EverCleanse is a colon cleansing kit that claims to remove toxic waste from the colon, improve the body's ability to digest essential nutrients, and promote weight loss via its weight loss supplement 7-Keto. Used in conjunction with its detoxifying formula, EverCleanse reportedly helps people lose 200 percent more weight than with diet and exercise alone, with a clinically proven ability to reduce overall body fat. Its third formula, a maintenance formula, also reportedly protects the colon from additional toxic wastes derived from "unhealthy" or "impure" foods. Better yet, all of EverCleanse's ingredients are all-natural, which may reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions, which are common with synthetic ingredients.
What ingredients are in EverCleanse? EverCleanse contains a probiotic blend of lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium lactis, fructooligosaccharides, larch arabinogalactan fiber, colostrum and indole-3-carbinol.
Do the ingredients in EverCleanse cleanse the colon? It possibly can. According to a 2000 study reported by the Journal of Daily Science, lactobacillus acidophilus can decrease toxic amines present in the blood of patients with bowel bacterial growth due to its ability to target--and break down--harmful bacteria. The same study also reported it reduced the incidence of pediatric diarrhea, the risk for colon cancer and improved the digestion of lactose in lactose-intolerant patients. Bifidobacterium has also been shown to treat numerous gastrointestinal issues because it is inhibits the production of harmful bacteria.
Is EverCleanse safe? Yes, but lactobacillus acidophilus may cause some mild side effects. These side effects include increased gas production, stomach discomfort and vaginal pain.
Verdict: Although the increased risk for gastrointestinal upset is a concern, EverCleanse contains all-natural--and more importantly, clinically proven effective--ingredients that can promote colon cleansing, namely lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium. As far as colon cleansing supplements go, EverCleanse is a superior product.
