The primary use for this supplement is to support detoxification as most of the ingredients help to bind and remove heavy metals from the body. Detox Support comprises the following natural nutrients:
Spirulina 200mg (contains chlorophyll) - Chlorophyll and associated phytonutrients provide natural chelating support, particularly for heavy metal. Chlorophyll also promotes bile flow and enhances the mobilisation of mercury compartmentalized in non-neurologic structures such as the gut wall, 91 muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, and bone.
Garlic 200mg – Garlic is protective of blood cells from oxidative damage. It contains sulph-hydryl groups which oxidise mercury, cadmium and lead making them water soluble to enable excretion via urine and also inhibit storage. Also allicin helps to protect against microbial infections associated with heave metal overload.
Vitamin C 200mg – Vitamin C helps to conjugate and remove water soluble toxins. It also elevates body antioxidant resources and helps to mobilise mercury and other metals from intracellular stores.
Manganese 6mg – Manganese is often depleted in people with heavy metal burden as most heavy metals lower manganese levels.
Zinc 5mg – Lead and cadmium inhibit zinc dependant enzymes and exert more of a toxic effect in the presence of zinc deficiency. Zinc is also a universal chelator and hence the mineral is always needed in good quantities during detoxification.
