A strong herbal colon cleanse using stimulant laxatives for detoxification and bowel regularity, but comes with potential risks for long-term use and offers limited direct skin benefits.
NatureWise Total Colon Care is an aggressive herbal blend designed for comprehensive colon cleansing and detoxification, heavily featuring stimulant laxatives such as Senna, Cascara Sagrada, Cape Aloe, and Turkey Rhubarb. While it aims to flush the colon and provide detoxification benefits, this reliance on strong laxatives raises concerns among nutritionists regarding potential for dependency, cramping, and disruption of natural bowel function with prolonged use. It also includes chlorophyll, but at a modest dose compared to dedicated chlorophyll products.
- Contains a wide array of herbal ingredients targeting bowel regularity.
- Includes fiber (Inulin) for digestive support alongside stimulant laxatives.
- Affordable price per serving for a multi-ingredient blend.
- Heavy use of stimulant laxatives (Senna, Cascara Sagrada) can lead to dependency, cramping, and electrolyte imbalances with prolonged or frequent use.
- 'Detox' and 'colon cleanse' claims are often overstated for products of this type and not supported by strong scientific evidence for long-term health benefits.
- Relatively low chlorophyll content for specific chlorophyll-related benefits compared to dedicated chlorophyll supplements.
- Contains stimulant laxatives; should not be used for more than 7-10 consecutive days without consulting a healthcare professional.
- May cause abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea.
- Not suitable for long-term daily use as it can disrupt natural bowel function.
- Consult a doctor if pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.

Categories
Chlorophyll 60.0
While this product does include a modest 30mg of chlorophyll, its overall formulation is heavily skewed towards laxative effects for colon cleansing, meaning it's not a primary or optimal choice for experiencing the full range of chlorophyll's purported benefits.
Goals
Detoxification 50.0
The product effectively promotes immediate bowel evacuation, contributing to a feeling of 'cleanliness,' but its reliance on potentially harsh stimulant laxatives limits its score due to concerns about sustainability and potential long-term adverse effects on the body's natural detoxification mechanisms.
Skin Health 40.0
Any potential skin benefits from this product are largely indirect, stemming from a temporary bowel cleanse, rather than direct action from the modest chlorophyll content or other ingredients specifically targeting dermatological improvements.
