Is the free product of arbitrarily many abelian groups residually nilpotent?

A group is residually nilpotent if the intersection of the terms in its lower central series is the trivial group.

Is the free product of arbitarily (possibly infinite) many abelian groups residually nilpotent? In particular, this would imply that the free product of abelian groups with any free group is residually nilpotent.
