 Do Your Research First! (Unless you want to be running to the bathroom) Aug 30, 2010
By D. tran
"tyloneo"
I took this product because my sister had an extra bottle and said it made her feel "clean." First, let me say that this actually does "cleanse" your system. I found myself running to the bathroom several times. After my bathroom adventures I decided to research the ingredients in these magic pills. If you look on the back of the label more than half of each pill includes a "cleansing support blend." This blend includes cascara sagrada powder and slippery elm powder. These are both LAXATIVES that people use when they are constipated.
As far as the "acai" part of this is concerned, it's really just a marketing gimmick. The manufacturers of the product are exploiting the American public's lack of knowledge on the berry. In reality it's actually a tasty fruit that is healthy for you when eaten fresh. However, it is not a magic berry with endless amounts of antioxidants and weight loss properties. The FTC is suing several manufactures for making such spurious claims (Wall Street Journal) and blueberries, blackberries and pomegranates all have more antioxidants than acai. In fact the "acai cleanse blend" listed on the bottle is actually a mix of various different extracts that include many of these same fruits.
I suspect some of the reviews on here to be fake reviews as the extremely positive ones reporting weight loss have no other reviews on their record. Unless you are constipated, I can't recommend this product for you. Even then, you should probably consult with your doctor first before taking a laxative because they can be dangerous when not taken properly. I hope this review has been helpful to you and remember to do your research BEFORE putting anything in your body! I know I've learned my lesson.

 Finally A Product that Works Dec 22, 2009
By Stacey G. Payton
"Nikki"
I have tried the product a couple of times with several months of a break in between. This is my third try with the fat burner. Before, I was using it to relieve constipation and bloating. Now I'm using it to help with my weight loss. I need to lose 20 lbs. This is my third or fourth day, and I feel amazing. My stomach is going down. I have multiple bowel movements with no cramping or straining. For lunch today, I made my favorite club sandwich and could only eat 1/2 of it. I have noticed the past couple of days, my appetite has decreased. I have even lost a taste for dark colored drinks, including sweet tea. And I have always avowed never to give up my sweet tea. I'm loosing my taste for it. I have switched over to sparkling green tea by Lipton. I have read all about the discouraging news about ACAI, but for me, I've decided to not listen, but to use what is working for me. If you are researching a product to help you in your struggles to lose weight or deal with constipation, this is the answer. I struggle with both, and it works. It's better than the $40 bottle of colon cleanse I got from GNC.

 working well for me Jan 15, 2010
By B. Kollenborn
I bought the 10 day version of this in a two pack at my local Costco. So far it is working well for me. I feel lighter, my jeans are fitting a little better around my waist and I have noticed a decrease in my appetite. It does promote addition bowel movements, definately more than normal so it must have been stored otherwise? My only complaint is there has been some cramping and gassy feelings. I also have had to urinate more which has been waking me up at night. But overall the results are pretty good considering the cost. I would not say it is a weight loss too, but the cleansing has some of the same positive effects as weight loss.

REALLY??!? Sep 11, 2010
By Eve
I walked into CVS to purchase a cleanse, without doing any research I picked up this product. After purchasing it I decided to research and find reviews about the 14-day Acai Berry Cleanse. After reading some (okay all) of the reviews I decided to give it a try. After all it was supposed to be a mild laxative to clean out your system.
I was working out, drinking all the rivers known to man, just to ensure that this cleanse worked. I didn't purchase it to lose weight but to cleanse. Nothing happened the first or second day, but on the third day my stomach was cramping so bad, I knew I would have to reduce the required four pills a day. In between my trips to the bathroom I realize that my stool was accompanied with a lot of blood. I thought that perhaps this was a onetime deal, but throughout the day I continued to see the same thing. At this point in time I began to worry. I finally decided to research the ingredients in this cleanse. I found that Cascara Sagrada powder can cause bloody stool.
I couldn't believe it, something I was taking to cleanse out my digestive system was causing my body more harm than good. I advise that whoever takes this cleanse do your research and seriously consider the side effects. I now sit her with a sore behind afraid to go to the bathroom for fear that I will continue to see blood in my stool.

it simply delivers Sep 30, 2009
By M. Spires
"Miss Jade"
I first purchased Acai Berry 14-day Cleanse at our nearby Sam's Club. My husband and i liked it so much and went back to get more only to find it's no longer available. The original distributor stopped selling it, too. This product produces multiple bowel movements everyday it's taken. I felt really clean inside and i thought i was pretty regular! It's gentle--no cramping, no bloating, no gas, and no foul smell. What i like the best is that my stomach is considerably flatter even after 2 days. I never want to go a day w/out this cleanse but per instruction you have to take a break after 2 weeks (otherwise i'd rate it 5 stars).
