If you’re referring to a claim that you can “clean 15 kg of waste from your colon in one night,” that’s misleading. There is no safe, evidence-based method that removes anything close to 15 kg of “toxins” or accumulated waste from a healthy colon overnight.
What actually happens?
The colon naturally moves stool toward the rectum and eliminates it through bowel movements. The amount of stool in the digestive tract varies, but claims of 10–15 kg of accumulated feces in an ordinary person are not medically realistic.
Products marketed as “colon cleanses”—including strong laxative mixtures, herbal detox drinks, enemas, and colon hydrotherapy—can cause:
-
Dehydration
-
Electrolyte abnormalities
-
Severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps
-
Medication interactions
-
Rarely, intestinal injury or perforation
Your liver and kidneys already handle the body’s normal detoxification processes; you don’t need a colon cleanse to “remove toxins.”
If you’re constipated, a safer approach is usually adequate fluids, dietary fiber, physical activity, and—when appropriate—a clinically recommended laxative such as polyethylene glycol. Persistent constipation, blood in the stool, severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or inability to pass gas warrants medical evaluation.
If you want, I can also explain what is actually in your colon, how much stool it normally contains, and how to safely relieve constipation overnight when necessary.
