What it is
A combination of burdock, dandelion leaf and root, turmeric, galangal, sarsaparilla, artichoke, red clover, and parsley leaf and root forms a potent herbal formula traditionally used to aid detoxification of the blood and lymphatic system.
How it helps
Each plant contributes unique properties, and together they offer broad spectrum support for the body's natural elimination pathways. This synergistic approach is designed to support the elimination of metabolic waste, environmental toxins and inflammatory byproducts, helping to rejuvenate the blood and lymphatic systems, as well as supporting the liver and kidneys.
Detox basics: Phase I and Phase II
Phase I detox – The liver uses enzymes (mostly from the cytochrome P450 family) to break down toxins, including drugs, alcohol, pollutants and byproducts of metabolism. This process often turns toxins into intermediate forms that are more reactive (and sometimes more harmful) than the original toxins.
Phase II detox – In this phase, the liver neutralises and packages those reactive intermediates by adding molecules to them (a process called conjugation) so they become water soluble and can be excreted through urine or bile.
Think of Phase I as unpacking toxic boxes, and Phase II as safely sealing and disposing of them.
Herbal support for detox phases
- Turmeric (Curcuma longa) – Phase I and Phase II. Curcumin boosts liver enzymes and supports glutathione production, which is important for Phase II.
- Dandelion root – Phase I and Phase II. Stimulates bile, which is important for excreting conjugated toxins, and supports overall liver function.
- Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) – Phase I and Phase II. Increases bile flow and supports fat digestion and liver enzyme activity.
- Burdock root – Phase I and Phase II. A mild liver stimulator that supports both phases and also kidney elimination.
- Red clover – mainly Phase II. Mild phytoestrogens and antioxidants help Phase II detox pathways such as methylation and glucuronidation.
- Parsley – mainly Phase II. Rich in antioxidants and supports glutathione pathways.
- Galangal – mainly Phase I. Supports digestion and Phase I enzymes, with less evidence for Phase II.
- Sarsaparilla – mainly Phase II. Binds toxins and supports excretion through the lymph and kidneys, with more indirect support for Phase II.
