What is the dosage for Intestinal Formula # 1?
Start with ONE capsule of Intestinal Formula #1 in the evening during or just after dinner (do not take it on an empty stomach.) The following day you will notice an increase in bowel action. If there is no difference, increase your dosage to TWO capsules that evening. Continue increasing your dosage each evening (by one capsule) until you have an ‘ah-ha’ moment on the toilet the following morning, evacuating more than is typical. Eventually, your optimum bowel behavior should be one bowel movement for every significant meal (2 to 3 per day).
Could taking Intestinal Formula #1 be making my colon lining dark?
The Senna ingredient used in many herbal bowel formulas sometimes temporarily stains the colon wall. This ""staining"" is called Melanosis Coli in the medical field, and this condition is not dangerous or harmful (visit Wikipedia and search Melanosis Coli for more details). Senna is used in several of Dr. Schulze's bowel formulas, such as Intestinal Formula #1, Intestinal Formula #1 MAX, Intestinal Formula #3, and his Bowel Flush SHOT. Dr.Schulze uses senna in all four bowel formulas because it works and is safe. He always asked his patients and customers: ""To poop or not to poop?"" If the choice is between constipation (which has been known for centuries to cause disease) and a temporarily stained colon (whose only down-side is making it more difficult for a doctor to read a colonoscopy), the answer is clear to him, but of course, it is your body and your decision. As a suggestion you can stop taking the bowel formulae a few weeks before your next colonoscopy.
What are the differences between Intestinal Formula #1 and Intestinal Formula #2?
Dr. Schulze’s Intestinal Formula #1 contains herbs that powerfully stimulate the peristaltic waves (muscular contractions) of the large intestine to promote regular and complete bowel movements. It gets you going more.
Intestinal Formula #2 is a deep-cleansing formula that removes excess waste and toxins from the bowel. The herbs absorb up to 10 times their weight to draw out, neutralize, and remove excess waste. It cleans you out.
These two formulas make up Dr. Schulze’s 5-Day Bowel Detox program when taken together. Optimally, Dr. Schulze recommends a seasonal bowel cleanse (each winter and summer)—even if your bowel is working great—to help maintain healthy elimination.
