If you often wake up feeling bloated, heavy, or uncomfortable because your bowels have not moved normally, you may have wondered whether there is a simple way to support digestion before going to bed.
You may have seen claims online about “cleansing 15 kilograms of waste from the colon overnight.” While this sounds dramatic, there is no reliable evidence that a drink can remove 15 kilograms of waste from the colon in a single night.
The good news is that you do not need an extreme detox to support healthy bowel movements. Your digestive system is already designed to move waste through the body. Instead of trying to “flush” the colon, a better approach is to support regular bowel movements with adequate fluids, fiber, movement, and healthy daily habits.
