Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program —

I am buying into the Herbalife life while doing a 12-week weight loss program. They are the sponsors. I bought the Tea and like it a lot.

Another product I bought is the Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program. This is not the first cleanse I have done. I guess in general they don't work all that well for me.

What is Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program

For about $27.00 I got two bottles. One is for the morning and one is for the evening. The products are herbal blends which I like rather than a bunch of chemicals. The morning formula is called the Replenishing Formula and the evening one is called the Cleansing Formula. Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program is called "An internal cleansing system for digestive health."

According to the box the benefits are to helps the body eliminate toxins; to improve nutrient absorption, and it may support weight management. Of course none of these statements nor the product is monitored by the FDA.

I do believe that cleaning out my digestive tract regularly can help remove toxins from inside me. Although I have lost a few pounds it is not because of Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program. It is about counting calories. Still getting rid of toxins is a good thing. I like that it is gentle versus Alli.

According to the website http://www.herbalife.com/ Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program the cleanse gives me

Apple and lemon pectin provide fiber for gentle cleansing.

Herbs and bioflavonoids, including quercetin, support healthy colon function.

Probiotics, including lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus sporogenes, encourage a healthy intestinal flora.

Herbal blend includes black walnut, slippery elm, fenugreek and peppermint, known for their cleansing and digestion-supporting properties.

An exclusive enzyme blend supports healthy digestion.

Ideally, use quarterly,or when beginning a weight-management program.

My Experiences

We all have wellness coaches at our Herbalife weight loss program. Mine suggested that I take up to 3 at night and 1 in the morning. She said I could take 4 at night. The dosage is actually two tablets in the morning and one or more at night with water.

The pills are large and have an unpleasant taste.

It took at least a week or so and taking 3 at night before Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program kicked in at all. What will happen is that like me I ran out of the pm pills before the am pills. My coach said just to take the am when I finish the pm.

Unlike Alli there are no messy side effects and you don't have to make sure you are next to a bathroom. Still I found it too gentle and after just about finishing the Herbalife 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program I don't feel cleansed.

Hi again! Well, it is a combo of dietary changes (can do perm or temporary) and addition of anti fungal herbs. Olive leaf extract, Caprylic Acid (coconut derived), Pau D'Arco, Oreganol oil (P73 is best and safest), and then taking Dr Ohhira's probiotic- specifically because it is one of the only ones I have used in many years that actually WORKS WONDERS. The idea is to starve out yeast and fungi that might have gotten a foothold through the use of antibiotics through life, and other ways of feeding them over the years.

By starving them out, the weight loss comes off pretty easily, yet you are not hungry so YOU are not starving- very important. HAHA

The most fascinating information is on www.knowthecause.com It has a lot of info, but I have been studying it for a long time now and this is a huge breakthrough. I am rarely sick, but through the high stress this fall, I got hit HARD with the flu that would not break no matter what I did. Then I remembered the most powerful antifungal- cleansing herb- Chaparal (sp?) I did a gentle cleanse by making a tea for 21 days - it is a special way of doing it and not only did I get over the flu in a few days (I was hit VERY VERY hard and it would not let go before that), I lost weight over the 21 days.

That happens to many who do it. The best place for that info is Ten Essential Herbs by Lalitha Thomas. So many books and methods of stuff are fads and such but those two sources have been huge breakthroughs for me and many I personally know- the site and the book.

The idea of the book is that anywhere you go on earth you can use it to help yourself if hit hard with something. I have used it constantly over the years and had unbelievable results every time!

Probably too much information but in case you did not notice, I enjoy talking about this kind of stuff. HAHA.

Great to talk with you- I always love knowing you are here at Viewpoints. You are such fun to hang with.

Hi, nice to see you:) What is an antifungal cleanse? Hugs and happy holidays. J

I am glad to hear that my suspicions were correct. I find that an antifungal cleanse is far more effective than any of the other packaged things. Glad I got a chance to read your review! :)
