High Potency Probiotic Formula
We have included within the Detox program a high potency Probiotic formula called Alive. Alive contains 3 strains and 25 billion friendly bacteria within an enteric coated capsule for maximum effectiveness. Probiotics have also been clinically proven to support and relieve some digestive problems as well as playing an important role in improving overall health. Probiotics may also help boost poor intestinal immunity and help those suffering from allergies.
Significant Research Has Gone into Developing The Quick Cleanse®
Detox Program!
Since the original Quick Cleanse® Detox Program was first launched in 1998, over one million Quick Cleanse® Kits have been sold in Australia. Many of the special cleansing herbs and fibres formulated in the Quick Cleanse® Detox Program are acclaimed in the writings of herbal researchers for their ability to help stimulate digestion, hence contributing to the purifying effects on the body. The special herbs within the Quick Cleanse® formulas are not only powerful internal cleansers, but also support and strengthen the digestive system. In a nutshell, Quick Cleanse® helps to detoxify your body, revitalise your digestive system and get it back on track.
A Quick Cleanse® Detox May Also Help You Lose Weight!
Quick Cleanse® is not intended to be a weight loss program; however, it is not unusual to lose some weight while on the program. We have found that people who are overweight may lose some weight during the program, while people who are already at a healthy weight for their body size will not find much of a fluctuation, if any at all. If you are overweight and adopt healthier eating patterns, exercise daily and take herbal supplements that speed up waste removal, this will naturally help you shed some excess weight.
How long should I stay on the Quick Cleanse® Detox Program?
For maximum results we would recommend you follow the Quick Cleanse® Detox Program for 15 days. However it may be difficult for some people to find the time for the full 15 days, that’s why we have created the Quick Cleanse® 7 Day Detox Program. If you decide to do a 7 Day Detox and are happy with the results, we recommend that you do another 7 days immediately after completing the program. If this is not possible, please try and do a full 15 Day Detox within 2 months of completing the 7 Day Program. Remember, detoxification is not just about relieving constipation or losing weight. It’s about getting your digestive system in top shape and back on track.
Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms
Caffeine is found in chocolate, tea, coffee and some soft drinks. Unfortunately caffeine places an extra load on your liver and adrenal glands. For this reason, foods and drinks that contain caffeine are not recommended during the Quick Cleanse® Detox Program. When you stop taking caffeine your body may experience one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms – headaches, migraine, nausea, vomiting, low energy, or a general feeling of being unwell. The amount of caffeine you consume may not be indicative of the withdrawal symptoms you experience, so it is strongly recommended you wean yourself off caffeine before commencing the Quick Cleanse® Detox program. This may take anywhere from a few days to a week. If you don’t, you may experience some of the unpleasant symptoms we have listed above.

Are You Sensitive to Herbal Formulas?
If you are generally sensitive to herbal formulas or never have detoxed before, please start with HALF the recommended dose for the first 2 to 3 days. So instead of having 1 Bowel Clear tablet after breakfast please have 1/2 a tablet (break in half) and so on. If feeling well, you can increase to the full dosage on the third day. This is to ease you into the detox and help prevent and reduce detox symptoms.
Note: Due to tablet size and coating we recommend tablets be taken one at a time, with water.
On Rising:
Drink a glass of warm water (150mls) with a dash of fresh lemon juice (this kick starts your digestion). Wait 20 minutes and then drink 200mls of fresh vegetable juice, carrot, celery, beetroot etc. Alternate every other day with fresh fruit juice - Apple, pear, prune, apricot, watermelon, pineapple, pawpaw etc.
Mix these juices together or simply have one. Swish the juice in your mouth to provide needed saliva for proper digestion. If you don’t have time to prepare fresh juices please use only bottled organic fruit juices which contain 100% juice and “NO ADDED ANYTHING”.
Please Note: If you suffer from constipation drink 300mls of 100% prune juice (bottled) every morning instead of the above juices.

I lost weight during the Cleanse and it has remained off!
Numerous friends are commenting on how well I look, so I’m recommending the Quick Cleanse program to them all. I am so grateful to have more energy than I’ve had for years. At 61 years, I’m about to move to the Blue Mountains and start a new life pursuing my art career. The Quick Cleanse Program has given me the strength and courage to do it.

No More Bloating or Constipation!
I would like to thank you for your marvelous product. For years I have suffered from severe bloating, abdominal distress and constipation. My waist measurement would have a huge variation from in the morning to noon. Since doing Quick Cleanse, I have no more problems with bloating and have regular bowel movements. Thanking you so much.
Shirley P. NSW.
I lost weight on your program!
I am 52 years old and work in accountancy. During the past twelve months my weight has increased and I was feeling run down and lethargic, so when my daughter told me about your Quick Cleanse 15-Day Detox Program I decided to do the program. I lost weight on your program and that has encouraged me to continue with good eating habits and exercise daily. I feel fantastic and co-workers have commented on my calmer and happier person. They are now intending to do the program themselves now that they have seen the results I have achieved. Thank you for creating such a fantastic product.
Pam C. Tweed Heads, NSW.
Extra few kilos came off without any problems!
I was already in a healthy weight range before the cleanse, however I had been cheating and eating a lot more over winter and found that extra few kilos came off without any problem, and all my symptoms had noticeably decreased. It’s not a program I’d normally think of taking but would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Compliments to the chef!
Cheryl Elphick. Northcliffe, WA.
