[Review] TruDtox - Natural Herbal Cleansing

I had been consuming TruDtox 2 times a week to cleanse my body. Let me share with you the experience I had when I just started to try it. But before that, let me briefly introduce the product.

TruDtox™ is a Swiss natural and organic botanical tea that WORKS GENTLY to cleanse and help strengthen our body’s own natural detox organs. It is made of 100% organically-cultivated herbs, flora and teas that are traditionally known to help our body detoxify. TruDtox™ does not contain harsh laxatives and as such, will not create bowel dependency.

Being a health-conscious person, I have high alert on things that enter from my mouth. I bet you would not want to consume anything that give you side effect that damage your body in the long run.

Let me quickly let you know how I prepare my TruDtox:
