ColonBroom GLP-1 Booster is a real over-the-counter supplement from a company with published terms. It is not a copy of Ozempic or Wegovy. The ‘GLP-1' name is the part to question: the one independent review that checked the dose found it sits well below what studies tested, and the seller says no clinical trial has been run on its other products. The more practical risks are auto-renewing plans and a narrow refund policy, both covered below.
Is ColonBroom GLP-1 a scam, or is it legit?
It is a real product that ships, with a named seller and written terms. This page does not call it a scam, because that label belongs to regulators and courts. What you can check for yourself is whether the claims match the label, whether the billing terms were clear when you paid, and whether the refund policy works for you.
The seller's terms name Max Nutrition UAB as the owner and seller of the goods. They say it manages subscriptions, payments, refunds and chargebacks, and that all claims about goods must go to that company. The terms list a Lithuanian registered address, and the seller's help pages give hello@colonbroom.com for support.
What is ColonBroom GLP-1 Booster, and what is in it?
The seller markets it as ‘a natural GLP-1 supplement designed to support appetite control, reduce cravings, and promote metabolic health without prescriptions.' GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after meals. Prescription drugs such as semaglutide act on the same pathway directly. This supplement only claims to nudge your own production.
The seller's product page lists four ingredients: berberine, zinc, Polygonum cuspidatum extract and quercetin dihydrate. Here is what the seller says each does, next to what independent reviewer YourHealthier reports. YourHealthier sells its own supplements, so weigh its comparisons with that in mind.
| Ingredient | Seller says | Independent review says |
|---|---|---|
| Berberine | Activates GLP-1 pathways, helps regulate blood sugar, supports weight management | 200 mg per serving. Raises GLP-1 in cell and animal studies. Human trials of blood sugar and weight used 500 to 1,500 mg a day. |
| Zinc | Supports metabolic efficiency and immunity | 15 mg, below the 40 mg daily adult upper limit it cites. Trials found lower fasting glucose. |
| Polygonum cuspidatum extract | Antioxidants, balanced blood sugar | A knotweed source of resveratrol. How much actual resveratrol a serving holds is unclear. |
| Quercetin dihydrate | Cell protection, metabolism support | A nine-trial meta-analysis found no overall change in fasting glucose or HbA1c. Only high doses over 8+ weeks showed an effect. The amount here is unclear. |
The formula descriptions do not agree. YourHealthier says September 2026 press releases describe a different five-ingredient version: berberine, chromium picolinate, 5-HTP, saffron extract and bupleurum root. A review on Athletic Insight describes a psyllium fiber powder with L-carnitine, Capsimax and vitamin B6, sold with a scoop. That does not match the seller's own capsule listing. Athletic Insight sells a competing colon cleanse and uses affiliate links. Check the Supplement Facts panel on the bottle you receive, and ask support for the exact label before you order.
Does ColonBroom GLP-1 really work for weight loss?
The evidence in hand says it is unlikely to produce large weight loss. YourHealthier summarizes a 2020 meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials. Berberine cut body weight by about 2.07 kg more than control, in trials using several times the berberine in a ColonBroom serving. It also reports that no published trial exists on this product and that no human study has measured how much GLP-1 rises after a 200 mg dose. To read how far animal and cell findings carry over to people, see this guide to emerging research and preliminary findings. For how pooled trials like that meta-analysis work, see meta-analyses and systematic reviews.
For scale, YourHealthier cites trial results for prescription drugs: semaglutide 2.4 mg gave 14.9% average weight loss at 68 weeks, and tirzepatide up to 20.9% at 72 weeks. The two are different categories of product. The seller's own disclaimer says its statements ‘have not been evaluated by the FDA' and that a calorie-restricted diet with more fiber ‘may promote weight loss.'
The seller's homepage says ‘83% lost weight within 10 weeks,' and then says that figure comes from a self-reported survey of ColonBroom Premium, and that ‘no clinical trials have been conducted on other ColonBroom products.' The homepage still labels the Premium product ‘clinically proven.' The GLP-1 Booster is a different product from Premium.
How do you take it, and when?
The seller's pages disagree. The product page says ‘Take 1 pill 30 minutes before eating.' The seller's FAQ says to take it ‘with your breakfast or lunch for optimal absorption and to minimize any potential digestive discomfort.' YourHealthier says ColonBroom's instructions are two capsules about 30 minutes before your largest meal, in a 60-capsule bottle. The product page lists 30 servings per bottle. Follow the label on your bottle, and ask support to confirm if it conflicts with the page. If you take prescription medication, ask your pharmacist about timing.
How long does it take to work, and what results should you expect?
The seller says you may notice reduced cravings and better energy ‘within the first 1-2 weeks,' and elsewhere ‘within a few days to 2 weeks,' with visible weight loss building ‘gradually.' YourHealthier says reviewers who liked it describe fewer afternoon cravings after two to four weeks, few describe large weight changes, and some noticed nothing after a full bottle. The berberine trials it cites ran 8 to 12 weeks or longer, so one 30-day bottle is a short test.
What are the side effects and who should skip it?
The seller says to avoid it with mood disorders, liver or kidney disease, or pregnancy and breastfeeding, and to consult a healthcare provider first. It also says stopping ‘won't cause any side effects.'
| Issue | What is reported |
|---|---|
| Stomach upset | Nausea, cramping, gas, constipation or loose stools. These are the usual berberine complaints and are dose-related (YourHealthier). |
| Zinc on an empty stomach | Can cause nausea (YourHealthier). |
| Low blood sugar | Possible for people already taking insulin, sulfonylureas, metformin or GLP-1 drugs (YourHealthier). |
| Drug interactions | In a human study, two weeks of berberine reduced activity of liver enzymes that clear many medications, and a test drug's blood level rose about 40%. That study used more berberine than a ColonBroom serving. Statins, blood thinners, some antidepressants and transplant drugs are the groups it flags. |
| Heart rhythm, surgery | YourHealthier says ColonBroom's own blog flags heart rhythm conditions and suggests stopping two weeks before surgery. |
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take any prescription drug or have a medical condition. That includes a GLP-1 prescription.
What do the reviews say? Is Trustpilot reliable here?
The seller's pages show review counts that vary: 12,300 reviews on the GLP-1 product page and 9.9k on another capture of the seller's site. Seller-page testimonials include ‘I've lost 12 lbs in just 4 weeks' (Serena B., 34). The same reviewer ‘Patricia S.' appears as 32 on one seller page and 42 on another. The FTC's endorsement guidance says unrepresentative testimonials may mislead unless the ad says what consumers can generally expect.
Athletic Insight puts the brand's Trustpilot rating at 3.7 of 5 over more than 2,500 reviews, with 48% five-star, and says the brand's Better Business Bureau rating is D-, driven mostly by subscription billing complaints. YourHealthier says 3.8 from about 3,000 reviews, mostly about the fiber drink rather than this capsule. Both mention billing and cancellation friction as the recurring complaint. Read the most recent one-star reviews on the live Trustpilot page before you order.
How much does it cost, and does it auto-renew?
Prices as of October 1, 2026; check the checkout for today's. The seller's GLP-1 product page shows these plans, with a ‘Subscribe SAVE 70%' toggle beside ‘One-time purchase.' The delivery lines indicate recurring shipments, so confirm which option is selected before paying.
| Plan | Price per bottle shown | Servings | Delivery listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bottle | $49.99 (crossed-out $85.99, ‘save 42%') | 30 | Monthly |
| 3 bottles | $34.74 (‘save 60%') | 90 | Every 3 months |
| 6 bottles | $25.83 (‘save 70%') | 180 | Every 6 months |
Shipping to the US is listed as free, with delivery in 3 to 8 business days. Pay-on-delivery is not accepted. The ‘secret gift' and bonus gift offers are described only vaguely. Two sale banners appear: ‘Autumn sale up to 70% off' on one address and ‘Black Friday sale up to 70% off' with a countdown clock on another. Treat countdown timers as pressure, not as a deadline.
Auto-renewal and cancellation terms
- The seller's terms say subscriptions renew automatically for a period equal to the last one, and payment is taken from your saved method.
- To stop a renewal, cancel at least 48 hours before the current period ends, by logging in to your account or contacting support.
- Renewals are charged at the then-current rate, which the terms say ‘may be higher or lower.'
- If you take a trial, charging starts the day after it ends unless you cancel before then.
Refund policy
The seller's terms say it follows a ‘no refund policy unless the product… is proven to be not as described or faulty.' You must contact support within 14 days of delivery with visual proof. For faulty goods, support provides a prepaid label, you must ship within 14 days, and the refund can take up to 14 business days after inspection. A package damaged in transit must be reported within 7 days, with photos of the product and box. Athletic Insight says every order has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is broader than these terms. Go by the seller's written terms, and get any broader promise in writing.
The terms also say disputes go to individual arbitration, with an opt-out by email within 30 days of accepting, that the seller's liability is capped at $100, and that nothing stops you from reporting to federal, state or local agencies.
Where can you buy it?
The seller sells it directly, and the offer appears on more than one web address, both carrying the same terms. The seller says it ships free to the US, Canada, UK and several EU countries. Buy only where you can see the plan, delivery frequency and total before you enter card details. Screenshot the plan page and keep the order email.
Is ColonBroom basically Metamucil, and why be careful with psyllium?
That question applies to the original ColonBroom powder, not the GLP-1 capsule. The seller lists the original powder's ingredients as psyllium husk powder, citric acid, crystallized lemon, stevia leaf extract and natural flavors, at $39.99, $26.99 and $19.99 per bottle on its plans. A dietitian's piece on Food and Health says its main ingredient is comparable to Metamucil and Benefiber. It says the supplement is deemed safe used as labeled, and that its price was far higher than Metamucil or generic psyllium. It also warns that overuse could cause diarrhea and electrolyte problems, and recommends fiber-rich food first, with the Dietary Guidelines' 25 g a day for women and 38 g for men. Athletic Insight advises a full glass of water and spacing fiber two hours from prescription medication, and says people with IBS or Crohn's disease should speak to a doctor first.
What is comparable to ColonBroom GLP-1?
- Standalone berberine: YourHealthier says products with 500 mg berberine HCl per capsule typically cost well under $1 a day. It also cites a 2018 study of 15 berberine products in which actual content averaged 75% of the label (range 33% to 100%). Ask any seller for a certificate of analysis by lot number.
- Fiber: psyllium products and high-fiber foods, as above.
- Prescription GLP-1 drugs: a different category entirely, decided with a clinician.
Who is named in the advertising?
The seller's pages show ‘Elle Jackson, Head of Nutrition at ColonBroom,' plus first-name-and-initial customer testimonials. Ask support for the credentials of any named expert before you rely on them. If the ad that brought you here showed a celebrity, doctor or a news-style page, treat it carefully. The FTC's account of the Tarr, Inc. case describes ads dressed as news with celebrity names used without permission and hidden automatic shipments. That is not a finding about ColonBroom. It is a checklist for the ad you saw. For how we check such ads, see our Jillian Michaels gelatin trick investigation and the Shonda Rhimes keto gummies check.
What if you already ordered?
- Find your plan. Check the order email for monthly, 3-month or 6-month delivery. Cancel in your account or email hello@colonbroom.com at least 48 hours before the next renewal, and keep a screenshot or the reply.
- Ask for a refund in writing within 14 days of delivery if the product is not as described or faulty. Include photos.
- Call your card issuer. The FTC's page on what to do if you were scammed says to report to your card issuer right away, and that federal law protects you from unauthorized card use. The Better Business Bureau, in an ABC News report, advises calling the number on your card and asking for a chargeback. Success depends on the facts of your charge. Dispute only charges you did not agree to or that were not as described.
- Check the terms you saw. The FTC says the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act requires clear disclosure of material terms before billing information is taken, express consent before charging, and a simple way to cancel. If you were not shown a recurring plan, say so in your dispute.
- Report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. The FTC says it cannot resolve individual reports but uses them to build cases. You can also report the ad to the platform that showed it.
- Avoid paying ‘recovery' services up front. The CFTC's guidance warns about recovery frauds that charge a fee to get money back, and says complaints to regulators are free.
