Are you looking for the best dietary supplement for detoxing the liver or gut? A product of exceptional quality made from medicinal plants? You’ve come to the right place. Supersmart has assembled the very best products for naturally supporting detoxification and cleansing the liver.
Here you’ll find classics such as EDTA and DMSA, two of the best chelators on the market, as well as Charcoal 400 mg, the ‘go-to’ activated charcoal supplement for cleansing the intestinal tract.
The concept of detoxification has been somewhat ‘hijacked’ by the agro-food and parapharmaceutical industries but the fact is, it’s a physiological process, recognised as crucial for the body and closely studied by the scientific community. It’s one of the body’s key defence systems, eliminating exogenous and endogenous toxins from the body (free radicals, organic acids) via enzymes, antioxidants and various immune proteins (cytochrome oxidase, glutathione-S-transferase …), and it can be enhanced by an adequate intake of micronutrients.
A number of substances, including minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and specific phytonutrients, can support the body’s own detox capacity by increasing concentrations of the molecules involved in this process. You’ll find these substances in the supplements offered on this page, to help maximise your body’s natural detox powers.
More effective nutrients for less money. Product combinations chosen by the scientific team at SuperSmart for their synergistic and complementary effects, at a great price. These supplement combinations have been shown to maximise absorption of active compounds and increase efficacy. How is this possible? By focusing on nutritional synergy. This is when the beneficial effects of several compounds taken simultaneously (vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients…) are greater than those obtained from these same compounds taken in isolation. We know, for example, that vitamin C supports iron absorption and that quercetin slows down the enzymes responsible for eliminating certain antioxidants. Every day, research is discovering new nutrient combinations that can enhance the benefits of dietary 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 defence 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.
