This is a terrific cleanse. I could actually feel toxins leaving through my eyes and ears. (Burning pain) and it caused me to have the symptoms of a cold while toxins left my sinuses and lungs. I highly recommend this product. I do not feel, however that it is a total cleanse. In order to have that, one must also fast. I believe the lemonade fast is the best total cleanse, but before hand, one should take a milder cleanse to keep from going through a health crisis as so many toxins leave your system. If you plan on going through a more thorough cleanse afterward, or if you just want a great cleanser, I believe this is a great product. To get the best results, while on the cleanse, stay away from processed foods, fried foods, milk products and beef. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

I have been on the product for 3 weeks as of this writing; and, it works as it claims. I am regular for the first time in memory ( I am 62). I definitely feel less bloating,less cramping, and thankfully, less constipation. My personal regimen is to take 1 herbal and 1 fiber the first thing in the morning before breakfast. I am good for the day. I have more energy and I like the way my GI tract is on a normal balance each day.

The ingredients in the this product are really impressive with one major caveat. The chief ingredient in one of the daily tablets is Cascara Sagrada powder (bark), a laxative herb used most commonly in natural medicine to treat constipation. According to The Physician's Desk Reference for Herbal Medicine, stimulating laxatives such as this one are NOT recommended for use for more than 1-2 weeks. Definitely consult your doctor before going this route - not only is cascara sagrada an active ingredient but also you will be taking it morning and night for 30 days on this program. It may or may not work for some people, but for a good deal of people, there will be very unpleasant side effects that include diarrhea, loose stools, abdominal pain, and intense continual intestinal spasms.

You really have to be willing to pay the price to see if you're one of many who are intolerant to Cascara sagrada. If you are, as the package and leaflet state itself, you must stop use immediately. It is worthwhile to look at other comparable options that contain a different laxative herb with perhaps lesser side effects. Other herbal laxatives used to flush the colon and release waste include dandelion root, rhubarb root, butternut bark, flaxseed, red raspberry, senna, and barberry bark (not to be used during pregnancy).

Another thing to consider is that unfortunately the fiber for this cleanse comes in a tablet form, which many would argue is considerably less effective than in powder form. I got around this by adding more ground flaxseed and psyllium seed husks to my beverages.

This product is widely available at natural health food stores which is why we bought it and took the leap of faith. For my man, this product was tolerable and he kept with it for three weeks. He didn't have the negative side effects that I had which included strong continual (and audible) spasms in my abdominal area and really bad diarrhea all day long for every day I was on the cleanse. I love the idea of 'cleansing' so I gave it a good faith effort to see if the symptoms would subside. It meant being near the bathroom a lot, but I was hopeful to see things improve. On the ninth day, after re-reading that tiny disclaimer on the product package about Cascara sagrada, I stopped the program. It is VERY important to know that if you experience all-day diarrhea or loose stools at all with this product, STOP! It may seem counter-intuitive, as 'cleansing' is meant to remove a lot of retained debris in the colon, but it does much more harm than good.

I hope this helps someone out there who has either started the program and cannot explain the intestinal mayhem taking place, or someone who may be ready to jump and try the product. Conceptually it is an excellent detoxification program. Short of an ingredient alteration or two, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this program. If you have guts of steel and are willing to pay to simply try it out, I wish you the best on your cleansing journey and I hope you are one of the lucky ones!

This is the best fiber/cleanse supplement I have ever tried. I suffer with IBS and have many colon problems that run in my family. This product has saved my life! It does not cramp you up like laxatives do, and it really pretty gentle if you find your correct dosage. The price is right too! I highly recommend this product.

I hate to give this product a bad review because it seems like a good company with good prices and environmentally-responsible practices. But this product just didn't work for me, even at the maximum dosage of 6 pills twice a day. All I got was bad gas cramps. In fact I may have been a little more constipated than usual (sorry to be so graphic, but hey it's a colon cleanser!) The instructions say some people just have "sluggish colons" and they need to use the company's Super Cleanse product, but since UC didn't work even slightly, I'm reluctant to try any more of their products. The 2 stars is for the good value price for quantity of pills and the large variety of natural ingredients. I bought another herbal product called Colon Clenz at Wal-Mart that works much better, although it's just for 1- or 2-day use, not meant to be a whole-body detoxifier like UC.

I was a fairly long time user of this product and loved it because it was effective and, I thought, safe for extended use. Then I went for my first colonoscopy and was told by my doctor that I had Melanosis coli which is caused by using products with senna and cascara sagrada bark. She said that, if I didn't stop using the product, she would not be able to see anything on the lining of my colon due to the pigmentation changes. I have never seen anything about this in the product information and have now stopped using the product.

I find that this product is effective at 4 pills 2 times a day. That's a great deal of pills to swallow. I must gulp water to get them down, but the product is effective. I find that the product works best if taken with liquid on an empty stomach, then wait at least an hour before eating. I have not had any issues with my stomach being upset. I went off of the product in August for two weeks after 1 month on and found that I had to get right back on it again. I have slowly taken myself off of it, as directed, and had 'less than even sluggish' events by my own body. Back to the norm, I thought. I will consult with my doctor on that but the product does what it claims. Perhaps the SuperCleanse would require fewer pills.

I have been taking this product on and off for about 8 years or more. I started out with the Nature's Secret 5-day fasting cleanse. Having never done a fasting cleanse before, I can tell you that the detox can make you feel ill with mild flu-like symptoms. After the five days I can also tell you that you feel like you can walk on water. It is truly amazing. The multi-herb and multi-fiber pills are all natural and over time have given me great health benefits. I am 58 years old and I take no other pills. I am very healthy and look like I am in my 40's. I attribute it to these pills, not drinking tap water, and eating fruits and vegetables daily. I never use caffeine in anything. The multi-fiber and multi-herb pills will always be a part of my health program. The problem with many of the reviews I have read here is that some people do not give it a chance, or their body a chance to rid the buildup of toxins we breath, eat, and absorb from our artificial environments. Of all products I have used, this product is by far the most beneficial. Thank you Nature's Secret.

This product seems to be working, but I have experienced severe headaches, almost like a sinus pressure aching in my temples. Last night after taking it, the headache I already had intensified, and I experienced strong anxiety and a painful burning sensation in my throat-- I felt like I had to vomit but I stuck it out, and eventually the symptoms subsided, but I still have this burning in my throat? Anyone had the same experience with this? I know from the reviews that cold/flu- like symptoms are natural the first week or so on the program, but what I'm experiencing seems like a but much. I'm only on my 3rd day, and this is my first cleanse, so I suppose I should stick to the morning dose only...?

I've been on this cleansing program for about 2 weeks. I sometimes feel my intestines being squeezed but I think it's psychological. In all I think it works depending on the how many pills you take. You start off with one of each (the herb and fiber) and then increase it until you have a couple bowel movements per day. I take 3 of each pill in the morning and night and I really don't want to take more even though it doesn't seem to do what it says except make me feel like I have a constant stomachache. It's really bearable but just seems like a lot of pills to put in my body. But since it's temporary I suppose it is okay.
