An Effective Cleanse Program Should:
- Include a gentle, non-stimulant laxative featuring all-natural herbs and nutrients that work with your body to get things moving safely. Be careful about stimulant laxatives that contain senna or cascara, which can be harsh and unpredictable.
- Feature natural herbs and plants that work to enhance the body's own built-in purification system.*
- Not deplete the body of beneficial nutrients that could leave you feeling drained or fatigued.
