Thanks, was extra funny to see an ad for this while watching an Ann Reardon video where she was debunking other myths. I knew most of this as a general idea but having a rundown that's more specific and detailed is very useful.

I like this because it's incredibly sourced. Great post - sick of ads that make me research reasons to disprove them. But glad they are around in order to redundantly save people from buying into them.

Ugh, love this. It's actually insane how many people buy into this marketing. Thanks for debunking

I bought some and I really didn’t think it will work..... Well it work too well. Had me on the toilet praying for it to get out of my system. Felt really good after. Everyone nowadays is a internet doctor and give advice against products they never used. Personally its up to your preference. Of course zupoo alone will not make you loose weight but proper diet and exercise will. Will I buy the product again in the future? Yes, I don’t like how Milk of Magnesium make the BM all “runny” lol. Zupoo gives you a more solid explosive BM. Sorry had to describe it to the best of my ability. I hope this helps.

It's a grift.

2 table spoons of Epsom Salt in water... pinch your nose, down it, chug something sweet, drink water all day. You'll break open any internal dam.

Why would I try it when I can buy # Sugarless Haribo Gummy Bear They do the same thing Check out the reviews ## 1. From a review titled: "Just don't. Unless it's a gift for someone you hate." >"What came out of me felt like someone tried to funnel Niagara Falls through a coffee straw. I swear my sphincters were screaming. It felt like my delicate starfish was a gaping maw projectile vomiting a torrential flood of toxic waste. 100% liquid. Flammable liquid. NAPALM." ## 2. From a review titled: "Be sure to buy Oxyclean too!" >"Be sure to also buy a tub of Oxyclean with this to get the blood and diarrhea stains out of your underwear, clothes, furniture, pets, loved ones, ceiling fans." ## 3. From a review titled: "Yup - Believe the hype!" >"I saw the product reviews and told some coworkers, so we bought a bag (because who doesn't want to spend the workday on the toilet AND get paid, right??). Brought them in yesterday morning and a bunch of the guys immediately downed a handful each. Within half an hour they were in the bathroom. Best moment of the day was when one of them (who had been in the bathroom for half an hour by that point) texted one of the others. 'If you think it's a fart....it's NOT.' hahhaaaaaa" ## 4. From a review titled: "It's. All. True." >"OMG. Everything previously written is true. It's all true. Don't eat more than 15 in a sitting unless you are trying to power wash your intestines." ## 5. From a review titled: "Fully weaponized Gummy Bears" >"The cramping started about an hour later, and soon enough I was as bloated as a balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. When the rumbling started I sprinted down the hallway and made it to the bathroom just in time for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to stampede from my backside, laying waste to my home's septic system AND my will to live. After three hours of a pelvis-shaking Gummy Bear assault, I was spongy and weak, surprised that I had any bones left. I cursed Haribo with the little strength I could muster." ## 6. From a review titled: "AWESOME and EXPLOSIVE!!" >"The explosive gas let loose and to an explosive shart!!! 1 mile from home on my walk and it was a long 1 mile back and I had a mess!! Fortunately for compression shorts it didn't run down my legs!! Now I had to hold the gas for fear of blowing my entire intestines out into my shorts!! I made it home and what happened then was like something out of Dante's Inferno!!! My butt became an upside down volcano!! Best to stock up on toilet paper and toilet bowl cleaner as you will totally spray the bowl and back of the seat!! I would no sooner get done and have to go again. When you get the urge to "go" you best be in proximity of toilet!!! I spent hours on the toilet." ## 7. From a review titled: "You dont understand." >"I was glued to the toilet seat. Streams of fire burst from my colon. When i wasnt experiencing Satans fury exploding from my rear, i was laying in the fetal position on my bathroom floor, sobbing and asking for forgiveness. Im a 280 pound man. I. Was. Sobbing. When it was finally over, i couldnt move. I crawled onto the floor one last time and sat, motionless, until my dehydration finally required that i drink water. The other reviews are perfectly accurate. This is absolutely, 100% true. Eat two at a time. Three if you're brave. But for the love of God and all things on this earth, DO NOT EAT ANY MORE." ## 8. From a review titled: "Excellent taste, in small portions." >"During one of the last of the 8 trips to the bathroom, I released such a large volume of gas that my external anal sphincter could not do it's job, and remained open/relaxed, while about 4.5-5 seconds of gas was expelled. I've never experienced, or even heard of that happening. It was so unnatural, that I had to check to feel if my colon had somehow passed through the anal sphincter muscle." ## 9. From a review titled: "Gastrointestinal Armageddon" >"After a few hours, I had an EXTREME build-up of gas with no relief. All I could do was lie on my bed and pray for a fart. That might sound funny, but when you've eaten something that has basically turned you into the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka, you're pleading for relief."

This stuff is the real deal!!!! Sometimes I go a week without going. I’ve struggled my whole life! I’m 41 and just started taking it and works it instantly!! Just take 2 before bed and wake up the next morning and “boom”! It has changed my life! No more bloating and constipation. I was skeptical because I’ve tried magnesium and every damn thing else. This is the real deal

Scam, scam, scam. Do some research with reputable sources regarding "colon cleanses", and how they provide nothing except a week of hell and the feeling that you've "purged" yourself. There are no lingering toxins in your body, there is no poop that's been building up in your colon for years. The body has all of the tools it needs to remove waste, and this is snake oil.

I started it Sunday night and it's Thursday night. If anything, I feel more constipated then I did before. Yes, I drink lots of water and have been taking the dose with a full glass of water. Maybe it's just my body, but I will not be spending another dollar on any type of colon cleanse supplement.

I lost a bunch of weight off of it, I think depending on the person this stuff legit makes you dump, I have a sensitive stomach so honestly after 1 day I was dumping non stop. Thank God I was WFH so it was easier, like I was going 7x a day and definitely lost weight, maybe it was water weight but it's gone so long as you retain that weight after doing the whole process. Worst day was when I was on the ski lift and it broke down midway, dear Lord nearly shat my pants.

Don't forget to drink plenty of water if you want this stuff to work. Or else it won't. Straight up.

I tried it. I'd say it's inconsistent. Some days I have more than one bowel movement (maybe up to three); others just a one. But it mostly causes gas and rumbling The 14 day dosage is kinda pricey in my opinion and I am not sure about any long term side effects. I'd say skip if you'd prefer more reliable and time-tested options.

Scam. Any product that markets itself on outright lies (my youtube is blasted with their "you have 20 lbs of toxic poop in your gut") is not worth your time. ​ There are lots of natural and legitimate ways to improve bowel function. Don't give your money to liars who might cause you real harm with dangerous chemical blends.

Metamucil gets the job done for me. Not a laxative but it turns everything into art.

Lol the day after I took it I instantly needed to poop . Like I haven’t pooped that much in a longggg time . I honestly think it is different for everyone regarding time to take effect. Or how ever your diet was . I was 3 weeks into keto btw . Just throwing that out there . But once this stuff hits you , it hits like a truck

I’m currently in the middle of the 15 day zupoo cleanse. I’ve noticed more pooping and i feel lighter and my stomach seems slightly flatter. I’ve heard some people need to do two bottle to see a dramatic effect.

I've been on it for about five days now. Nothing, I think it's probably bunk. I'll probably take it for a couple more days to see if something changes, but it's probably worthless.

a high fruit diet is hard to maintain for some people, myself included.

Im giving it a shot anyway. I eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables but still not as regular as I'd like. I haven't had a proper appetite in awhile and I'm wondering if this can remove excess poop that might be sticking around the colon, preventing me from having proper appetite, as well as nutrient absorption. I'll post an update after I've given it a shot. This could be effective as "helping push" to get things going if one has already been eating a proper amount of fiber and getting their macros and micros in check.

Dude wdjm had a good point. But alas, idk if it's legit or scam.

No but don't bother with them. Only a temporary relief. Sticking to a high fruit diet is the permanent one.

You could get a bottle of magnesium (I think citrate?) at cvs. That’s what a lot of people use prior to colonoscopies.

You can lose a large amount of weight using them, yes. HOWEVER, that weight loss comes from losing water and simply not digesting your food properly. First, your colon and kidneys naturally 'clean out the toxins' for you every time you pee or have a bowel movement. There is no 'build up'. (assuming fully functioning organs here) Second, your body regulates itself naturally so that you always have a bit of food in each part of your digestive tract (this keeps the system working properly). When you clean out your colon, the body pushes food along a bit faster because there's nothing there in front of it to slow it down. You end up not digesting your food all the way and not extracting all the nutrients from it. But then, you don't digest all the calories from it either, which could lead to weight loss - as long as you stick with it. But if you don't change your eating habits and go off the pills, you'll gain it right back. Third, (this is opinion) I can see it making you more alert, etc - ever notice that when you're slightly hungry, you're more alert? It's a biological trick, because if you're hungry, then you need to be more alert to catch/find food, right? So these pills KEEP your body slightly hungry - even if you just ate, you have 'gaps' in the digestive process that means food isn't regular. You body would interpret that as a 'starvation warning'. Which would also trigger your cells to store more fat when possible, completely defeating your goal. In short...interesting fad, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Most people confuse and interchange the words toxin and toxic and the treatment for poisoning by each varies greatly. Toxins are from biological origin and are generally dealt with by your own body through your immune system and are cleaned out if you have a liver and kidneys; if you are missing kidneys you should get dialysis. Toxic substances are very different, and the treatment for each is different. If you have acute lead poisoning you should see a doctor. If you have an acute aspirin overdose then you should see a doctor.

It's bullshit!

Eat more fiber, fewer calories, and walk more. Colon cleansing only accelerates the evacuation of what would be so anyways. Potential benefit? 0. Potential damage? >0. Cost benefit analysis? Not good. Don't do it.

I use psyllium seed husks. I can get a huge bottle from my local health food store for between $5-10. I put the husks in capsules myself using a little device I also bought at the health food store. The husks are indegistable in our bodies and when mixed with water they will expand. I do not use it regularly, only every few weeks. My motives for using psyllium seed husks are not to lose weight or detoxify myself. I use them because I do believe while traveling through my gut they do push out debris that may have gotten stuck to the walls, so to speak, especially in the colon where poop bits can accumulate. I also suffer from occasional bouts of hemorrhoids that are incredibly painful. Using the psyllium seed husk drastically reduces the pain of taking a crap while having hemorrhoids and decreases the length the hemorrhoids will last and the intensity of their pain. I can not leave out that I also enjoy the experience of taking it. You will have the biggest crap of your life after taking a large dose but it will come out like a breeze with no resistance. I view using psyllium seed husk as preventative maintenace for my intestines and colon and would recommend it to everyone. The wiki for it has good info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyllium_seed_husks

Ballerina Tea - cheap and effective.

Only one way to find out. When I take colon cleanse herbs I definitely see and smell the results. Whether this is dislodging old fecal material or simply rushing out digestive material I don't know. If you want to find some truly disturbing "things" in your stool try MMS (clo2). Most people are wormy, especially if they are vegans. Be sure to post your experience.

Yes, it's a scam. Fiber supplements alone will provide more benefit than any over marketed fad laxative.

If poop wasn’t supposed to be in your colon, your body wouldn’t put it there constantly every day of your whole life.

Doesn't work at all. Just gave me stomach pain and cramps.

I’m using it right now, day 3, no remarkable change. Already had a heathy solid diet except for drinking more alcohol than I’d like. I also shelled out the cash for Testro-X due to the provocative ads, similar non-results
