Hormones, pesticides and antibiotics in our food supply, pollution, poor diets, medications, exposure to smoke and toxic household chemicals all contribute to the toxic load on the body. Periodic use of detoxifying products can help restore proper function and balance to the body.
Milk Thistle
The liver is your body’s detoxifying organ. The herb milk thistle with the active ingredient, silymarin, supports the liver’s detoxification processes. This ingredient is especially important to those who drink alcohol, smoke or are exposed to environmental pollutants. Milk thistle extracts are available as single ingredient liquids or capsules such as Lindberg Milk Thistle Extract and are also incorporated into more comprehensive detox formulas and cleansing kits. Health Plus Liver Cleanse specifically targets the liver with a synergistic blend of herbs and vitamins for healthy liver function.
Cleansing Kits
Cleansing kits are designed for more complete multi-system detoxification support. Most kits combine cleansing fibers (remove the clogs from your intestines) with detoxifying herbs and nutrients (remove toxins via several detoxification pathways such as the gastrointestinal system, liver, kidneys, skin, blood and lymphatic system). Popular cleansing kits include Nature’s Secret Ultimate Cleanse, Renew Life CleanseSmart Advanced Cleanse System and Enzymatic Therapy Whole Body Cleanse Kit.
Metal/Mineral Detox
While certain minerals are necessary and nutritionally beneficial, other types of minerals and metals such as mercury are not. Metal contamination comes from many sources like dental fillings, pollution, fish, certain foods, water and more. These minerals and metals are hard for the body to eliminate and can accumulate and damage tissues like arteries and veins. MRM Cardio Chelate is a unique product that contains the FDA approved ingredient EDTA that binds to non-nutritional minerals and metals to facilitate natural and safe elimination from the body.
