Daily Detox- The Power to Cleanse your Cells

Daily Detox- The Power to Cleanse your Cells

Dr. Claire Arcidiacono, ND

Anyone who knows me can tell you how much I like Invite Health powders! In this blog I will be talking about one of my absolute favorites, Daily Detox powder! This powder is full of nutrients that are good for your liver and even your kidneys. Let’s review just a few of the top nutrients found in our Daily Detox, shall we?

Let’s start with something that most people may have heard of, that is Milk Thistle. What do the studies have to say about Milk Thistle? Well a 2021 study found that using Milk Thistle helps to improve liver function in those with NAFLD. One theory proposed for how it works is by reducing inflammation and thus helps to reduce the liver damage. (1) In a 2014 study it was found that using milk thistle may help to extend life expectancy in those with cirrhosis. (2) While most people have heard of using milk thistle for liver health I bet you haven’t heard that it is also good for our kidney health! In fact studies have found that milk thistle has beneficial effects in those with diabetic nephropathy! (3) Preliminary studies have also found indications that milk thistle may help with memory, bone health and even our blood sugar. (4) As you can see milk thistle has a number of benefits for our overall health.

The next nutrient in Daily Detox is MSM. Studies have found that using MSM can help to reduce liver changes that are associated with NAFLD and even hepatic steatosis. MSM has also been found to help with blood sugar in diabetics. Controlling blood sugar when you have diabetes is important for many reasons, including our liver and kidney health. (5)

Another important nutrient in Daily Detox is dandelion root. I bet that you’re thinking but Dr. Claire isn’t that a weed that grows in my yard?? Well technically yes it is however it also has benefits for our overall health too. In fact studies have found that dandelion can help with certain GI disorders including but not limited to liver disease, gallstones and even pancreatitis. (6) Studies have also found that dandelion use can improve kidney health in those with damage caused by diabetes. (7) As you can see while dandelion may be “just a weed” that grows in your yard it is a fantastic nutrient four our health.

Chlorella is another nutrient in Daily Detox. Chlorella has been found to help with detoxing heavy metals from our body. (8) Another nutrient that helps with detox is watercress. Studies have found that watercress can help detox environmental toxins out of our body. (9)

Other nutrients in Daily Detox include Green Tea and NAC. Both of these have been blogged about by me before so I’ll just refer you to those blogs! Other nutrients that are good for our liver health and detox that are found in Daily Detox include Glycine (10), Ellagic Acid (11) and DL Methionine. (12)

As you can see Daily Detox is just chockfull of powerful nutrients! But how do you even use it? Well just like with any of our other powders you can simply mix it into water or you can simply mix it into any milk of your choice for a yummy strawberry flavored drink. You can even add it to yogurt or applesauce for a treat. As I always say get creative and have fun!

Our next blog will be on cirrhosis.
