Key Points:
- There are mixed thoughts on whether detox support is necessary. But it’s important to remember that we face more environmental toxins and chemicals than ever before. Enhancing our detox pathways helps us manage those toxins.
- Some symptoms that indicate you may need to detox include acne breakouts, unexplained weight gain, low energy, bloating, swollen lymph nodes, brain fog, and trouble sleeping.
- The best way to naturally detox is to support the function of your detox organs. When faced with toxin overload, your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system may need extra nutrients.
