I had to pay 100.00 for this product because my insurance wouldn't cover it. It did not taste like a nice glass of wine, or a peach lemonade, but I drank it because I had to. After my procidure was done and got pictures from my doctor, I was so proud of myself. My colon looked so nice and clean! I could't stop showing the pictures to my family.

This was my 5th colonoscopy. Unfortunately, I missed reading the instruction to only eat liquids on Tuesday, the day prior to the colonoscopy. My last meal was a light lunch at about 1pm.
