Count me out on the ToxOut

Got two sachets of ToxOut Fiber Detoxification powder in the mail this week, thanks to sample2you.com. It even came with both a pamphlet and an order form if you're so inclined to get more of the stuff.

The ToxOut formula supposedly consists of apple pectin, oligosaccharide, oil palm trunk dietary fibre (eep), spirulina and other ingredients - components that one typically hears when it comes to digestion aid.

I like how you take this is dependent on your body size (taken from the website)...WTF

For those who are obese: for the first 7 days, take 1 sachet every morning (at least 15 minutes before breakfast) and at night (at least 3 hours after dinner or before sleep). Please refer methods of preparation at the packaging.

For those who have ideal body weight: start with 1 sachet a day before sleep and observe the reactions on the following day. If the bowel movement improves, continue with 1 sachet a day before sleep; if there is no reaction after 3 consecutive days, then try to consume 1 sachet in the morning (15 minutes before breakfast) and 1 sachet at night before sleep. Try for 10 consecutive days , if there are improvements, then back to normal consumption of 1 sachet a day before sleep. Please refer methods of preparation at the packaging.

Children below 7 years old are not encouraged to consume ToxOut. Children between 7 to 12 years old may consume ToxOut according to their body conditions. Those with serious defecation problem may consume ToxOut, but not exceeding 1sachet a day. Children above 13 years old may consume ToxOut daily but not exceeding 2 sachets a day.

Decided to try one sachet a bit too late after dinner and pretty late at night. Even though the instructions call for mixing in the entire contents of the sachet into 180ml of drinking water, I decided to pour it into some OJ and shook the contents (as instructed) and the entire thing turned GREEN. Much as I still hate the taste of wheatgrass shots (that I take when I feel like I've not taken enough greens), but this is worse (for me). And I had to have an OJ chaser to clear the taste out of my mouth, it was that gross.

Even the detox tea tasted better than this.

Finally emptied myself after exactly 12 hours (well, it's either one end or the other, right?) and I don't know if I feel clean enough. But it solved the constipation.

Conclusion: Not likely to have this ever again - gave the other packet to the sibling.
