    Ive heard that it helps with weight loss when used in conjunction with colon cleanse. On its own it is an incredible superfood.

    Yes, I used to drink a juice that made claims it helped in weight loss as well as help with joints. Well, it was pricey, and I got no relief from it at all. Like I always say, I have tried them all!!!! But am so happy now that I found a program that really works for me and is simple and effortless.

    I've heard it's supposed to be a great source of antioxidants and, some celebrities claim that it helps them lose weight. I've tried it in cereal bars and pop tarts and it was pretty good... but I personally don't lump it in as an amazing weight loss item. Too gimicky for my taste... I mean, what makes it any better than other types of berries for weight loss. Get my picture?:-D

    It does have antioxidants, but does not have any weight loss affects.

    I used the colon cleanse one about 8 months ago--forgot what brand--and it didn't help me. But I am very irregular so it could just be me.
