Did you have specific supplements in mind? There's different ways to look at it. For example, some use a lemon juice/olive oil flush with a fast to help cleanse the liver. In addition, there is a more scientific view of " detoxification " that looks at how the major organs work to help the body rid itself of toxic agents. The gut is the first place this begins, but the real " processors " are the liver and kidneys. Certain compounds in the body help in the process of eliminating toxic agents. Things like glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase help to reduce the effects of free radicals, which may cause damage to cell membranes, DNA, etc. NAC, whey proteins, alpha lipoic acid and whey proteins are all useful in helping to regenerate depleted levels of glutathione. I can post a backgrounder on various detoxification pathways if people are interested. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
