Evercleanse is a colon-cleansing system designed to rid the body of toxins. The official Evercleanse website claims that the product leads to a healthier digestive system and weight loss. Unfortunately, the official website does not list all of the ingredients. The two patent numbers they list are either unavailable from the patent office or do not exist. The official website does list one key ingredient, and a few other ingredients; however, a comprehensive list is not available.
3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone (7-oxo-DHEA)
The key ingredient listed on the Evercleanse website is 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone, also known as 7-oxo-DHEA . A double-blind placebo controlled study reported in Current Therapeutic Research in 2000 indicated that 7-oxo-DHEA combined with moderate exercise and a reduced-calorie diet reduced body weight and body fat compared with exercise and a reduced-calorie diet alone, without adversely affecting thyroid function.
Indole-3-carbinol
Diet Spotlight, in a review of Evercleanse in 2010, reported that Evercleanse contains indole-3-carbinol. Indole-3-carbinol is naturally found in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage. It has activity as an antioxidant and anticancer properties by stimulating enzymes that metabolize carcinogens. It may reduce the risk of cervical and breast cancer by blocking estrogen receptor binding sites. It may reduce the risk of skin cancer, although it may promote prostate cancer formation. In addition, indole-3-carbonol may decrease lipid synthesis and platelet aggregation, improving heart health
Colostrum
Colostrum is the first milk produced in breast milk. Obtained from humans or bovines, colostrum contains a high level of carbohydrates, protein, and antibodies, but is low in fat. In Evercleanse, colostrum would appear to act as a mild laxative.
Soluble and Insoluble Fiber
Evercleanse appears to contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. The insoluble fiber comes in the form of flaxseed. The source of soluble fiber in Evercleanse is not specified. Neither soluble nor insoluble fibers are digested, nor are they absorbed into the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber moves bulk through the intestines and controls the acidity, promoting regular bowel movements. Soluble fibers bind fatty acids, prolonging stomach emptying time, slowing the release and absorption of sugar. Soluble fiber lowers total cholesterol and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
