Since Colotox seems to becoming more popular (or at least it has been more heavily marketed lately) I figured it was time for me to do a review. The results were less than stellar for Colotox as you'll soon find out. The product seems ok, but where it gets really ugly is when I looked into the company behind 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.
Where the review started to go downhill is when I saw the first signs of a sneaky autoship program. If you sign up for the free trial (which is the only option they give you if you want the product) then you are automatically enrolled in the autoship. This means that you have 14 days to call and cancel the program or you will start being charged $38.95 per month as new product is shipped to you every month. What? You didn't notice that you agreed to that? Well it's in the fine print of the terms and conditions that they're counting on you not reading. I've seen this scam many times now and am amazed at how pitiful of a marketing tactic this is. Shame on Colotox.
In addition to having a shady autoship program, if you are able to ever return your product (more on that later) they charge you a 15% restocking fee. It's already not looking good for Colotox. They have definitely created their policies to be favorable to one and only one person...themselves.
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. - 15683
