The individual dosage for Oxy-Powder varies depending on the individual. Taking it two times would not allow sufficient time to determine your individual dosage, especially since you have had to rely on laxatives in the past. We recommend giving at least 5 consecutive days for the product to work, each night increasing the dosage by two capsules. I would also recommend putting some lemon (organic preferable) juice in with your water in order to increase the acidity. This can sometimes affect the number of capsules necessary. Many people, including those with a history of bowel disease, compaction, constipation, laxative use, and those on medication, can take a few days to feel the full effects of oxy-Powder due either to the degree of compaction or to bowel nerve damage. In some cases of low stomach acidity, customer can take a supplement of Betain HCL, stomach acid, to achieve better results. All in all, a number of different factors can affect the overall effectiveness. I will include at least a partial list, but please keep in mind that we have worked with many people over a long period of time in order to help them achieve the best results possible with Oxy-Powder. Also, although we do not recommend it, we are aware of many cases in which individuals have taken very high doses without any ill effects, except perhaps very frequent elimination.
Following is at least a partial list of some of the factors that may affect an individual's response to Oxy-Powder even if he or she has taken the product in the past with good results:
Stress: This affects the entire body and can restrict all of the "housekeeping" functions, including elimination.
Diet: Changing what you eat as well as possibly consuming a food that you are allergic to or to which you have intolerance.
Exercise: Regular exercise promotes elimination and can increase the effectiveness of Oxy-Powder even within a given day.
Stomach acid: The reaction that generates oxygen from Oxy-Powder is dependent on hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Decreased acid due to lack of production or medication can dramatically affect how well it works.
Medication: Many medications list constipation as a side effect including: Beta-blockers, overuse of laxatives, some anti-depressants, some sedatives, many pain medications including narcotics, diuretics, and some tranquilizers. Please keep in mind that this is only a partial list.
Low water/fluid intake
Travel and disruption of daily habits
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Pre-existing bowel disease
Surgery
Low thyroid or other thyroid conditions
Vitamin B deficiency
Certain iron supplements including many ferrous sulfate supplements
