By now you must have realized that diet plays an important role in detoxifying the body and there are some detox food supplements that can help you get rid of toxins faster. Above all, they can strengthen the organs responsible for purifying the body.
Who are Detox Supplements for?
Not everyone can claim a cure for detox products. To take a supplement that will help you detoxify your body, there is only one precaution to take. You must be in good health and know your body well enough to know what you are doing. Most detox food supplements have the particularity of not containing chemical agents or molecules with barbaric names. Many indeed consist of plant extracts or even probiotics.
But since we are all different, we all don’t have the same digestive capacities and same tolerances. It is, therefore, necessary to be vigilant about the products that you will select so you don’t fall victim to digestive disorders.
We have already seen how to bring these products through your diet. But let’s face it, some of these taste awful. Therefore it’s better to take them in capsule form so it doesn’t bother you and bypass their taste. Let’s see the most popular, the most effective ones.
Black Radish
Our liver is a vital organ of the body which processes everything we consume. Its works include but not limited to protein creation, bile emission, drug metabolism, and chemical detoxification. However, for several reasons, The liver may not work as it is supposed to. That’s where supplements come into play. The Black Radish is one of them.
The main characteristic of the black radish is its cholagogue effect. This means that it stimulates the contraction of the gallbladder. And not the production of bile by the liver as it is often, wrongly, mentioned. The vesicle contracts, excreting the bile in the intestines, allowing the digestion of fat and the evacuation of metabolic waste in the stool. Promoting the excreting of bile, therefore, increases the evacuation of toxins and waste produced by the metabolism of drugs, alcohol, or even blood (evacuation of bilirubin).
Milk Thistle
It is not the plant itself which has interesting virtues. In reality, it is a complex of very specific molecules found in it called silymarin. This complex is itself made up of several molecules with interesting properties that protect the liver. The role of these molecules is so widely recognized to protect damaged liver cells that clinicians use it to treat patients with cirrhosis.
It is therefore advised to take the supplement milk thistle during your detox process to ensure optimal liver function, and especially if you are used to drinking alcohol on a regular basis.
Turmeric
Many athletes use turmeric to protect themselves from joint pain because of its anti-inflammatory properties. This inflammatory action does not benefit the joints alone. It actually applies to all the organs and more particularly those which interest us here, the liver and the intestines. Consuming it regularly, therefore, limits the inflammation caused by our modern world. These inflammations which one does not notice because they act at a low level but are all the same harmful. Make turmeric, and more specifically its active substance, curcumin, your new friend.
Methionine
This essential amino acid, which cannot be synthesized by our body, is the acid that is found in most of the food supplements used for detox.
The reason is simple, very simple because it allows the synthesis of an extremely important molecule in antioxidant metabolisms – glutathione. Sufficient daily intake is therefore necessary. If your protein intake is already sufficient during the day, note that this intake through supplementation is very essential.
The Best for the End
All these food supplements are effective, but on one condition: they are part of a complete, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle limiting toxic waste to your body. Many people eat very badly, consume too much alcohol, and rush to detox to cleanse their bodies. Know that this approach is wrong and that all excesses, especially over the long term, put your health at risk.
Keep your detox cure for occasional excesses, such as parties or a gastronomic trip.
