Do detox supplements actually work?
Not in the sense the word suggests. Your liver and kidneys handle that continuously. What these offer is fibre, bitters and herbal teas, which are worth having on their own terms.
What are bitters for?
Bitter herbs have traditionally been taken before meals across many food cultures. Dandelion, burdock and artichoke are the common ones here.
Can I take these while on medication?
Check first. Several of these herbs interact with prescribed medicines, and some are not suitable in pregnancy. Your pharmacist can check the specific product.
How much water should I drink with a fibre blend?
More than you think. Fibre without enough fluid causes exactly the discomfort you were trying to avoid - follow the pack and build up gradually.
