Overview

This product delivers a substantial amount of dietary fiber and includes a wide array of fruit, vegetable, and herbal extracts. The fiber components are well-dosed for digestive support. However, the efficacy of the extensive 'Fruit & Vegetable Blend' and 'Purifying Complex' is limited by proprietary blending, meaning individual ingredient amounts are unknown, making it hard to assess if they reach clinically effective doses. The overall 'cleansing' and 'detox' claims are not robustly supported for this specific multi-ingredient combination.

The Good

Provides a substantial amount of dietary fiber (11g per serving) supporting digestive health.

Includes a broad spectrum of fruit and vegetable powders/extracts, potentially offering diverse phytonutrients and antioxidants.

Contains adequate doses of essential vitamins (B12, Pantothenic Acid) and minerals (Magnesium).

The Bad

Extensive use of proprietary blends means precise dosages of many beneficial ingredients are undisclosed, making efficacy evaluation difficult.

The 'purifying' and 'detox' claims lack strong scientific support for this specific product's efficacy.

High fiber content may cause gastrointestinal discomfort (bloating, gas) if not introduced gradually with ample water.

Is it for you?

Best For: Individuals seeking to increase dietary fiber, support digestive regularity, and enhance fruit/vegetable intake.

Skip If: You have a history of esophageal narrowing, difficulty swallowing, or are on medications that may interact with fiber (e.g., certain heart medications, blood thinners). Consult a doctor if pregnant or nursing.
