Do the ingredients in Hydroxycut Maximum Strength Cleanse System For Men help cleanse the colon? Not necessarily: its ingredients have only been shown to speed up elimination of the stool, which may cause temporary weight loss. According to About.com, senna and cascara sagrada both contain active compounds called anthraquinones, which promote purgative activity in the colon. Over time, it can cause the colon to force expulsion of the stools and the body's natural water reserves, causing rapid diarrhea and water loss. This can cause people to drop anywhere from one to seven pounds, caused by the rapid loss of water. But--and this is important to note--these effects are temporary, and only last until the person replenishes this water loss (by drinking water, for example). It's not a reliable or safe way to lose weight--rapid water loss can cause severe dehydration.

Is Hydroxycut Maximum Strength Cleanse System For Men safe? Not necessarily. Both senna and cascara sagrada contain purgative effects, which can cause water and stool loss. This can cause severe cramping, rapid diarrhea, dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes, which can affect heart function. These purgatives are especially dangerous for people with gastrointestinal problems, such as Crohn's disease.

Verdict: As a weight loss and colon cleansing supplement, it's not just ineffective—it's potentially unsafe. It's really only ideal for people who need short-term relief from constipation, a condition it may help temporarily alleviate.
