Ultimate Cleanse is a colon cleansing product that is produced by Natures Secret.  You can find it for sale in a number of different retail stores as well as on various nutritional sites online.

How does Ultimate Cleanse compare to the other colon cleansers on the market? Is it effective?  What kind of business practices does the company engage in?  This Ultimate Cleanse review will delve into these questions to give you a good picture of what Ultimate Cleanse has to offer.  As is customary with my reviews, I’ll first take a glance at the product itself and then move on to research the company behind the product.

Ultimate Cleanse Ingredients

Ultimate Cleanse, like other colon cleansers, uses a 2 step process during it’s cleanse.  They describe it well on their website:

“Ultimate Cleanse® offers a unique, 2-step program that gently works through the digestive tract with the body’s own internal systems to cleanse and detoxify.* The two formulas in Ultimate Cleanse® are Cleansing Blend with Herbs and Cleansing Blend with Fibers. Each product contains proprietary blends of nutrients, designed to be taken together for best results.*”

The first blend (Cleansing Blend with Herbs)  contains herbs “traditionally used to support digestive function.*”  The ingredient label for this blend follows:

I think I counted 32 ingredients in their proprietary blend, although I could have easily miscounted since it’s not exactly reader friendly.   You’ll also see that the blend total was 640 mg.

The second blend (Cleansing Blend with Fibers) includes “a variety of fiber sources and complementary herbs to support colon detoxification and help promote 2-3 bowel movements per day.* It is designed to promote healthy digestion and elimination.*”   Here’s the ingredient label for this blend:

This proprietary blend contains 557 mg and, not surprisingly, contains mostly fibers designed to clean the colon.

*In case you’re wondering what the asterisks (*) are for, they simply reference the standard disclosure that’s commonly used with natural supplements such as this.  For your reading enjoyment, it reads as follows:

“*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

Is It Effective?

Many of the ingredients in Ultimate Cleanse are commonly used ingredients in colon cleansers.  This is a good thing since these are usually the ingredients that have been proven to do what they are designed to do.

During my research of Ultimate Cleanse, the general satisfaction rates that customers gave it were pretty positive.  Many reported that it performed as they expected.

The Company Behind Ultimate Cleanse

The company that’s behind Ultimate Cleanse is one called Nature’s Secret.  In addition to Ultimate Cleanse, Nature’s Secret also provides a number of other “natural” supplements in the cleansing and detoxification niche.

The Better Business Bureau is always a great source for checking on the reputation of the company behind these kinds of products.  What did they have to say?

Well, there were a few records that pulled up under Nature’s Secret, but only 2 of them with the same address.  One report was for “Nature’s Secret” and the other was for “Nature’s Secret aka Irwin Naturals, Inc.”  First let’s look at the first report:

I was somewhat surprised to see a C rating.  While this certainly isn’t an incredibly poor rating, I was expecting something a little higher just based on my first impression of the company.

However, don’t get your feathers all ruffled up just yet.  Thankfully, the BBB suplies some good details about it’s report.  You’ll be happy to see that they only had 1 complaint filed against them in the last 36 months.  For a company that’s actually been around a while, this is extremely low and is a good sign.  Here’s a screenshot of the complaints:

My concerns about the company were even more put to rest when I saw the BBB’s report for Irwin Naturals, Inc. (I’m assuming that it’s a parent company of Nature’s Secret):

As you can see, they received an A rating and only had 2 complaints (both of which were resolved by making a full refund).

So given the low number of complaints and the ratings given by the BBB, I’d say it’s pretty safe to say that this is a reputable company that isn’t out to scam you like many of the others on the market.

Ultimate Cleanse’s Marketing

The Nature’s Secret website appears to be professionally done and actually supplies a good deal of information.  Unlike many of the one page websites that many colon cleansers (usually scams) put out there, the Ultimate Cleanse site provides info on their ingredients, colon cleansing, health tips, and more.

Their sales copy is also somewhat refreshing.  Instead of promising that I’ll 40 lbs and get my six pack back in a week, they use straight forward marketing to promote their products.

But Should I Worry About the Free Trial?!

If you’ve read very many of my reviews, you will have noticed that in most cases where a free trial is offered, it’s to sneakily get you into their autoship scam.  Well Ultimate Cleanse offers a free trial as well.  Are they doing the same scam?

While I too was skeptical at first, I’m pretty sure that you don’t have anything to worry about in this particular case.

I searched their site and wasn’t able to find any fine print about an autoship or them automatically charging you for anything after you’ve ordered the trial (I actually couldn’t find any terms and conditions anywhere - interesting).

Given that the BBB had very few complaints about them and the fact that I didn’t see any complaints about the company on any online complaint boards, I’m going to assume that this is a legitimate free trial.  If people have been getting scammed, it’d be pretty easy to find some evidence of it.

The Wellness Kit and Wellness Club

With your free trial, you also get a “Wellness Kit.”  This kit contains 2 CDs that are titled “How to Live Longer and Feel Better” (volume I & II).  These sound like your typical seminar type audios.  You also receive over $50 in coupons. All in all, the wellness kit isn’t anything special.  If it’s free, why not.  But I certainly don’t think it’s much to get excited about.

Another option that you have when visiting their site is to enroll in their “Wellness Club.”  This basically boils down to you having access to health related articles that they’ve written, “special” discounts, etc.  It’s free, so if you don’t mind getting a few new emails in your inbox, it might be a good resource.

Ultimate Cleanse’s Relatively Low Price

I was able to find Ultimate Cleanse for sale online anywhere from $15 to $30.  If the product is as effective as it claims to be, this is pretty good price.  While the product may not be as extensive as some other cleansing systems, it’s probably a pretty good bang the buck.

No Guarantee?

One thing that I would like to see from Nature’s Secret is a money back guarantee.  I’m not extremely surprised to not see one since company that sell mostly through retail stores are more likely to not offer a guarantee, but the lack of guarantee is definitely big negative.  Especially when other companies have guarantees for up to a whole year.

Conclusion

All things considered, I’d give a slight to moderate recommendation for Ultimate Cleanse by Nature’s Secret.  The product has received good feedback from customers and the ingredients look to be effective.  I didn’t see any big red flags with the company behind Ultimate Cleanse so I’m not sending out a scam warning on this one.

The price is low, but I’d also like to see a money back guarantee.  So if your budget is low and you don’t mind not having the reassurance of a guarantee, Ultimate Cleanse may be a good option for you.
