Plenty of fiber: from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Drinking: Water helps flush harmful substances from the body.
Herbal teas and adaptogens: Milk thistle or nettle, for example, can help to cleanse the body.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the specific supplement. Digestive enzymes are best taken right with a meal (or just before) to help break down nutrients. Probiotics are usually recommended in the morning on an empty stomach or before bed. Milk thistle and herbal extracts for liver support are most commonly taken during the day with a meal to support metabolic processes.
Yes, and very significantly! You can eat the highest quality proteins and take expensive supplements, but if your digestion is compromised and your gut lining is compromised, your body cannot efficiently absorb those nutrients. The result is bloating, post-meal fatigue, and poorer muscle regeneration. Supporting your digestion with enzymes and probiotics ensures you extract the absolute maximum from your food.
The gut is often referred to as the "second brain." Up to 70% of the immune system resides there, and the majority of serotonin (the happiness hormone) is produced in the gut. If your gut microbiome is weakened (e.g., from a diet full of sugar, stress, or antibiotics), your whole body suffers—leading to inflammation, poor recovery, fatigue, and impaired absorption of proteins and vitamins.
The undisputed king for the liver is Milk Thistle (containing the active ingredient silymarin), which is proven to protect and regenerate liver cells. For gut health and digestion, high-quality probiotics (live cultures) and prebiotics (fiber) are absolutely crucial, as they nourish good gut bacteria. A healthy gut means better nutrient absorption and stronger immunity.
The body has its own absolutely perfect system for detoxification—primarily the liver and kidneys. You don't need any drastic fasts or overpriced "miracle detox teas." However, you can enormously support your liver and digestion by making their job easier and supplying the right substances (such as milk thistle, chlorella, or digestive enzymes) that accelerate natural regeneration.
