Thorne Research – Basic Detox Nutrients – Soy-Free – Vitamins, Minerals, and Other Nutrients to Aid in Detoxification – 360 Capsules Thorne Research

★★★★★ My integrative MD called these the foundation of metabolic detoxification programs, and said he had his whole family on them. (He has since moved on to a proprietary product from Xymogen, I think maybe he said Oraxinol along with ActivNutrients, but that is not readily available to most people as it can only be bought through a Xymogen dealer.)There is one important thing you must know about them: start slow!! I started with 1 pill (the supposed daily dose is 12), and it was too much. I had to work my way up from 1/8 capsule per day (yes, that's 1/128 of the supposed daily dose). It took me a few months and some other work to get to 6 a day. I can still feel it as these start to wear off (I take 2 3x a day). I think 6 a day is a typical dose, although I'm going to ask about going higher.You can think of metabolic detoxification as the real form of detoxification that removes actual toxins from your body, as studied by research scientists, not to be confused with the trendy cleanses and so forth. These vitamins have a complex of herbs/"botanicals" (more or less the 3rd column of ingredients on the bottle) that enhance and push your body's detox systems.

★★★★☆ This is my second bottle purchased. My doctor referred me to this brand and I use it faithfully. I don't notice anything like extra energy or feeling any better than usual, but I don't feel any worse either. I guess it's doing its job 🙂

★★★★☆ My naturopath insisted I try these. I guess they're OK. I always used Mercola multivitamins. I haven't noticed a difference between energy or health between the two types, so I'd say they're good.
