Detoxification describes the body's natural process of eliminating toxins via organs like the liver and kidneys. Commercial 'detox' products claim to support these processes, but evidence is often limited.
Detoxification refers to the body's natural processes of neutralizing or eliminating toxins, both endogenous (metabolic waste) and exogenous (environmental pollutants, processed foods, medications). Key organs involved include the liver, kidneys, skin, and digestive system. Commercial 'detox' products often claim to support these processes, aiming to improve liver function, waste elimination, reduce inflammation, and enhance well-being. However, scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of many commercial 'detox' products is limited, with benefits primarily attributed to individual ingredients rather than the product as a whole. It is important to distinguish true 'detoxification' from medical interventions for acute poisoning or overdose.
