A good cleanse should include supplements that gently work with your body to promote its natural ability to detoxify itself. It’s the difference between helping your body to detoxify and forcing your body to do so. Herbal extracts, like milk thistle, provide the liver with support at a cellular level.† Natural, non-stimulant laxative ingredients, like slippery elm and marshmallow extract, help the digestive system excrete toxins out of the system.†

And, one of the most important—but often overlooked—components of a cleanse is fiber. As the liver and digestive system prepare to remove toxins, fiber binds to those toxins and helps gently clean the intestines, too.†

All of these ingredients are included with the Whole Body Cleanse™ internal cleansing system†.

Clearing Up Cleanse Myths
Let’s clarify how Whole Body Cleanse internal cleansing system† is different from some other, slightly bizarre, and probably unhealthy cleanses. In fact, there are some things about cleanses that simply don’t apply to Whole Body Cleanse†:
  • Myth #1: A Cleanse Means No Food.
    Reality: Actually, you’ll probably be adding things to your diet. All you have to give up is the stuff you probably know isn’t good for you anyway–refined breads and sugars, processed and cured meats, and excessive caffeine, and ‘drive-thru’ dinners. But, what you get in return is wonderful–fresh fruits and veggies, hardy, whole-grain breads, lean, home-cooked meats, and a healthier perspective. Don’t think of it as a fast. Think of it as getting reacquainted with real food that will make you feel better, more energetic and refreshed.
     
  • Myth #2: A Cleanse Means No Energy.
    Reality: Not really. Sure, you might move in a ‘slower gear’ at first, but only because you’re finally stepping off of the tightly wound caffeine trap of sugary coffee drinks and soda. You’ll probably be surprised at how much focus you’ll develop by relying on nutrients for your brain power and “go” factors. In fact, by the end of a cleanse, you’ll most likely feel lighter, rejuvenated, and more energized.†
     
  • Myth #3: A Cleanse Means No Fun.
    Reality: Not true. For the next two weeks (and we hope beyond that) you’ll be exploring new recipes, getting back to some enjoyable basic exercise (how does a relaxing walk sound?), and feeling in tune with body and spirit again.
     
  • Myth #4: A Colon Cleanse is All You Need.
    Reality: You are not your colon. Your body needs a cleanse that addresses the whole you. While some cleanses focus only on this aspect of detoxification, Whole Body Cleanse supports all of your body’s natural abilities to purify itself.†
A cleanse helps you reconnect with life
A good cleanse is a realignment with what’s healthy in life—a healthy diet, a chance to slow down a bit from our too fast, overly-processed lifestyle, and a way to give your body a chance to rid itself of the things that build up over time.†
