Summary |
PowerNutra Extreme Detox
Just as there are toxins in the environment that harm nature, there are toxins in the environment that harm the human body. The body’s toxic hit list consists of
drugs (illegal, legal, and over-the-counter), heavy elements and metals, household chemicals and solvents, infections, herbicides and pesticides, alcohol,
air pollution, tobacco, water pollution, caffeine. Unless we move to a mountain in some uninhabited part of the planet, we have to live with toxins in our environment. If we are going to enjoy the modern conveniences to the 21st century, then we will also have to accept the diminishment of health that comes along with the conveniences. This fact has made way for an entire section in the health supplement market; it is known as detoxification. Detoxification therapies primarily target the digestive system of the body, but there are products that claim to cleanse other organs of the body as well.
PowerNutra has developed Extreme Detox for the digestive system. They rightly purport that the digestive system has a tremendous impact on the entire body. Their product is advertised as a gentle and effective way to help cleanse and maintain a healthier intestinal tract. Very little information is given about the way this product will actually detoxify the digestive tract, they must presume that the consumer will surmise from the product’s ingredient list what should be expected with the formula.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Alfalfa, Psyllium Husks, Wheatgrass, Buckthorn
Alfalfa has been used by the Chinese since the sixth century to treat kidney stones, and to relieve fluid retention and swelling. This herb is also a folk remedy for arthritis, diabetes, asthma, hay fever, and is reputed to be an excellent appetite stimulant and overall tonic. Alfalfa is considered an excellent source of nutritive properties with minerals, chlorophyll and vitamins. Alfalfa is high in chlorophyll and nutrients. Treating with alfalfa preparations is generally without side effects; however, the seeds contain a slightly toxic amino acid L-canavanine.
Psyllium husks are used to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, and diarrhea. They are used as a regular dietary supplement to improve and maintain regular GI transit. Some recent research is also showing them to be promising in lowering cholesterol and controlling diabetes.
Wheatgrass, when grown, processed and stored under optimal conditions is considered one of the most potent leafy green vegetables available. Wheat grass powder is an excellent concentrated food source of beta-carotene, calcium, chlorophyll, fiber, iron and vitamin K. It is also a very good source of protein, vitamin C, vitamin B-12, folic acid, vitamin B-6, trace minerals and contains all essential amino acids. Dehydrated wheat grass has been used for over 50 years as a vitamin and mineral supplement.
Buckthorn is a recognized source of traditional herbal medicines and modern vitamins and nutrients. It have been used around the world in anti-aging and medicinal skin care products and dietary supplements with nourishing revitalizing, and restorative action.

| Final Thoughts |
|
An under active bowel can indeed cause toxins to be absorbed into the blood stream because digestion and elimination are slowed down. Flushing impurities from the body can be one of the steps we take to improve our health. However, detoxification should be maintained with a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and making the body move more than it sits! This particular product will probably flush your body alright, but there is more to detoxification than that. You may want to consider cleansing the other organs of the body by using the popular skin patches that pull impurities to the surface of the skin. They are convenient, inexpensive, organic, and have some support for their effectiveness.
