Its ingredients include special fibres Fructo-oligosaccarides (FOS) and Sugar Esters; and when taken it is not broken down by the bodys small intestine but goes directly into the colon where it takes action. It removes toxins from the body, cleanse colon, regulate bowel and protects against diseases such as cancer, arthritis, asthma and fibroids. It is also referred to as The Food Purifier as it protects the body from food additives. Immuno-gizer was patent in 2005 which gave it competitive advantage over the market; however the government forbids advertisement in 2008 stating that the product was not registered.
