The scientific principle behind detoxification supplements
It’s a victim of its own success: for some time now, the popular concept of ‘detoxing’ has been regularly disparaged by certain members of the scientific community. Even if the concept has been hijacked as a marketing tool (mono diets or juicing, for example), the fact remains that detoxification is a cellular task recognised as vital for the human body. As is the case with other of the body’s defense systems, detoxification can be optimised. A wide variety of micro- and macro-nutrients are needed to ensure that exogenous and endogenous toxins are processed and eliminated from the body.

Proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants (carotenes, lycopene, lutein, tocopherols, polyphenols, curcumin …) and minerals (selenium, copper, zinc, manganese) are essential for the two, clearly identified phases of detoxification. So it’s not difficult to see how deficiency in these essential elements could significantly impair that process. Of course, ensuring intake of these nutrients should go hand in hand with avoiding foods that may harbour toxins.
These include products that contain petrochemical residues as a result of certain agricultural practices, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from grilled meat.
At Supersmart you can find a variety of body detoxification supplements in our inventory, along with plenty of other types of supplementation.
