Optimum Health (OH) Detox & Cleanse Review

[PhiSigPhi]

Ok. So I haven't done a review in a long time, but mainly b/c I'm going to lay off most supplements; however, I seriously have some Digestive Track issues lately and after ordering Pro Complete 40 Protein from this company and doing some research, I felt their detox product might be my best bet.

I have been taking in around 45g+ of fiber a day and I still have problems sh!tting. I **** a few times a day but its often difficult, hardly anything comes out, and/or it's just not my old sh!t I once had.

Claims:
-Weightloss (claims from 4-16lbs in a month have been reported. I don't think the claim is fatloss though)
-Promotes regularity
-Improves skin condition
-Flatenning of the waistline (I don't mean this means fatloss, but reduction of stomach bloat/fecal matter)
-Increased energy levels
-Immune system enhancement

I'll be able to report on all of these items except for immune system. I normally don't get sick anyways so whatever. Weightloss may be difficult too as I am off my break and I will be doing cardio/eating to promote fat loss, but if I'm losing more than 1-2lbs a week than I'm sure it's partly due to this product.

Ingredients:
Cascara Sagrada
Buckthorne Bark
Bentonite Clay
Slipper Elm
Aloes
Flax Seeds
Senna
Peppermint Leaves
Boldo Leaf
Milk Thistle
Ulva Ursi
Burdock

I'll come back to these later after some research to explain what their effects are supposed to be.

Suggested use:
The use of this product is highly determined by the user. It is suggested 2 pills (1 serving the bottle contains 45 servings) taken at bed time with at elast 6-8oz water. An additional serving can be taken upon waking up on an empty stomach with 6-8oz water. Additional servings should be taken until 3-4 bowel movements occur a day.

Additional research from people have said 2 at night alone did wonders. 2 weeks seems to be the magic number for the initial detox with 2-3 day "re-ups" every 2-3 months or after a weekend of bad eating/drinking.

Personally, I'm going to take 1 serving at night and a half serving in the morning and see how that goes for a few days. I'll adjust accordingly.

Cost for a bottle was $44.99+$5 for shipping. They did include a free bottle of digestive enzymes ($23.99 normally) with the product. There was no special deal. They also gave me a free bottle of the enzymes with the purchase of my protein powder too. I don't know why. I'm not complaining though.

Wish me luck and I hope you enjoy the review/graphic descriptions lol.

NOTE:I'm putting all daily updates and final review up here in case anyone wants to research this.

DAY 1:
Weighed 200lbs even this morning.

I would say I had about 5-6 sudden urges to go, but nothing I couldn't control. If i had to sit in a meeting more than 15 mins, I don't know if I could have held it! LoL. No pain, no cramps, although I was a bit more thirsty than usual. I drank probably a gallon of h2o instead of my normal 3/4 gallon at work. Total water intake around 1.5gals+

DAY 2
Updating early b/c I am going to a wedding tonight.

Weighed in at 197.4lbs and .25"-.5" less on my waist. 2.5lbs weightloss in one day. It's all waste/water disposal, thats why extra water intake is important.
My bathroom time has been more diareah(sp?) like lately, but still relatively controllable. Keeping the H2O intake high. Already had 3/4 gal today and will easily have double that the rest of the day.

Day 3-4
Not much change this weekend. I feel a lot less bloated/full than I have been lately. I've also noticed I have a little more energy and I'm sleeping A LOT better. My waist is a little trimmer, but not by much. Weight has not changed. Still sitting at 197.4. Still plowing down the water. Sunday (Day 4) I switched to 2 pills (1 full serving) in the morning instead of half a serving.

Day 5
Woke up at 4 AM and well ya know, had to go! A lot! I planned on doing this for 2 full weeks, but at the same time, I'm unsure how I know if I'm actually removing backed up waste or if it's just causing me to sh!t more in general?

Rest of the day, business as usual for the past few days. Also, my ass is raw from all the wiping! Nothin a lil gold bond at night doesn't fix but it certainly sucks during the day.

Day 6-12
Been a while for my update but things haven't changed significantly. Still doing my thing, drinking A LOT of water. It seems to have toned down a little bit, but for some reason, I still feel like something is there, in the way. I am considering taking an additional 1-2 pills in the evening and see what that does. Being that there is nothing in the product but natural items, I don't think I can overdose. I may be regretting it in the morning though! Wouldn't mind hearing what you all think?

I'm beginning to think of how I can reintroduce healthy bacteria to my body as I'm sure I've lost quite a bit of that during this process. I'm probably going to continue until I run out of pills (which I think will be about 1-2 more weeks) unless I all of a sudden feel magically perfect.

Days 13-14

I doubled up on my night dosage to 4 pills total. Didn't change anything. Actually, I noticed I didn't have to go as much. Verdict, I think I'm cleared up. I haven't lost anymore weight than I did in the first few days nor anymore inches around my waste. Feel like I have more energy and oddly enough, I'm sleeping a lot better. I'm giving the sleeping better to clearing out my system with these pills as I didn't change anything except that.

It's good timing to come off these pills b/c I will be doing a lot more traveling soon due to my move. Can't be trying to drive 20 hours having to emergency sh!t every 15-60 minutes.

Days after completion

The last few days have been amazing! I'm sh!ting normally, don't feel bloated, not clogged up. Even weirder, I haven't been working out nor eating perfectly (not to say I'm eating bad but it hasn't been perfect either) and I lost about another 1.5lbs and .25 off my waist. It's nice to have a working digestive system! Stopped by the store to pick up some pro biotics and live culture yogurt to help reintroduce/grow some healthy bacteria in my tract again.

Verdict
I'm happy with my purchase. I still have some left over that I plan on using about 1 weekend a month until I run out.

Results were about 3.5lbs weight lost (1lbs after I stopped taking the pills), 1.5" off my waist, more energy, better sleep, less bloating, and satisfaction. Not sure what caused my problem as I had been eating really good, but whatever it was is out of my system.

I haven't used other products to compare it too though, so I can't say that this is the best stuff out there, but I would purchase again.

Expelling excrement is always exciting isnt it?

I like the part about getting rid of the bloat, all that blockage that's just hanging around there..
I bet you'll feel like a million bucks when that "sh!t" (lol) is gone

I treasure my bathroom time like I treasure my gym time. It's "Josh's Time". It's a time to reflect... plus, who doesn't like the lightweight, refreshed feeling you get after dropping off a **** ton of baggage at the pool?

A sh!t journal. Lovely. No pics needed. As u unblock, there are other things u need to add that we will talk about later.

[PhiSigPhi]

Sounds good thanks

Nah, I wasn't going to put pictures. I even debated about whether to do the review, but I think in this world, this can be an important aspect of your health if done when NEEDED.

Digestion and absorption are the two most important, yet most overlooked aspects of nutrition.

[PhiSigPhi]

1 gal was just at the 9 hours at work. I drank an additional 1/2-3/4 gal on top of that

[PhiSigPhi]

Update up top for day 2. Will be at a wedding tonight so I thought i'd update early.

[PhiSigPhi]

Day 3-5 updated above

[TheHorseman]

Suggestion: Why don't you measure your waist/weight once weekly or every 3rd day? Day to day (on just about any type of change) isn't enough for the body (unless you get salmonella like I had earlier this year).

Holy SH!T dude!! that was hilarious. I was LOL, literally. My girlfriend came to see what all the commotion was about and just shook her head. I tried to tell her it was a guy thing...

I was actually thinking about taking those same pills. Keep up the journal and I just may try them.

[skullmurdoc]

Looks like fun.

Yeah I know! It's usually not my style, but I had a hard time finding reviews for these so here we are. I'm glad you guys get to have a laugh out of it. But I'll be honest, I'm feeling A LOT better already.

[RyanLRams]

is it a mental or physical improvement?
