ColonFlow Review
What You Should Know
At some point in the weight loss game, the colon cleansing product became the next big thing. There are more colon cleansers on sale than ever before and each product claims to help the user to lose more weight and free the body from the build up of toxins. The Colon Flow cleansing supplement is one of these products. The ingredient list is full of natural laxatives, but do these laxatives actually help the dieter to lose more weight?
The price of the Colon Flow is $30.95 for one bottle. At the time of this review, the consumer can choose to order two bottles for $61.90 and receive a third bottle free.
List of Ingredients
Vitamin C, Magnesium, Bifidbacterium Longum, Bifidobacterium Bifidum (grown on soy), Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidphilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Frutafit Inulin (FOS), Apple Pectin (fruit), Bioflavonoid Complex, Gelatin, Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate and Silicon Dioxide.
Product Features
There are common ingredients that can normally be found in any colon cleansing product like uva ursi or dandelion root. This colon cleansing solution does not include any of these ingredients. The Colon Flow seems to focus more on the power of Magnesium and natural probiotics to keep the bowels moving and the colon cleansing.
Magnesium is often used to treat constipation and is the main ingredient in popular over the counter laxatives like Milk of Magnesia. This ingredient will increase bowel movements and decrease weight through dehydration, but this is not a permanent weight loss solution.
The probiotics are included as either gas relievers or as another form of mild laxative. Either way, the magnesium is the major ingredient in Colon Flow. The use of laxatives for weight loss is often linked to eating disorders and unhealthy means of weight loss. This product is no different from other over the counter laxatives.
Consumers who do not take in high levels of Vitamin C may feel a bit of stomach and bowel discomfort associated with higher Vitamin C levels. The Colon Flow product includes 333% of the daily RDA for Vitamin C in every two capsules. That is enough to cause cramping and loose bowels in people who are sensitive to Vitamin C.
Advantages
- The product was formulated by a doctor.
- There is an official website.
- The Colon Flow is affordable.
Disadvantages
- Colon Flow is a laxative and not a weight loss product.
- There are three possible sources of laxatives or laxative side effects in the product.
- There are no testimonials with before and after photos on the website.
Conclusion
The Colon Flow supplement is going to make the consumer lose a small amount of weight due to the laxative and diuretic qualities of using a stool softener on a daily basis. This weight will not stay off once the dieter stops taking the Colon Flow. Laxatives are only a short term weight loss solution, but fat burners and appetite suppressants can be better choices for long term weight loss and support.
