This gentle recipe focuses on natural fiber and hydration, which may support normal bowel regularity. It does not “flush” or cleanse the colon instantly; your digestive system already removes waste naturally.

Why These Ingredients Are Used
Organic Chia Seeds
Contain:
- Soluble fiber
- Plant-based omega-3 fatty acids
- Minerals such as calcium and magnesium
When soaked, chia seeds form a gel-like texture that can help add moisture and bulk to stool.
Organic Flaxseed
Contains:
- Dietary fiber
- Lignans (plant compounds)
- Healthy fats
Ground flaxseed is preferred because whole seeds may pass through the digestive system without being fully broken down.
Lemon (Optional)
Adds:
- Flavor
- Vitamin C
