15-day Weight Loss Cleanse and Flush |
 |
Review
Summary |
The 15-day Weight Loss Cleanse and Flush is a fifteen-day course of tablets made up of a variety of seeds, leaves, bark, fruit, roots, herbs and alga. Taken with 8-10 glasses of water per day, this formula is meant to detoxify one’s system, preparing it for more effective digestion, while jump starting the metabolism. Formerly known as Dr.'s Choice Diet and Cleansing Plan, this colon cleanse created by Natures Secret, is supposed to help boost the metabolism and promote better digestion, as well as absorption in the intestines. Colon cleansers have been on the market for years and are often promoted as a way to enhance weight loss. While we support detoxifying the body, this method should certainly not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet or exercise. |

| Website In Focus |
|
The herbalremedies.com website contains a list of ingredients, including specific amounts, for the 15-Day Weight Loss Cleanse and Flush, but there is no explanation behind how the various natural ingredients are actually going to accomplish the product’s intended goal. The Wyoming-based company carries many different products and has been in business since 2000. They provide many ways to contact the customer service department such as, a toll-free phone number, local phone and fax numbers, an email address and a postal address. There is also a detailed map to their location.

There isn’t anything scientific mentioned on this webpage. The basis for using the ingredients is never explained, and they certainly are not verified with any clinical data.
The article mentions that people taking medication should avoid the product, but it does not indicate if this includes birth control as well, which would affect many women’s
decisions
Cascara Sagrada has been suspected of causing liver failure and there is no mention of this very critical piece of information on the website.

| Final Thoughts |
|
While the 15-Day Weight Loss Cleanse and Flush does have some nutritive value in the ingredients, there is no way of knowing if they are flushed out with everything else because of all the natural laxatives and diuretics. Again, if one is a believer in this type of detoxifying, then they will probably find that this product does the job; however, it should be noted that there are some serious risks involved, not just from dehydration, but liver problems as well. Detoxifying the body is a good thing – but this is not a product that should be used in the long term. Dieter’s might be better served by eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise and choosing a diet supplement that will aid in fat-burning and appetite control.
