Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox, 12 Day Kit

I tried Wild Rose, based on word of mouth, and having known about this detox for quite a few years now.

I started on a Monday, and the day before, I meal prepped my breakfast, lunch and dinner , to make it easier to commit to the approved food items, and eat on a schedule.

With this goal-orientated mind-set, I became motivated to work out (something I had not done in a few years!) - however I stopped once the cleanse was done.

The pills were a bit much to take. By day 5, I was fed up with the routine and counted down the days until it would be over.

I did have regular bowel movements (around 2 - 3 a day), as I typically experience constipation, but I would say it was more the food that was eliminated and the cleanse just supported my body in the process.

Overall, I don't know what I was expecting, and while it is good value, I wouldn't do this specific cleanse again.

I've done this cleanse a few times now, and each time I find it gets easier. Sticking with the diet restrictions for 12 days are what I struggle with most. The supplements do not taste good, but boy do they work! During the cleanse, I have multiple stool movements a day - loose and frequent in the beginning and more solid towards the end. I also suffer from headaches, brain fog, nausea and lack energy for the first few days - but they eventually wear off and in the end I feel awesome - less bloating, better concentration, and much more energy.

There is also a wild rose detox group on facebook that offers awesome support as well as scheduled guided cleanses a few times a year - definitely check it out if you are thinking about doing this cleanse.

And last but not least - a huge rave to Vitamart. Awesome prices, great customer service, fast shipping.

This cleasne is marketed as "easy", Ive done it 6 times now and have yet to actually keep to it the full 12 days so the food restrictions to me are quite a challenge to stick within. However each time I do the cleanse I learn better eating habits and am slowly getting better at it. It dramatically increases my awareness of all the toxins in my normal diet. Throughout the cleanse, I tend fall asleep rapidly and early, deal with headaches, gas, brain fog, reduced energy, fever, loose stool and some flu like symptoms but by the end i generally feel signifgantly better which is why despite the difficulty of the food restrictions I've challenged myself with this cleasne repeatedly. One day I'll get through the entire 12 days.

I have used the Wild Rose Detox kit now for the last 15+ years. I experience a boost in energy, sleep better, my skin clears up and a rash on the back of my arms actually disappeared after my first detox. The best part is that after about 2-3 days I no longer experienced the mid-afternoon slump in energy where i'd normally reach for a coffee and sweet to boost me up. Yay!

Great value, gentle on the system and works really well. It's a great way to kick off a better way of eating as you eliminate dairy, sugar and flour.
