Super Easy to Use, and Effective!

Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros:effective, inexpensive, easy to take
Cons:label not as complete as it could be
The Bottom Line: This is a great product to help with regularity and cleansing of the intestinal system.
My friend recommended the Super Colon Cleanse by Health Plus Inc to me and let me try two days worth of hers before I spent the money on it myself.
This is a great product for anyone looking to cleanse their system economically and effectively. I bought a bottle of 240 capsules from GNC for just under $18 including tax. There is also a smaller size of capsules, and a powder form available for those who may have difficulty with swallowing capsules or are looking for a faster way to digest the serving. The powder is meant to be mixed with beverage, but I'm not sure about the specifics with regards to how much powder per ounce of liquid.
The capsules are easy to take and you can take them with water, milk, juice, or any beverage of your choice according to the label. The "suggested use" according to the label is to take 4 capsules 3 times a day. It is recommended that they be swallowed with at least 10-12 ounces of beverage to avoid choking. For better results, you can alternate Super Colon Cleanse with the regular Colon Cleanse by Health Plus Inc. I have not done so, and my experience is only with the Super Colon Cleanse.
The nutritional label is not as complete as I feel it should be. One thing that is missing from the label is the fat value. On the front of the bottle, to the left of the product name, it states "Low Fat," however there is nothing on the label to confirm that statement. The label also states that this product is a good source of fiber, however in the Supplement Facts the value for dietary fiber per serving is less than 1g. The label (nor the website from what I could find) give instructions for how long the product can be taken safely. There is no reference made to whether this is safe for long term daily use, or just an allotted amount of time, such as one week a month or so.
One serving of 4 capsules provides 10 calories, 1g of total carbs,less than 1g of fiber, 1mg of iron, 1g of psyllium husk powder, and 576mg of senna powder. This product also contains fennel seed, peppermint, papaya, rose hips, buckthorn bark, barberry root, celery, and acidophilus. The amounts of these ingredients are not listed on the label.
As with all supplements, it is recommended that you first consult a doctor before using. The label states to discontinue use if you develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain.
My experience has been positive with this product. I have had no cramping, no diarrhea, and no loose stools. It took 2 days to begin working, so the capsules are not a fast route. The powder may work faster, according to the sales man where I bought it.
Do not be misled! Some people, my friend included, think that colon cleanse products are a weight loss plan. This is not the case! After taking this product, I have not lost anything, however I did not take this product with the intent of anything other than cleansing my system.
As with all supplements and medications, keep this out of the reach of children.
One more thing printed on the label that I will share here is the statement "15% Discount Coupons available for first time users on request or visit our website." I did not read this until after I purchased my bottle, and it is in smaller print, so I thought I'd put this here so maybe someone else could benefit from the savings.
