"Detox": what the word means and what it does not
Your liver and kidneys already do this job. What products in the Detox & Cleanse category actually are.
Updated October 21, 2026
In medicine, detoxification refers to the clinical management of poisoning or withdrawal, done by clinicians. In marketing, it usually means a short cleanse routine. The two are unrelated.
What our Detox & Cleanse products are
They are fibre, herbal and digestive products labelled for normal digestive function. We do not claim they remove toxins, and no product here should be used in place of medical care for exposure, poisoning or withdrawal.
Reading claims elsewhere
Consider any product that names specific toxins it removes, promises weight loss, or cites 'heavy metals' without a lab method as a red flag.
