When detoxifying the body of xenoestrogens and other toxins, always start slow.
Take 1 capsule daily with food and gradually increase as tolerated.
Many people eventually work up to the full serving of 4 capsules daily, but increasing gradually allows your body to adapt to the detoxification process more comfortably.
For some people, a reaction to detoxifying will occur, and it’s not negative per se – it’s the body reacting to the xenoestrogens being processed. When that happens, the dose should be adjusted to a lower level.
Symptoms of normal detoxification include headaches, muscle pain, nausea, or other GI upsets.
Many people are slow detoxifiers, which means the body has a hard time eliminating toxins. The liver dumps toxins into your small intestines, and by removing toxins too quickly, it can make a person feel unwell.
Detoxification and Dietary Fiber
Eating enough dietary fiber is always important, but it’s especially crucial while detoxifying. When your liver dumps toxins into your GI tract, food fibers will tend to capture those toxins and trap them, ultimately transporting them out of your body through bowel movements. But if you are eating a low-fiber diet, you potentially have a huge problem because the intestines don’t have dietary fibers to trap the toxins your liver is dumping into your small intestines! Those toxins end up getting reabsorbed right back through your intestinal walls and into your blood.
High-fiber foods include vegetables, fruit, legumes, lentils, and whole grains with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
