Colon Cleanse Pro has seen an increase in popularity lately due to it being heavily marketed on the internet. This brief version of my full review will look into the company the makes Colon Cleanse Pro as well the product itself to help you see some things that many have otherwise been missed. I think you'll be surprised by what you see.
Aside from the 'Free' trial offer (I'll get to that later) the first thing that you'll notice are supposed endorsements from the Oprah magazine, USA Today, MSNBC, and CBS News. You'll notice, however that none of the quotes mention anything at all about Colon Cleanse Pro, but rather are about colon cleansing (in one form or another). This is a classic marketing tactic trying to get you to think that the product itself has been endorsed by these credible sources. To the quick browser, it may work. But if you pay any attention, you'll find that they in no way talk about Colon Cleanse Pro itself.
As far as the ingredients go in Colon Cleanse Pro, your guess is as good as mine. Nowhere on the site does it even slightly mention what ingredients are contained in the product. I'm assuming that there is some fiber in there, but aside from that, I just don't know. If I'm going to put something into my body, I'd be pretty interested to know what it is.
The first red flag that caused major concern was their 'privacy policy.' They explicitly state that they may sell or provide your personal information to other third parties. This means they'll likely sell your email, phone number, address, etc. to other people that want to market to you. My suggestion, don't give them a drop of information.
The Better Business Bureau didn't make me feel any better about the company either. Not surprisingly, Colon Cleanse Pro received an 'F' grade by the BBB. In fact, in late 2008, the BBB invited Colon Cleanse Pro to meet with them to discuss how they could correct the problems causing the complaints. The BBB reports that they have not responded to their request.
The first thing that you'll notice when you visit the Colon Cleanse Pro website is that big free trial that they offer. And while there may be some legitimate free trial offers out there, most of the ones that I've seen have been a way to lure people into a scam. In Colon Cleanse Pro's case? Smells like a scam to me. If you read in the fine print in the terms and conditions, you'll see that by getting a free trial, you also agree to enroll in their autoship program. This basically means that if you don't cancel within 15 days fo your order you will charged $69.98 and they will start shipping you new product every month and charging you the $69.98. I've read many complaints that it has been very hard for people to actually cancel this program and before they know it, they've been charged quite large amounts. Do yourself a favor, and make sure that you read all the fine print so that you know what you're getting yourself into.
I decided to test the ability to cancel the autoship myself (or just to see how their customer service was) by calling. The result? Nobody answered my phone call. Now I don't know if this was just a chance occurrence or not, but it definitely makes one raise their eyebrows a bit. Oh, and did I mention that if you are able to return your product, they charge a 15% restocking fee. Ouch!
In summary, I think it's safe to say that you should stay far, far away from Colon Cleanse Pro. They've had many, many complaints filed against them and are seemingly uninterested in trying to improve their business practices. They use shady sales tactics that are designed to take advantage of the unsuspecting customer. Colon Cleanse Pro looks like a scam to me.
