Wheat Grass
Powder
Spouted plants like wheat
grass are whole foods. They contain the essential nutrients
required by our body to sustain good health. Wheat grass is
high in chlorophyll, and contain a wide range of vitamins,
minerals, enzymes and amino acids. One ounce of wheat grass
juice is nutritionally equivalent to two pounds of
vegetables. One to two ounces during each meal time will
provide necessary sustenance as well as aid in the
detoxification process.
Essential Fatty Acids
(EFAs)
EFAs are known as the
“good fats” or ”good oils” - omega 3
and omega 6 fatty acids. They are essential nutrients which
have very important functions in the human body ranging from
energy production to brain function. Your body cannot live
without essential fatty acids from your diet. EFAs are easily
destroyed by exposure to sunlight, air and heat (even at room
temperature). Taking a good EFA supplement is highly
recommended before, during and after the Detox because it
supplies your body with essential nutrients and helps to keep
your body in a slightly alkaline state. Udos Choice Ultimate
Oil Blend is the preferred source of EFAs.It contains th
eright amounts of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids at the
optimum ratio of 1:2. It is produced from cold pressed
organic flax, sesame, sunflower and evening primrose seeds as
well as oils from rice and oat germs.

Organic Fruit &
Vegetable Juice
Fruits and vegetables are
our most direct source of energy and nutrients. Plants are
the only organism that can convert the power of the sun into
energy and in turn become a source of energy for other
organisms. Fruits, vegetables and sprouts contain all the
nec-essary energy yielding nutrients, vitamins and minerals
needed to sustain our bodies and is easily assimilated. Do
not consume commercially packaged or bottled juices as they
are nutritionally inferior and may contain additives like
sugar and preservatives.
Psyllium
Husk
The husk of the psyllium
plant is a very rich source of natural fiber. Psyllium
facilitates regular bowel movements, dredges the colon of
dangerous toxic residues and accelerates the entire detox
process. Your colon is very effective in reabsorbing water
and electrolytes and can leave stubborn fecal material dried
and impacted against the colon wall. Fiber helps to retain
moisture in the colon to soften impacted fecal material.
Apart from the benefits of fiber during the cleanse, a diet
rich in fiber can help reduce the risk of colon cancer, heart
disease, diabetes and diverticulosis.
Apple Cider
Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is
very effective for detoxifying various organs in the body. It
is a purifier because it has the means to break down fatty
mucous and phlegm deposits within the body. It promotes the
health of the eliminative organs of the body such as the
kidneys, bladder and liver by preventing excessively alkaline
urine. Cider vinegar also helps to oxidate the blood which
consequently prevents the blood from becoming too thick and
gluey. Thickened blood can strain the heart and blood vessels
leading to high blood pressure. Apple cider vinegar has a
potent supply of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral
for the normal growth of the body and for the replacement of
worn-out tissues. It is as important to the soft tissues, as
calcium is to the bones and teeth and it also retards the
hardening of the blood vessels.
ProBiotics
(Friendly Bacteria)
There are more than 500
species of bacteria in your intestinal tract. These comprise
a balance of “good” and “bad”
bacteria (80% good: 20% bad). The “good” bacteria
are responsible for manufacturing vitamins such as vitamin B
and K which are essential for the body. “Good”
bacteria also keep the bad bacteria from taking over the
system. During the detox period, good bacteria will be
cleansed out from the colon together with other toxins. It is
thus very important to replenish the intestinal flora by
supplementing with a good source of pro-biotics or
“good” bacteria.
