    But I know it cleanses your colon

    Have you ever seen a clean colon?
    I've never seen a colon period. Have you?

    Yeah, lots.

    Anyway, I think you should try it. Let us know how your dancing gets on.

    The active ingredient is senna and it has a laxitive effect: so it will clean you out, and quite possibly give you the runs (which is why you lose the bloat/excess water). Agree about the taste: they do make one with lemon now that tastes better and I think it is a little less potent. Do your homework on senna and stay home or near a bathroom if you decide to use it. It does lose its effectiveness over time. I occasionally drink it for a couple of days when I am feeling all "bloated and foamy" after the holidays, a vacation, etc.

    LOL! I've never heard of this, but I just read some of the Amazon reviews, and they're hilarious.

    But in short - no, I don't think this is a good weight loss product and I don't really think anyone needs to cleanse their colon (unless directed by a physician). I WILL remember it for constipation, though.

    I suffer from IBS, horribly. (If it's not diarrhea it's constipation... horrific way to be). THAT being said, and under the care of my doctor and a specialist, I have a box of this crap. If my medication isn't working and it's been upwards of 5-7 days with nothing happening, then yes. I have a cup or two.

    It's, IMO, gross tasting and the effects are awful. BUT, it is, in my case anyways, being used a medicine and I think of it as that. There is no way I would drink this daily nor would I want to!!

    Please do not use this a means of losing weight! You could do serious damage to yourself and I just don't think it's worth it!!

    I went through a whole box of this vile tasting concoction, sometimes 4-5 cups a day in a desperate measure to get things moving. It did NOT make me go to the toilet, nor did it relieve any bloat.
