Need superior cleansing? Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse claims it can. It even promises to improve the health of your colon within six to 72 hours, making it one of the fastest-acting colon cleansers available. But this colon cleanser isn't in supplement form: this smooth, easy-digestible fiber formula dissolves within seconds into your favorite beverage, making it relatively easy to swallow. But does it actually work?

What ingredients are in Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse? Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse contains psyllium husk, senna, fennel seed, peppermint, papaya, rose hips, buckthorn bark, celery and acidophilus.

Do the ingredients in Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse cleanse the colon? It can--it just doesn't appear to be safe. According to MedicineNet.com, senna can cause diarrhea, rectal irritation, bloating and stomach cramps even with moderate use, and this doesn’t even include its serious side effects. It can promote bowel movements, however, although often unpredictably.

Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse also contains ingredients rich in fiber, which can reduce fecal transit time. Buckthorn bark and celery are rich in dietary fiber, which can reduce the pain associated with having a bowel movement. Health experts have not indicated if it is useful for colon cleansing, however.

Is Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse safe? As stated earlier, this product is potentially unsafe. According to numerous health experts, senna may cause serious side effects, including rectal bleeding, rapid heart rate, fainting, sweating and dizziness. Prolonged use can also cause dependency, worsening constipation. People with kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure or edema are advised to seek medical advice prior to using Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse.

Verdict: There's no doubt this formula can promote colon cleansing, but the issue here is its safety. Senna has been clinically shown to cause serious gastrointestinal problems, and may not be safe for people with certain heart, kidney or blood conditions.
