The Complete 7 Day Cleanse is a scientifically-formulated supplement that claims to gently cleanse the colon and digestive system by flooding it with intestinal flora, which reportedly help prevent the buildup of toxins--toxins that may cause extreme digestive upset. Unlike other colon cleansers, the Complete 7 Day Cleanse is completely devoid of dyes or artificial colors, ingredients that have also been blamed on intestinal problems, such as constipation.

This supplement is also fast-acting: just one daily tablet has been reported to normalize the digestive system in less than seven days of use. This is unusually fast for any supplement--most colon cleansers usually don't produce results for at least 14 days.

What ingredients does Complete 7 Day Cleanse contain? The Complete 7 Day Cleanse contains glucomannan powder, senna extract, cascara sagrada extract, psyllium powder, burdock root, red clover extract, guar gum, slippery elm powder, ginger extract, rhubarb extract, fennel extract, alfalfa powder, xanthan gum, inulin, oligofructose, methylcellulose, milk thistle etract, tumeric extract, picrorhiza kurrooa extract, artichoke extract, betaine HCL, hyssopus officinalis extract, parsley powder, dandelion powder, licorice extract, uva ursi extract, cranberry powder, chamomile extract, marshmallow powder, opuntia ficus indica powder, European ash powder, hibiscus powder, alpha-lipoic acid, l-cysteine HCL and blueberry extract.

Do the ingredients in Complete 7 Day Cleanse help cleanse the colon? It can. According to WebMD.com, a popular medical website, both senna and cascara sagrada can aid in the cleansing of the colon by stimulating the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the frequency of stool elimination. WebMD experts contribute this to its high amount of anthraquinone, a chemical reported to have purgative effects. It's even recommended as a short-term treatment for constipation, a common digestive problem.

The Complete 7 Day Cleanse also contains glucomannan powder, which helps soften and increase the size of the stool, making it more easier to eliminate. This can help remove toxins from the colon and intestinal tract, improving digestive function.

Is Complete 7 day cleanse safe? Not entirely. Although senna and cascara sagrada are effective purgatives, it can cause some stomach upset and mild to moderate diarrhea. It is considered safe for short-term use, however.

Verdict: Sufficient evidence shows that this supplement could be potentially effective for colon cleansing, if not for relief from constipation and other intestinal disorders.
