The body has natural ways to detoxify, but sometimes it needs extra help to remove toxins. The liver is the main organ for detoxification, but other organs such as the kidneys, skin and colon also play a role. Consistency and a holistic approach are necessary for effective detoxification. Symptoms of toxic build-up can include weight gain, brain fog, digestive issues, fatigue, and muscle pain. Toxins can be found in everyday items such as water, air, food, and personal care products. Detoxification initially occurs in the liver where toxins are transformed into smaller fragments. These fragments are bound to water-soluble compounds to be excreted through urine, sweat or stool. It's important to consume specific nutrients to ensure efficient detoxification and prevent inflammation and tissue damage.

Studies have shown that MSM can protect the liver from oxidative damage and chemically-induced toxicity. MSM supplementation has been found to reduce markers of oxidative damage and enhance levels of glutathione, a key antioxidant in the body. It is recommended that when taking MSM for detoxification, it should be introduced gradually to prevent unpleasant side effects like headaches, acne and rashes.
