Nature's Secret Ultimate Cleanse is a colon cleansing kit that contains two nutritionally-formulated products designed to clean—and gently remove—intestinal toxins from the colon, which the company attributes to the cause of numerous digestive, immune and autoimmune ailments.

“[Nature's Secret] Ultimate Cleanse offers a unique, 2-step program that gently works through the digestive tract with the body’s own internal systems to cleanse and detoxify,” says Nature's Secret. “Each product contains proprietary blends of nutrients, designed to be taken together for best results. “

Taken daily, as directed, it reportedly produces results within days, with full detoxification seen after weeks of use. Although this kit doesn't contain the laxative senna, which is commonly used in detoxification kits, some reports say it may be even more effective.

What ingredients are in Nature's Secret Ultimate Cleanse? Ultimate Cleanse contains calcium, iodine, alfalfa, fenugreek, finger, dandelion, fennel, yarrow flower, Siberian ginseng extract, green tea extract, hawthorn berries, horsetail herb, licorice, marshmallow, mint, red clover top, red raspberry, safflower oil, skullcap herb, burdock, chickweed, mullein, papaya, black cohosh, cayenne, club moss, Irish moss, plantain herb, slippery elm, yellow dock, ginkgo biloba extract, milk thistle extract, echinacea angustifolia powder, calcium carbonate, cascara sagrada, fennel, psyllium, ginger, acacia gum, alfalfa, apple pectin, apple powder, barley rice, beet, glucomannan, gum karaya, lemon peel, mint, oat bran, red raspberry, slippery elm, lactobacillus acidophilus, chlorella and guar gum.

Do the ingredients in Nature's Secret Ultimate Cleanse cleanse the colon? There is sufficient evidence it can. According to About.com, cascara sagrada contains compounds called anthraquinones which can help promote the evacuation of waste from the colon, which can speed up its detoxification. It also contains green tea extract, which contains antioxidants called polyphenols—agents health experts believe can help detoxify the body and prevent cellular damage. Guar gum, lactobacillus acidophilus and milk thistle extract also aid in the elimination of waste, making it ideal for colon cleansing.

Is Nature's Secret Ultimate Cleanse safe? There may be some health risks associated with this supplement. According to recent reports, cascara sagrada may cause dehydration, irregular heartbeat and stomach cramps. It can also worsen gas production.

Verdict: If you're looking for a supplement that will truly “clean” your colon, Nature's Secret Ultimate Cleanse is an ideal choice. Several of its ingredients have been shown to speed up waste evacuation from the colon, which can help “detoxify” the colonic walls.
