Today, there exists irrefutable proof that the kind of foods we eat has a direct impact on the quality of our bowel health. The digestive system is the foundation of our body and the ability to absorb nutrients from food not only influences our survival but also the quality of our life. Do you prefer fast foods and foods high in fat? Does your menu consist mostly of processed meats and grains, eggs and cheese? If this is the case you do not get enough fibre. Fibre is vitally important for a healthy bowel. Food is not only a source of nutrition, but thanks to its fibre content it also supports the working of the bowels. It provides the bulk which the intestinal muscles need to work with.

This accelerates the transfer of the digested food through the bowels and at the same time ensures a faster elimination of unneeded harmful substances. Fibre rich foods are legumes (beans, broad beans, soy, peas, and chick peas), whole-grains (oats, wheat, barley, rye, spelt), natural rice, buckwheat, fruit and vegetables, flax seed, etc. By consuming enough vegetables like leeks, garlic, onions, artichokes and Jerusalem artichokes you can improve the health of your intestines. All of them provide healthy food for your bowels. The previously mentioned vegetables have a “probiotic” effect on the bowels, which means that they help to form intestinal bacteria that provide health benefits. They also aid in their growth, which is equally important for a healthy intestine.

Colonix fibre is an excellent supplement

A frequent consumption of foods lacking fibre necessitates supplementation with a nutritional supplement so the intestine remains healthy and able to perform properly. Colonix fibre, one of the components of the Colonix program, is an excellent supplement. In addition to psyllium (the richest natural source of fibre) it also contains soluble and insoluble fibre from 15 various medicinal plants.

By taking it regularly you:

• achieve an optimum performance of the digestive tract, mainly the small and large intestine.


• support the natural process of elimination.


• avoid damaging the intestinal mucous membrane.


• prevent various intestinal diseases.

Sauerkraut – natural medicine for the bowels

I am sure you are familiar with sauerkraut and even like to eat it. Yet you may not realize its health effects. Sauerkraut contains a whole spectrum of vitamins: beta-carotene - provitamin A, C, B, E a K, plenty of minerals: potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and magnesium as well as trace elements, the most important of which is sulphur. Moreover, sauerkraut is also rich in phytochemicals with antibiotic and anti-carcinogenic effects. It also contains vital enzymes, amino-acids containing sulphur and mustard oil. This makes sauerkraut an important healthy food for your bowels.

However, all these benefits are found predominantly in sauerkraut that has not been processed by heat nor sterilized. Only unprocessed sauerkraut retains all heat sensitive nutrients – vitamin C, as well as all other beneficial bacteria – probiotics and enzymes. The live enzymes work like the pancreatic enzymes in that they aid digestion. Therefore, daily consumption of sauerkraut is very helpful for people with an impaired function of the pancreas, e.g. to maintain the sugar level in people with diabetes.

Lactic acid is the most valuable component of sauerkraut. Together with the vitamin B group it regenerates the damaged intestinal mucous membrane. It also helps with digestion directly in the stomach by compensating for an insufficient amount of hydrochloric acid.
Sauerkraut juice:

• contains probiotic bacteria which prevent the excessive growth of pathogenic and putrefying bacteria in the bowels and have an exceptionally beneficial impact on the functioning of the gall bladder, thereby lowering the blood cholesterol level.


• activates the function of the bowels and the elimination of toxic substances.


• supports metabolism.


• has a water draining effect and so allows the rapid elimination of waste material from the body.


• helps with chronic constipation and diverticulosis as well. 1 dl of the fresh juice 3 to 4-times a day complements the treatment of various problems of the digestive system such as irritable or inflamed colon, unwanted bacterial yeast growth or other imbalances of the whole digestive tract.

Sauerkraut also helps to heal the bowels because of its high amount of cellulose fibre which:

• improves the passage of food in the bowels.


• supports regular evacuation and so prevents constipation.

So remember to eat sauerkraut; it is a healthy food for your bowels and of great help, particularly when experiencing intestinal problems.

Plantago – a unique source of fibre

The foods which we eat daily do not always give us a sufficient amount of fibre and therefore we need to supplement it. Naturally, it is best to choose a supplement which provides the richest source of natural fibre. Psyllium fulfils this requirement. How do we get it? It is obtained by cleaning the husks of the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. When mixed with liquids it starts to form a gelatinous mass and becomes up to 40-times bigger. Psyllium is a source of easily soluble fibre similar to the fibre found in some grains (oats, barley). But there is a difference; it is much higher in fibre than these grains.

Psyllium, when taken regularly, optimizes the physiological function of the digestive tract, mainly the large and small intestine. This is achieved because fibre absorbs a large amount of water, therefore increasing the bulk in the bowels which stimulates the intestinal peristalsis. When using psyllium strict adherence to the instructions is necessary: one spoonful is poured into 200 ml of liquid (milk, water, fruit juice); but you can also mix it with yogurt or buttermilk. Stir quickly and drink at once. Immediately afterwards drink an additional 250 ml of water. It is imperative to strictly maintain this drinking regime!

Intestinal bacteria change significantly during a lifetime

At birth the digestive duct is sterile. Bacteria gradually enter it, at first during nursing and later by contact with the environment and through eating. With advancing age the composition of the intestinal microflora significantly changes. In older people many useful bacteria (e.g. bifidus bacteria) decrease in number; they may even disappear altogether. On the other hand the number of unwanted bacteria, e.g. lactobacillus, enterococcus, entero-bacterium and clostridium, increases. This may cause the pathogenic bacteria to become dominant in the bowels and increase the spread of toxins into the whole body. Consequently, there is a considerable increase in a whole range of diseases: liver function impairment, IBD - inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), cancer - mainly colon cancer, IBS - irritable bowel syndrome or gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and small intestine).

Probiotics – useful bacteria

Our bowels need plenty of these “friendly” bacteria. When they are present the digestive tract and the supply of nutrients work at their optimum. Their function in the colon is to decompose those parts of food which couldn’t decompose in the small intestine. They are, among others, e.g. complex sugars – oligosaccharides, proteins, resistant starch as well as non-starch polysaccharides, i.e. fibre, etc.

It is generally known that the colon of an adult takes in approximately 60 to 80 g of undigested food residues daily. This food is partially decomposed in the front part of the large intestine by the bacteria of the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genus, into lactic and fatty acids with a short chain (acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid). These acids have a positive influence on the host organism. This is how epithelium cells of the colon acquire energy, the pH is lowered, the absorption of calcium, iron and potassium increases and they have a highly beneficial impact on the metabolism of glucose and lipids in the liver. For more useful and healing properties of probiotics see here.

You can provide your bowels with probiotics – the useful lactic bacteria, by eating healthy food for your bowels daily. Dairy products such as plain probiotic yogurt, cottage cheese or kefir, and also unsterilized sauerkraut, belong in this category. Should you not eat the mentioned products daily, or in certain acute health situations (taking antibiotics, diarrhoea, bowel inflammation, etc.), you can supplement the useful bacteria in the intestine by taking the nutritional supplement Flora Protect Probiotic.

The Colonix program for inner cleansing

Maintaining a healthy colon requires high quality soluble and insoluble fibre; both of which play a decisive role in this process. A thorough cleansing of the colon from accumulated build-up, sediments and parasites is achieved and symptoms of constipation are not only alleviated but in most cases disappear altogether. It is an ideal means of prevention, protecting you from various diseases. It is recommended and beneficial even after bowel cleansing to regularly use Colonix. Apart from psyllium it contains an additional 15 different types of soluble and insoluble fibre from medicinal plants.

Why use Colonix Program:

• it gently supports the natural process of evacuation.


• it is effective in preventing the formation of further sediments and build-up in the bowels.


• brings relief from constipation and haemorrhoids.


• reduces the formation of intestinal outpouchings – diverticulosis.


• provides a feeling of being full which prevents the intake of more food supplying energy and so contributes to reducing body weight.


• protects the mucous membrane of the intestines from the unwelcome irritation of toxic and carcinogenic substances.


• reduces the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum.

All users of the Colonix program have been able to find out that it is the most effective and safest natural solution for constipation ever.
