DESCRIPTIONS
THE SLUDGE™ is a bulk-forming laxative that provides gentle relief of constipation and / or irregularity and promotes bowel movements. It is a proprietary, Health Canada Approved and trademarked product specific to gut health.
The name originates from having customers affectionately refer to the mixture as “the sludge“ when it is added to water.

​

​
How to take THE SLUDGE™:
-
Mix 1 scoop (12 g) with at least 6 oz (180 ml) of liquid (water, fruit juice or similar aqueous beverage) in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, or, for each gram of psyllium, mix with 30 ml of liquid.
-

-
Take during the day (not immediately prior to bedtime).
​
Additional recommendations:
-
THE SLUDGE™ is generally best taken on an empty stomach, but as the body is adjusting to an increase in fiber, it can also be used just prior to a meal if experiencing sensations of nausea or stomach discomfort.
-
Drinking 1-2 liters of water a day is a helpful addition to THE SLUDGE™ which aids in moving the fiber through the intestinal tract.
-
There are instances where increasing fiber can lead to “rabbit turd” bowel movements. If this happens, the addition of stool softeners or products that increase water retention in stools can help attain one bowel movement per day, which is recommended before starting THE SLUDGE™.
-
There may also be a temporary increase in gas or bloating as the intestinal tract adjusts to the increase in fiber and the cleansing effects of the product.
FEATURES
THE SLUDGE™ is a fiber supplement designed to support gut health. This proprietary blend features psyllium in combination with synergistic components that target gut health: MCT oil with caprylic and caproic acids, acacia fiber and diatomaceous earth.
Having adequate fiber intake along with adequate fluid intake daily can promote consistent bowel movements and help prevent constipation and irregularity.
