Answers to Frequently Asked Cleanse/Detox Supplement Questions

Q1: What are cleanse/detox supplements, and what are cleanse/detox supplements best used for?

A1: Cleanse/detox supplements are a mix of herbs in pill, capsule, powder, liquid, or drink form, and may contain ingredients such as diuretics, cranberry, milk thistle, dandelion root, antioxidants, and probiotics. Cleanse/detox supplements are used by many to regain energy and well-being, improve digestion, and ward of diseases and illnesses that may be caused by the built-up toxins in our bodies.

Most of us come into contact with toxins every day without realizing it. Toxins are in our food, the water we drink, and even in the personal care and cleaning products that we use. When toxins build up in our system, it causes not only a lack of energy and well-being, but potentially a wide variety of disease and disorders.

Cleanse/detox supplements in Canada can contain a general formula designed for the entire body, or can be more specific formulas designed to target the colon, liver, bladder, or just about any other part of the body.

Cleanse/detox supplements are used to:

• Remove toxins from your system
• Cleanse your system
• Replenish nutrients
