I participated in a free trial offer through a web site offering a $200 gift card. Obviously, I didn't read the disclaimer well enough or I would not have ordered this product. It makes it sound as though you get the product for $4.95 as a trial for 30 days. In fact, it is a trial for 15 days from the time the order is placed. Further they advertise that this product promotes a healthy colon when, in fact, my physician has directed me to not use any product which contains cascara sagrada and that it may in fact lead to colon cancer. I have not even opened this product to use it. It actually blackens the interior of the bowel and I have a colonoscopy from a very few years ago when I was actually using cascara sagrada related to slow bowel syndrome.
