Detoxification
 Get Clean from Within and Without!
Modern life exposes us to many chemicals and pollutants in our environment. From preservatives in food to chemicals in household cleaning products, cosmetics and building materials. Our bodies are designed to remove toxins from our systems through the liver, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and skin. However, because we are bombarded on a daily basis with so many toxins, our systems can have a hard time eliminating them all. A build up of toxins can lead to decreased energy, sluggish metabolism, a compromised immune system and chronic health problems. Some of the ways our bodies can accumulate toxins are:
- In the Liver: Among the many important functions of the liver is its role as a detoxifier, breaking down or transforming substances like ammonia, metabolic waste, drugs, alcohol and chemicals, so that they can be excreted. With the high volume of pollutants that we ingest or come into contact with every day, the liver can easily become overworked. For optimizing liver function and detoxification, try NSI's liver support formulas on the right.
- In the Colon: Toxins that accumulate in our bodies due to a poor diet of processed and chemically polluted foods often build up in the colon and can lead to constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, and bloating. To keep your colon healthy, we recommend NSI's colon formulas on the right.
- From Heavy Metals: These can enter the body through food, water, air, or absorption through the skin when we are exposed to them in agriculture, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, industrial, or residential settings. Examples of some of the more common heavy metals are arsenic, lead and mercury. Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous system function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. (Click here to see EcoNugenics Heavy Metal Testing Kit). Oral chelation therapy is the process of removing from the body heavy metals by the ingestion of a chelating agent, such as EDTA, that binds to the toxins and removes them from the body. Vitacost sells a number of oral chelation products, with several shown below. (See all Oral Chelation Products.)
