Colonic irrigation’s benefits have long been endorsed by the likes of Madonna, Princess Diana and, of course, Gillian McKeith.

But because of the intimate – and some would say uncomfortable – procedure and hefty price tag, many people are put off by the idea of colonic irrigation.

So for those of us who want to detox without the dreaded hose, help could be at hand in the form of a simple capsule.

British company Transformulas have developed their Transdox Colonic Purifying nutraceuticals, a tablet which promises to regulate your digestive system, cleanse and regulate the colon, and even flatten your tummy without the awkward salon scenario.

Following the course of tablets, it is said that your insides become much clearer, which in turn helps reduce sluggishness, gas and bloating, regulates bowel movements and aids a positive feeling of balance and well being.

Each capsule of Transdox Colonic Purifying contains a host of plant extracts including Plantago Ovata (psyllium), which is rich in fibre and helps absorb liquids and also Juglans Nigra (black walnut) which helps kill parasites and oxygenate the body.

A huge amount of nitrates and hormones are absorbed into our bodies from both water and food, along with prescription drugs such as tranquilizers and birth control pills remaining in our drinking water, even after going through the sanitization process.

Colonic irrigation tablets are designed to help alleviate the problems associated with this.

A two week supply is priced at £26.95 ($41) – a price tag much lower than just one session of colonic Irrigation, which can cost around £100 ($150).
