Detoxification is not a modern trend, but a fundamental biological necessity. Our body has sophisticated systems to neutralize harmful substances and excrete them. The main organ of this cleaning work is the liver. It transforms fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble compounds, which then leave the body via bile or urine.
But in today's environment, we are exposed to a variety of stresses – from heavy metals to microplastics. If the body's "garbage collection" is overloaded, toxins can accumulate in the tissue and promote chronic inflammatory processes. An understanding of these biochemical processes is the first step to effective support.

The liver filters about 1.5 liters of blood per minute, neutralizing toxins, medications, and metabolic waste.

How can we optimize these natural processes? The intake of certain micronutrients such as zinc, selenium, and silicon can promote the liver's enzymatic detoxification pathways. Sulfur-containing amino acids also play a key role in neutralizing toxins.
Furthermore, an intact gut barrier is crucial to prevent pollutants from entering the bloodstream in the first place (Leaky Gut). Sufficient water and a high-fiber diet support excretion. Detoxification is thus teamwork: liver, kidneys, intestines, and skin work hand in hand – when we give them the right tools.
