Should I take my herbal and vitamin supplements whilst on a detox diet?
Derridean asked:
In one book I have written by a naturopath, she says not to take supplements whilst on a detox, but she doesn’t explain why. Maybe because you are already getting maximum vitamins from all the fresh juices etc that any excess will just be more stuff that your body needs to excrete, and therefore it might actually inhibit the detox? Just a guess, but if anyone has any real knowledge about this, let me know!

Better not to detox at all, it is a myth.
Intestinal experts say we don’t need an extreme diet to cleanse our insides.
“Your body does a perfectly good job of getting rid of toxins on its own,” says Dr. Nasir Moloo, a gastroenterologist with Capitol Gastroenterology Consultants Medical Group in Sacramento, Calif. “There’s no evidence that these types of diets are necessary or helpful.”
While there are medical conditions that interfere with organ function and prevent the body from clearing toxins, healthy people already have a built-in detoxification system — the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin, says Moloo.
And by attempting to flush out the “bad stuff” from our intestines, Sandon warns, you’re also “flushing out the good bacteria that keep the intestines healthy.”

Hi There,
From a holistic point of you, YES.
There are many herbal ingredients that may aid in a natural detoxification of the body. Dandelion and Fennel are just two herbs that have been used throughout history to cleanse and aid body detoxification, rejuvenate liver functioning, and kick-start the body back to life! Pelargonium reniforme is another ingredient that also works on promoting optimal liver functioning and supporting the body’s natural ability to break down and eliminate fat for a natural detoxification.
One such natural remedy is which has gained considerable popularity due to its zero side effects, support realistic and healthy weight management programs, and its supportive function in maintaining liver health and well-being.
Check it out and see if it helps. It seems, it generally does.
Good Luck!

Hi Derridea. I actually am taking a product called ultrabody cleanse which will detox your body without the flulike symptoms and cramping. It started working for me in one day. I also drink a juice called Le’vive which gives me more energy, boosts my metabolism, and helps me sleep. It also contains five of the worlds biggest antioxidants. Check out this site, I hope this post helps you.
