Since GLP meds slow down your digestion, constipation can be a real problem! MagO7 is an oxygen colon cleanser, digestive detox support, and natural laxative alternative. This may help bring water and oxygen into the intestines, break down hardened waste, and promote gentle bowel movements - all with no cramping or bloating.
-
Capsule: Take 3 capsules on an empty stomach with 8–12 oz of water. Use for 7–10 days or until desired cleanse has been attained. Serving size may vary depending on the individual. Increase serving size by up to 2 capsules until desired effect is achieved. If needed, decrease serving size for maintenance.
-
Always take on an empty stomach. MagO7 cleanse pills can be taken any time of day, but preferably 2–3 hours after your last meal.
For best results, take right before bed and wake up to a gentle bathroom experience!
Drink plenty of water, at least 8oz but ideally more! Water is Key!
Struggle swallowing capsules? Gently squeeze the capsule to shorten it or try the powder!
May be used occasionally or as part of a longer cleanse

Track Your Journey
Keep track of your weight-loss journey with this handy sheet. Remember that there will be highs and lows and fluctuations. No need to obsess over the scale, check in only once a week to get a snapshot of how it’s going.
Also there is more than just the number on the scale! Take measurements of your upper arms, chest, abdomen, hips, thighs, and calves. Some weeks you may lose inches and not pounds. Take front, side, and back photos of yourself so you can compare a before - during - after, too. Again, sometimes when you feel stalled or like it is slow-going, these are all good data.
Celebrate all the non-scale victories like fitting into that favorite pair of jeans, less joint pain, moving down a size, etc. All of it counts! Please share these moments with us so we can celebrate with you, too.
Remember: You are unique, and so is YOUR journey. Resist the urge to compare it with anyone else. We look forward to checking in with you once a month - to encourage you and cheer you on!
* Your actual weight-loss may vary. A healthy and appropriate weight loss is about 1-2 lbs per week. Please have realistic expectations for yourself and this medication.
