   Please do not do either. There is absolutely no benefit in either over hyped dubious product. Colon cleanse by any method is best avoided.
   The colon is completely self cleansing so called colon cleanserscan cause diarrhoea vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps. It can cause a dangerous loss of water and electrolytes, which can lead to dehydration and even abnormal heart rhythms.
   When it comes to colon cleansing and weight loss, without solid evidence that colon cleansing is a safe and effective way to lose weight, why risk messing with your colon?

   Catherine Collins, chief dietician at St George’s Hospital in southwest London, said she saw dozens of patients suffering side-effects ranging from bowel problems to potassium depletion. “There is a fixation with the notion that we can detoxify the body through what we eat and drink, but the whole idea has no scientific basis,” said Dr Collins.

   As for that wretched berry, it does not aid weight loss. There have been posts on here grumbling about losing money but not weight.
   There are more antioxidants in other fruits eg blueberries.
   Antioxidants are good but do not aid weight loss.
   Type in acai and scam.

   i know a lot about colon cleansing and a little about acai berry. i know that if you colon cleanse, it will get the toxins out of your system that hold you back in a way. once you’re squeaky clean on the inside then your body starts working how it was meant to.. after just 5 days of a 15 day colon cleanse i was eating half as much as i used to and i was craving foods that were good for you instead of the fast food junk i used to LOVE. you have to teach your body about what it really needs. right now it thinks that all the junk is what it needs to thrive. if you clean everything up and start with a new slate then all the food we were meant to live off of will be satisfying. the sugar in fruits will be enough to keep you going without coffee. the sodium in veggies will curb the craving for chips and fries.. so on and so forth.

   be careful about mixing though. a colon cleanse might be enough to jump start you. acai berry is a new trend and im not sure i trust the claims just yet. as long as all the ingredients in the supplements you get are natural ingredients found in nature then you should be fine. worse case scenario if the products are natural is you might spend a lot of extra time in the bathroom..
