Is the Gold Pill That Makes Your Poop Glitter Real?
Where to Buy Shit Glitter
Gold Poop Pills?There has been a picture of an ad online that claims that if you take a pill that is dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat-gold leaves your poo will glitter and sparkle for $425. Is this product real? Wouldn't taking a pill with gold in it hurt when you went to the bathroom? We will explore these questions and more in this article.
Yes, this is one of the silliest products I have seen, but when I see things like this I can't help but research the topic to let people know what is or is not real. Would you like to literally dump real gold down the toilet? Read below for more details. |

ARE THE GOLD POOP PILLS REAL?Supposedly, yes, these pills are real. They were designed by Tobias Wong and J.A.R.K. and are said to "turn your innermost parts into chambers of wealth." The cost is $425 a piece. The pills are currently unavailable for purchase at this time, but you can make your own (see below).
Is Gold Safe to Eat? Does it Hurt?Yes, gold is safe to eat if it is between 22-24 carats. The body does not absorb the gold, but will pass it. Thus, you will have glittering gold poo, as advertised.
Is it a pain in the butt? I have been looking all over and no one has claimed to have any trouble digesting gold flakes. I have not tried it myself, but it seems to me to be pretty safe if it is between 22-24kt as it would be soft (ha ha I can't help but laugh as I'm writing this!). |
Where Can I Buy Gold Leaves or Flakes?Gold leaves or gold flakes can easily be purchased in many places where baking goods are sold. Many people use gold flakes when baking or even float the gold flakes in beverages. I was able to locate a few different gold leaf options on Amazon on the right. They were only 23 -23.5 carats, but would have the same effect as the 24 carat gold pills.

Best Birthday Present Ever?
I can see one of the gold glitter shaker above being sent with a great birthday card: "Hi, I wanted your poop to sparkle like gold. Here are some gold flakes. Consume and enjoy your glitter poop!"
Are There Silver Poop Pills?Yes, there actually are silver poo pills that have been around for more than ten years (since 1998). This silver pills are the same concept as the gold glitter pills- the silver is edible, but will not digest.
Silver flakes are also a common baking ingredient. Once again, I was able to locate silver leaves on Amazon. |
