What Is Power Flush 500?

Colon cleansing products, such as Power Flush 500, are becoming extremely popular through Internet sales. Although Power Flush 500 claims to be safe and reduce bodily toxins, it poses many risks for the average person.

Identification

• Power Flush 500 claims to reduce the chances of colon disease and help people lose weight from built-up waste in the body.

Ingredients

• The maker of Power Flush 500 claims to use natural ingredients, but it does not list them specifically on label. Colon Health Magazine speculates that Power Flush contains some type of laxative or herbal digestive supplement, such as ginger.

Considerations

• Power Flush 500 offers a free trial of the cleanser for the first 14 days. However, shipments will then continue at the normal rate of about $90 per month, unless you cancel before the trial period ends.

Tips

• As of 2010, neither medical science nor any government agency supports the use of Power Flush 500 or any other colon cleanser. Those with digestive problems should drink lots of water, exercise and eat a diet rich in fiber, according to Dr. Michael Picco of the Mayo Clinic.

Warning

• Colon Health Magazine warns that the majority of people should stay away from Power Flush 500 because its ingredients are unknown and could induce an allergic reaction. In addition, the labeling does not list a proper dose, which could lead to dependence on the product.
