipation, reduce bloating, and promote a balanced gut.
Unlike harsh laxatives that can cause cramping or dependency, our formula is designed for short-term use and delivers a gentle, effective cleanse. The synergy of these carefully selected ingredients provides a natural solution to help you feel lighter, energized, and free from digestive discomfort.
Cascara Sagrada Bark (10:1 Extract) – 300 mg
Cascara Sagrada has been used for centuries as a natural laxative. Derived from the bark of the Rhamnus purshiana tree, it contains compounds called anthraquinones, which stimulate bowel movements by encouraging peristalsis, the wave-like contractions that help move stool through the intestines. Scientific studies have shown that Cascara Sagrada is effective in relieving constipation and is gentler than many synthetic laxatives. The 10:1 extract concentration we use ensures a potent dose while remaining gentle on your system.
Psyllium Husk Powder – 300 mg
Psyllium husk is a form of fiber derived from the seeds of Plantago ovata. It is a well-researched ingredient known for its ability to absorb water, turning into a gel-like substance that softens stools and facilitates easier passage through the intestines. Numerous studies show that psyllium fiber can help improve stool frequency and consistency, making it effective for relieving constipation without causing dependency. It also promotes a healthy gut environment by acting as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria that support overall digestion.
Senna Leaf (20% Extract) – 285 mg
Senna leaf has long been used in traditional medicine as a natural laxative. It contains compounds known as sennosides, which stimulate the muscles of the intestines to enhance bowel movements. The 20% extract used in our formula provides an optimized dose, ensuring effectiveness without harshness. Scientific studies have validated Senna’s effectiveness for occasional constipation relief, making it an ideal addition for short-term digestive cleansing.
Flaxseed Powder – 200 mg
Flaxseed is a rich source of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making it valuable for digestive health. The fiber in flaxseed adds bulk to the stool, aiding in regular bowel movements, while the healthy fats provide anti-inflammatory benefits to soothe the digestive tract. Research shows that flaxseed can support regularity and may also reduce bloating, a common issue associated with constipation. Our formula includes flaxseed powder for its mild, natural way of promoting gut health.
Aloe Vera Gel (Powder 200:1 Concentrate, Leaf) – 100 mg
Aloe vera gel is known for its soothing and healing properties. In the digestive tract, it acts as a gentle laxative and provides relief from inflammation. The 200:1 concentrate used in our formula means that even in small amounts, aloe vera offers significant benefits for digestive health. Studies indicate that aloe vera can help alleviate constipation by increasing water content in the intestines, which softens stool and makes elimination more comfortable.
Licorice Root (10% Extract) – 100 mg
Licorice root has been used traditionally for its soothing effects on the digestive system. It contains compounds that support the production of mucus in the stomach lining, which helps protect the gut from irritation and inflammation. Research shows that licorice can reduce digestive discomfort and may even help with conditions like acid reflux. The 10% extract in our formula offers a balanced amount that supports the health of your digestive tract without overwhelming the system.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Oil – 14 mg
MCT oil is derived from coconut oil and is known for its quick absorption and metabolism by the body. MCTs provide an immediate source of energy for the cells in the digestive tract, supporting intestinal health and overall energy levels. Additionally, MCT oil has been shown to support gut health by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria. Its inclusion in our formula is designed to provide a small boost of digestive energy and enhance the absorption of the other ingredients.
