The claim “Clean 15 kilograms of waste from your colon in one night” is not scientifically accurate.
Your colon does not normally store 15 kg (33 lb) of waste, and there is no safe drink, tea, or “detox” that can remove that amount overnight. This type of claim is commonly used to sell cleanses or supplements.
If you’re concerned about constipation or digestive health, these approaches are supported by evidence:
- Eat more fiber from fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
- Drink enough fluids throughout the day.
- Be physically active, as regular movement helps bowel function.
- If needed, use an over-the-counter laxative as directed by a healthcare professional or according to the product instructions.
A true bowel cleanout is generally only done:
- Before a colonoscopy, using a prescribed bowel preparation.
- Under medical supervision for certain cases of severe constipation.
Seek medical care if you have:
- Severe abdominal pain
- Blood in your stool
- Persistent constipation lasting several weeks
- Unexplained weight loss
- Vomiting or inability to pass gas or stool
If your goal is relieving constipation, reducing bloating, or improving digestive health, I can suggest approaches that are supported by medical evidence.
