natural juices vs supplement caps

I know the guys talk about detox but I think they're wrong. Why do you think you need to detox your digestive system?
If you want to clean up your colon, psillium husk is the best thing. It will form into a gel-like substance, it will act like a scrub in your intestines, and it will keep them clean and healthy. Just make sure to be getting it on a regular basis.
I would recommend taking 7 caps per day N2Guard, drinking lots of lemon water, and taking 10g psyllium husk every night. You can also add in a good probiotic and digestive enzymes for additional benefits.
Any detox supplement is a scam.
However, there are good digestive aid supplements that I do recommend to all my clients. I am a big advocate of digestive enzymes, psyllium husk and probiotics. As bodybuilders, we are constantly overloading our digestive systems and those three supplements will go a long way in promoting optimal digestive health.

Take a high quality probiotic first thing every morning with a glass of lemon water before breakfast. Look for a probiotic supplement that is stored in the fridge. Remember that probiotics are a live bacteria and a product stored at room temperature will have a greatly reduced potency. A good probiotic supplement shouldn't be cheap.
Supplement with digestive enzymes with 2-3 meals per day. In particular look for the digestive enzymes proteases and peptidases, as these enzymes split proteins into small peptides and individual amino acids.
Psyllium husk is the highest natural food source of soluble fibre you can obtain. The majority of the fibre you intake from your daily diet is insoluble fibre. The key benefit of soluble fibre is that soluble fibre absorbs water in your stomach and creates a gel. It gives your intestines a sort of 'internal scrubbing' as it passes through. It will help keep you regular and the faster you can remove toxins from your body, the less likely they are to be re-absorbed.
