Internal Detox™

Detoxifying the blood essentially means removing waste that may be in the blood as a result of biological processes or from disease. Internal Detox™ is a combination of chlorophyll from mulberry leaves and six quality ingredients formulated to promote efficient blood detox.

Ingredients

Chlorophyll gives leafy greens their green color. It is a pigment involved with photosynthesis, allowing plants to generate oxygen as a byproduct. Chlorophyll contains many vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for overall optimum health. In the human body, chlorophyll promotes healthy cell reproduction and helps detoxify by binding to toxins and turning them into neutral material. It is considered an important compound for blood detox and for removing heavy metals from the organism.

Activated charcoal is a byproduct of burning a carbon source, such as wood or, in many cases, coconut shells. The compound is activated by high temperatures, which remove oxygen and alter its chemical structure, resulting in smaller particles with increased surface area. The result is fine charcoal particles with millions of tiny pores that are able to capture, bind, and remove poisons, heavy metals, chemicals, and intestinal gas.

Echinacea is one of many herbs known for the ability to promote immune activity and clean the blood, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Echinacea has been used for centuries to boost immune defense, including against blood poisoning. Today, echinacea is more commonly found at the bedside of those with colds and flu. However, its effects are believed to be the same, by clearing the blood of pathogens and helping restore good health.

Dandelion is commonly used as a food. The leaves are used in salads and teas, while the roots are sometimes used as a coffee substitute. Dandelion leaves and roots have been used for hundreds of years. They are believed to help with liver, gallbladder, kidney, and joint problems. In some traditions, dandelion is considered a blood purifier and is used for certain skin conditions.

The use of milk thistle can be traced back more than 2,000 years. It is valued for its powerful antioxidant properties. The dried fruit of milk thistle contains a flavonoid complex known as silymarin, which is responsible for the medicinal benefits of the plant. Silymarin is made up of three main compounds: silibinin, silydianin, and silychristin. Among these, silibinin is considered the most active compound and is largely responsible for the benefits attributed to silymarin. Milk thistle may help protect liver cells by blocking the entry of harmful toxins and supporting their removal from cells.

Yellow dock has a long history of use as an alternative. Alternative herbs have nonspecific effects on the gastrointestinal tract and the liver. As a result, they are used for skin conditions attributed to toxic metabolites from poor digestion and weak liver function.

Native to Asia and Europe, burdock root is the primary ingredient of many herbal preparations. In many traditional herbal texts, burdock root is described as a “blood purifier” and was believed to clear the bloodstream of toxins. Burdock root contains high amounts of inulin and mucilage, which may explain its soothing effects on the gastrointestinal tract.
