Ingredients: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), Chlorella, Cilantro, Spirulina, Tulsi, Fulvic Acid, Zeolite, Milk Thistle
Who It’s For
Adults seeking a structured, multi-pathway approach to detox support, aimed at aiding the binding and elimination of environmental toxins and selected heavy metals, while supporting liver phase I/II/III pathways, kidney oxidative-stress resilience, and immune stability, alongside hydration, fibre-rich meals, regular bowel movements, sweating or movement, and guidance from clinicians where necessary.
Health Benefits Summary
ETP is formulated to bind, mobilise, and eliminate environmental toxins through a complementary blend of amino acid antioxidants, mineral and organic binders, and chlorophyll-rich greens, while supporting the function of clearance organs. It helps buffer oxidative stress, maintain healthy bile and stool flow, and promote urinary excretion—essential for a safe, step-by-step detoxification process. By supporting liver conjugation capacity, enhancing renal resilience, and safeguarding immune balance during cleansing, ETP encourages daily vitality and systemic cleanliness. The formula utilises non-stimulant, food-grade actives and is suitable for short- to medium-term courses with regular reassessment.
Detailed Health Benefits
• Toxin Binding & Elimination
How it Helps: Supports capture of mobilised toxins in the gut and promotes their exit via stool to reduce enterohepatic recirculation.
How it Works: Zeolite/fulvic complexes and chlorophyll-rich microalgae provide high surface-area binding; fibre-compatible matrices help usher bound compounds through the bowel.
• Heavy-Metal Support
How it Helps: Assists the body’s natural processes for reducing the burden of selected metals and metalloids.
How it Works: Microalgal cell walls and bioactive peptides can complex with certain ions; sulphur donors (e.g., NAC) bolster endogenous thiol chemistry involved in detox pathways.
• Liver Detoxification (Phase I/II/III)
How it Helps: Enhances conjugation and export of metabolites for efficient clearance.
How it Works: NAC replenishes glutathione; milk thistle supports hepatocellular antioxidant defences and bile flow; greens supply cofactors that assist enzymatic conjugation and transport.
• Kidney Oxidative-Stress Resilience
How it Helps: Protects renal tissues exposed to circulating oxidants during cleansing phases.
How it Works: Antioxidants and polyphenols help quell ROS and support nitric-oxide balance for healthy perfusion and filtration dynamics.
• Immune Balance During Detox
How it Helps: Maintains steady immune tone and reduces irritative responses as toxins are mobilised.
How it Works: Adaptogenic botanicals (e.g., tulsi) and microalgal antioxidants modulate redox status and cytokine signalling for measured reactivity.
Key Ingredients — Evidence-based actions
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
How it Helps: Replenishes glutathione for antioxidant defence and detox enzyme function; supports mucolysis and cellular redox balance.
Why it works: Provides cysteine (rate-limiting for GSH); exhibits direct free-radical scavenging and thiol-disulfide exchange effects.
Research:
• Comprehensive review of NAC’s redox/clinical roles: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8234027/ (PMC)
• Double-blind RCT in older adults showing fewer influenza-like episodes (immune-redox context): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9230243/ (Europe PMC)
Chlorella (Chlorella spp.)
How it Helps: Supports toxin handling and mucosal immunity; may reduce transfer/levels of certain lipophilic pollutants.
Why it works: Cell-wall polysaccharides, fibres, and chlorophyll can sequester compounds intraluminally; nutritional cofactors support antioxidant and IgA responses.
Research:
• Pregnant-women study: lower dioxins & higher IgA in breast milk with chlorella: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17472477/ (PubMed)
• Review summarising human and mechanistic findings (incl. mercury and lipid-soluble toxins): https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/9/2524 (MDPI)
Cilantro / Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
How it Helps: Adjunct antioxidant support during metal exposure; limited evidence for influencing tissue metal handling.
Why it works: Phenolics, terpenes, and minerals may modulate oxidative stress and, in preclinical models, reduce lead/cadmium accumulation.
Research:
• Mouse study: heated leaf extract lowered kidney arsenic/cadmium and improved oxidative-stress resistance: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30783906/ (PubMed)
• Rat data: coriander extracts showed chelating/protective effects against lead exposure: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5446471/ (PMC)
Note: Human chelation evidence for cilantro remains preliminary/indirect; use as supportive, not as a replacement for medical chelation when indicated.
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis)
How it Helps: Antioxidant/immune support; human RCT suggests improved arsenic elimination with zinc co-administration.
Why it works: Phycocyanobilin and pigments modulate oxidative and inflammatory pathways; proteins/polysaccharides may influence detox physiology.
Research:
• RCT in chronic arsenic exposure: spirulina extract + zinc improved clinical scores and increased arsenic excretion: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16615668/ (PubMed)
Tulsi / Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum/tenuiflorum)
How it Helps: Modulates stress-immune crosstalk and supports balanced cytokine tone.
Why it works: Eugenol and rosmarinic acid-rich extracts influence cortisol and immune markers (NK cells, Th1/Th2 ratios) in small human trials.
Research:
• Double-blind RCT in healthy adults showing immunomodulatory effects: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21619917/ (PubMed)
• Human systematic review of Tulsi efficacy/safety: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5376420/ (PMC)
Fulvic Acid (FA; humic-substance fraction)
How it Helps: Intraluminal complexation with metal ions; broad antioxidant capacity supports redox homeostasis.
Why it works: Multiple ligand sites chelate/adsorb cations in aqueous environments; preclinical data show reduced tissue metal retention and favourable redox effects.
Research:
• 2023 review on FA/HA metal interactions & remediation mechanisms: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9868176/ (PMC)
• Toxicology & safety evaluation of humic/fulvic mixture: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7505752/ (PMC)
Note: Direct human clinical trials on FA for metal detox are limited; evidence is more substantial for binding capacity and environmental/animal models.
Zeolite (Purified Clinoptilolite tuff)
How it Helps: A Gastrointestinal binder that can reduce enteral uptake of lead when co-ingested.
Why it works: Microporous aluminosilicate with high cation-exchange capacity; remains intraluminal and adsorbs metals.
Research:
• Human randomised study: purified clinoptilolite (G-PUR) reduced ^204Pb absorption by ~86–90% in healthy adults: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-94245-x (Nature)
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum; standardised to silymarin)
How it Helps: Hepatocellular protection and antioxidant support; may improve liver enzymes in some chronic liver conditions.
Why it works: Silymarin complexes stabilise membranes, modulate Nrf2/antioxidant and inflammatory pathways, and support glutathione.
Research:
• 2024 clinical review on silymarin in chronic liver disease: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10852028/ (PMC)
• Double-blind RCT in NAFLD (liver enzymes/lipids): https://publish.kne-publishing.com/index.php/ABI/article/view/14105/13208 (KNE Publishing)
