Health Canada licensed with NPN 80057043.

Q2: What are the five herbs in Detox Colon Care and what does each do?
Green coffee bean extract (200mg, 50% chlorogenic acids, QCE 1200mg) provides potent antioxidant support through chlorogenic acids and supports healthy liver function and glucose metabolism. Green tea extract (225mg, 75mg EGCG, QCE 1350mg) provides EGCG catechin antioxidant support and supports healthy metabolic function. Burdock root extract (100mg, QCE 600mg) is a traditional digestive tonic and liver support herb rich in inulin prebiotic fiber and phenolic acids. Calendula flower extract (25mg, QCE 100mg) supports healthy inflammatory response in the digestive tract through its flavonoid and triterpenoid content. Fenugreek seed extract (150mg, QCE 1200mg) supports healthy digestive function and healthy metabolic function through its galactomannan soluble fiber and saponin content.

Q3: What does QCE mean and why does it matter?
QCE stands for Quantity Crude Equivalent, which is the amount of raw (unprocessed) herb that the concentrated extract is equivalent to. For example, the 200mg of green coffee bean extract in this formula is a 6:1 concentrate, meaning it is equivalent to 1200mg of raw green coffee bean. The total QCE across all five botanical extracts in this formula is over 4,450mg per capsule, meaning each capsule delivers the botanical potency of over 4 grams of raw herbs in a single convenient capsule. QCE is the standard way to compare the potency of concentrated herbal extracts.

Q4: Does Detox Colon Care contain caffeine?
Yes. This product contains approximately 47.5mg of naturally occurring caffeine per capsule, derived from two sources: approximately 10mg from the green coffee bean extract and approximately 37.5mg from the green tea extract. This is equivalent to approximately half a cup of brewed coffee. Individuals who are sensitive to caffeine should be aware of this and avoid taking this supplement close to bedtime. Monitor total daily caffeine intake from all sources including coffee, tea, and other supplements.

Q5: What is the difference between green coffee bean extract and regular coffee?
Green coffee bean extract is derived from unroasted Coffea canephora seeds, before the roasting process that converts chlorogenic acids into other compounds and significantly reduces their concentration. Roasting coffee beans produces the characteristic flavour and aroma of coffee but destroys much of the chlorogenic acid content. Green coffee bean extract preserves the full chlorogenic acid content of the raw seed, standardized to 50% chlorogenic acids in this formula (100mg per capsule), providing potent antioxidant support that is not available from roasted coffee.

Q6: What are chlorogenic acids and why are they important?
Chlorogenic acids are a family of polyphenol antioxidants found in high concentrations in unroasted coffee beans, as well as in fruits, vegetables, and other plants. They are the primary bioactive compounds in green coffee bean extract, comprising 50% of this extract (100mg per capsule). Chlorogenic acids are potent antioxidants that support healthy glucose metabolism, healthy liver function, and antioxidant defence against oxidative stress. They are largely destroyed during the coffee roasting process, making green coffee bean extract the most concentrated dietary source of chlorogenic acids.

Q7: What is EGCG and why is it in this formula?
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is the primary catechin polyphenol in green tea and the most extensively studied green tea compound for antioxidant and metabolic support. Each capsule of Detox Colon Care provides 75mg of EGCG from 225mg of green tea extract (Camellia sinensis, leaf), a 6:1 concentrate equivalent to 1350mg of raw green tea leaf. EGCG supports antioxidant defences, healthy liver function, and healthy metabolic activity, complementing the chlorogenic acid antioxidant support from the green coffee bean extract.

Q8: What is burdock root used for in this formula?
Burdock (Arctium lappa) root has a long history of use in traditional European, Chinese, and Ayurvedic herbal medicine for supporting digestive health, liver function, and skin health. Burdock root is rich in inulin (a prebiotic fiber that supports healthy gut microbiome balance), phenolic acids, and sesquiterpene lactones. It has been used traditionally as a digestive tonic and liver support herb, recognized for supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways. Each capsule provides 100mg of burdock root extract (6:1 concentrate, QCE 600mg).

Q9: What is fenugreek seed used for in this formula?
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean herbal medicine for supporting digestive health and healthy blood glucose levels. Fenugreek seeds are rich in galactomannan soluble fiber, which supports healthy digestive function and satiety, and saponins, which contribute to its traditional use for supporting healthy metabolic function. Each capsule provides 150mg of fenugreek seed extract (8:1 concentrate, QCE 1200mg). Note: fenugreek may affect iron absorption consult a healthcare practitioner if you have iron deficiency anemia.

Q10: Is this supplement licensed by Health Canada?
Yes. This product is a licensed Natural Health Product with NPN 80057043, approved by Health Canada under the Natural Health Products Regulations. It is manufactured in a GMP certified facility in Canada.

Q11: Who should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking Detox Colon Care?
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes or are taking medications to manage blood sugar, have a history of liver or kidney disease, have iron deficiency anemia (fenugreek may affect iron absorption), are taking blood thinning medications, are taking medications metabolized by the liver, or are sensitive to caffeine.
