Today I decided to review Colotox because it seems to be gaining in popularity as well as having a seemingly higher advertising budget. It first glance, it looks like many other colon cleansing product, but when I started to look deeper into the company behind the product, I started to see some red flags. This brief version of my full Colotox review will hopefully give you some insight into what one can expect when purchasing from Colotox.

Colotox, as a product, appears to be your average colon cleanser. Naturally it includes quite a few fiber-based ingredients and some others. I imagine that the product is no better than other alternatives out there, but the ingredients do look ok.

Colotox seems to have followed the poor example of many other colon cleansing products by engaging in a sales practice known as an autoship. Autoships themselves aren’t necessarily bad, but it’s the way the companies use them that can quickly turn them into a scam. Colotox’s autoship goes like this: if you get the free trial, you have 14 days to call and cancel the autoship program. If you don’t, they will charge you $38.95 every month and start mailing you monthly supplies. Doesn’t sound so bad right? Well it wouldn’t be if they were upfront about people enrolling in the program. Instead, they hide in the fine print of their terms and conditions where most people won’t even read it. Imagine their surprise as they start to see charges that they didn’t know where going to hit their credit card. Or you can search some of the complaint boards online if you don’t want to image, there are plenty of angry customers detailing their experience.

It was even more alerted when I saw their return policy. It appears that you are charged a 15% restocking fee for all returned items. And according to some of the complaint boards on the internet, there have been quite a few that have had a hard time even contacting the company to request a refund.

Now, it wasn’t easy but after a lot of searching I was able to find the company behind Colotox: Central Coast Nutraceuticals Inc. To make a long story short, the Better Business Bureau gave them an ‘F’ rating. And aparently for good reason. I also found a complaint filed against them through the Arizona Attorney General’s office for using deceptive and misleading sales practices. Needless to say, it’s not looking good for Colotox.

By now, I don’t think that it’s any mystery what my overall thoughts are concerning Colotox. The ingredient profile may be ok, but their business practices certainly are not. If you’re looking at buying a colon cleanser, you’d be wise to steer clear of Colotox; there are plenty of other reputable companies to buy from.
