Oxypowder is easier to use, Colosan is less expensive. Both products are very effective for those who need that type of cleanse. The choice is yours. You can do a short P&B cleanse is you are careful, drink plenty of water and not take huge doses of the psyllium. I would not use the P&B for more than a week, but it might be effective in helping sweep the colon clean after your magnesium based cleanse. A lot depends on how strong your peristaltic action is, and being well hydrated.

I have been taking Colosan for a few days now. My husband and I researched the ingredients and it is "for the most part" identical to Oxypowder BUT much cheaper. I don't like it, because it gave me the runs (which is what I should expect) BUT it doesn't work if I don't eat. OKAY, so if I really have all this built up goop on my intestinal wall, then why won't it come out? Why do I have to eat for it to come out - which leads me to believe that maybe it is really not working and only turning the food I am currently eating into watery squirts. The brochure with the Colosan states that people like this product, because it does not create the "urgency to go". Ummmm...there has been so much urgency with this product over the past two days that I am now going to have to throw out some undies as I couldn't get to the toilet fast enough. And, it has given me nausea. Oh yeah - I feel like I want to throw up for about 2 hours after I have take it. So, I have to wait an hour before I can eat and then I am sipping Gingerale and eating crackers, because I feel like I am going to barf. SO - BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION - MAYBE THERE REALLY IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PRODUCTS. I think I am going to try another product.

Hi Matt and Mike,

No Problem on the special..

I know you are very adamant about promoting colosan but there is a major difference between Oxypowder and Colosan. I have listed some of the differences below:

Comparison report - Difference between Oxypowder and Colosan:


MAGNESIUM

Oxypowder : The Magnesium in Oxy-Powder is completely different than that of Colosan. There are only 2 products in the world that are based off of Nicola Tesla and Eugene Blass's technology. These are Oxy-Powder and Homozon. Every other oxygen cleanser will not release the Monotomic Reactive Oxygen Species (01). 01 is negativity charged and 02 is neutrally charged. As you know for proper detoxification you need a negative charge to counteract the positive charge of the toxin. It takes 7 days to go through the process of stabilizing (01) to the magnesium oxides we use in Oxy-Powder.

Colosan: The magnesium in colosan is most likely Mg oxide or Mg peroxide. It is not a ozonated stabilized magnesium and does not release a reactive oxygen species such as (01). In independent lab tests Colosan released zero measurable oxygen.


CLINICAL STUDIES

Oxy-Powder: FDA phase I,II,III approved clinical studies have been performed on Oxy-Powder for the treatment of IBS and Constipation with a complete cure rate of over 90%. These studies were also published in the International Journal Of Pharma and Biosciences.

Colosan: No clinical trials have been performed or published in a recognized medical journal


OXYGEN RELEASE

Oxy-Powder: Initial ppm/g of oxygen released = 15.6 ppm , After 18 hours = 15.4ppm - Even after 18 hours Oxy-Powder was still releasing monotomic oxygen. This is what you need considering bowel transit time to make sure the entire bowel is cleansed.

Colosan: Initial ppm/g of oxygen released = 0 , After 18 hours = 0 - Colosan did not release any oxygen in independent lab testing - See Below after additional information


Additional Information

Dietary magnesium is NOT the active ingredient in Oxy-Powder®. Oxy-Powder® contains ozonated magnesium oxide, ozonated magnesium peroxide, Germanium-132, and natural citric acid . Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide which is a saline type laxative. The magnesia acts to pull salts or a saline solution into the intestines from the blood. This excessive fluid from your blood then provides a flushing action within the intestines. Oxy-Powder® does not cause any salt or water to be lost from the body. Products like milk of magnesia that actually pull salts out can possibly cause a loss of sodium resulting in an electrolyte deficiency. Epsom Salts is magnesium sulphate and is used as a laxative. It’s better to use than milk of magnesia and does not have as many side effects.

Epsom Salts however, do not rid the bowel of hard compacted fecal matter and do not provide any monatomic oxygen to the bowel.Magnesium Oxide (MgO) is not designed to be a source of bio-available (available for the body to use) dietary magnesium. The following situations could increase the bioavailability of MgO in Oxy-Powder®:

1. The quantity ingested must be so low, say 25 to 50 mg or so that it has little or no effect on stomach pH, allowing for a complete conversion into a magnesium salt of the stomach acids.This is why magnesium citrate is more readily absorbed. The citrate salt is similar to the type of magnesium salt that can be formed by small quantities of MgO in the stomach. If taken in quantities of 500 mg or so, MgO will have an antacid effect which will not allow the conversion of the salt to proceed. Since Oxy-Powder® has a generous excess of oxygen it is even less likely that there can be much, if any, conversion to any form of organic salt. This should be the case even under the most acidic of conditions found in the gastro-intestinal tract until all of the monatomic oxygen has dissipated.

2. Magnesium oxide taken in fairly low quantities, under 300 mg, and taken with large quantities of niacin in the form of nicotinic acid, and with amino acids, especially L-Carnitine, can become bio-available. The niacin, together with the amino acids, through a rather complex enzyme assisted series, results in a reaction that can enhance the bioavailability of many minerals, including magnesium. This combination can even help carry minerals across the blood-brain barrier. Here again, with the excess oxygen produced by Oxy-Powder®, it is questionable whether or not such a conversion could actually take place. This means very little if any magnesium would be absorbed by the body. Vitamin D may also increase the absorption rate of MgO.

3. Magnesium oxide taken with a large meal can result in hundreds of reactions with some of them creating magnesium salts, some of which could possibly be absorbed by the body. Even then, most of the Oxy-Powder® is not truly bio-available; it usually ends up in the urine. MgO, even when taken with food showed no meaningful change because the kidneys filter MgO out of the plasma. The true test for bio-availability is a blood test measuring erythrocyte Mg concentration not plasma concentration.



Analysis of Oxypowder and Competitive Products
Independent Lab Testing Facility Atlanta, Georgia

Study Summary:
Many products are being marketed as having the ability to generate oxygen in-vivo to provide elevated oxygen levels in the digestive tract for improved health. The source of this oxygen is
advertised as mixtures of various forms of magnesium oxides, although the exact compositions are not revealed on the product labels. Several forms of magnesium oxide can be used for these
purposes, including magnesium peroxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide and the compounds marketed as “ozonated” magnesium oxides. Samples of these “ozonated” magnesium
oxides were made available to determine if their activities were any different from that of the normal oxides so no claims can be made regarding their labeled effectiveness. Seven commercial
products were tested for their oxidative ability as measured by iodiometric titrations. Of the commercial products tested only Homozon and Oxy-Powder showed any oxygen releasing activity.

Experimental
No standardized test for these types of products was made available, although many product websites use the term “iodometric test”, which was interpreted by me as using the following analytical protocol. Samples were in either free powder of capsule form. One gram aliquots(sample) of each product was placed in 100 ml of water and stirred until the powders were dispersed. A pH measurement was taken, followed by acidification to pH 1-2 with hydrochloric acid. Five grams of potassium Iodide was immediately added and stirred until dissolution wascomplete. The products that exhibited oxidative properties generated Iodine from the potassiumiodide, with the resulting solutions turning dark brown in color. This liberated Iodine was titratedagainst 0.025 M thiosulfate to obtain an “oxygen value” used for comparative purposes. Analysesof products were performed at the initial time dissolution was complete and again for 18 hours insolution. Plots of the data are attached at the end of this report

Test Results - ( I just included Oxypowder and Colosan)
Oxy-Powder: manufactured by Global Healing Center - pH = 4.3 , initial ppm/g of oxygen released = 15.6 , After 18 hours = 15.4
Colosan: Manufactured by High Brand - pH = 11.4 , initial ppm/g of oxygen released = 0 , After 18 hours = 0

Discussion
Several products are being advertised as generating 60,000 ppm of oxygen, but I have no idea how this value is generated or calculated. It should also be noted that oxygen has a limited solubility in water, approximately 10 ppm at room temperature. This value this would equate to a 6% concentration of hydrogen peroxide which would be extremely irritating to the digestive tract. For this study I have used a conversion factor of *1 ppm of oxygen being equal to 1 ml of thiosulfate tartan. This value was obtained from the “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 17th edition; Method 4500. The Oxypowder sample appeared to retain the oxygen activity over the 18 hour test period in a safe level. Neither magnesium oxide nor hydroxide will oxidize Iodide to iodine. So many of the products that failed to generate any results can be expected to consist of these compounds.This analytical protocol can be used for additional work to determine the oxidative properties of various raw materials and formulations. The ability of Organic Germanium (as Bis-carboxyethylsesquioxide) to generate a response has yet to be determined. We have a sample of this material available if further testing is required


I hope this clears up any confusion you may have had and that all oxygen cleansers are not created equal.

Take care,
