Colon xR, as a product, is much like many other colon cleansing products on the market (despite their claims that it is a “new” and “advanced” formula. Colon xR, as a company on the other hand, appears to only be like the other scam artists in the marketplace. This Colon xR review will try to give you quick look at what you can expect when buying from Colon xR.
As already mentioned, Colon xR claims that they have some advanced formula in their colon cleansing product. But the supplement facts revealed a rather ordinary combination of high fiber-based ingredients. Don’t get me wrong, the ingredient profile looked good and is likely to be effective, but it’s certainly nothing like what Colon xR makes you try to think it is.
The rest of this review will be centered on the company behind Colon xR (SFL Nutrition, LLC) because I’ve found a number of things that should be cause for concern for some people. Naturally, I went to the Better Business Bureau to see what they had to say. They gave them an F rating. SFL Nutrition had a total of 3,003 complaints that went unanswered (out of only 3,502). The fact that the vast majority of the complaints filed with the BBB against the company weren’t even answered is a huge red flag. Obviously, there’s something fishy going on. The next section is a likely explanation of why we are seeing such results.
When you first get on the Colon xR website, you are offered a free trial of the product. I’ve seen quite a few of these before, so I knew what to look for. I went straight for the fine print and found (explained in the terms and conditions) that by accepting the free trial, you are automatically enrolled in their autoship program in which they will mail you more product each month and automatically charge your credit card for it ($78.84). Convenient? Well it would be if the consumer knew about it. But unfortunately, most people wont read the fine print and will totally surprised when the unexpected charges hit. You have only 15 days to call and cancel before you’ll start seeing charges.
As far as their customer service goes, It also seems that Colon xR is giving people the run around (or just not answering the phone) when people try to call and cancel. At least that’s what the online complaint boards are saying. But with the BBB’s report of unanswered complaints, I think those complaint boards are likely right on. Looks like a classic autoship scam to me.
To wrap it up, don’t waste your time or money on Colon xR. While the actual product seems to be as effective as any other, the shady business practices used by the company to scam people out of their money is just horrible.
