Study Description

Brief Summary

Detoxification diets aim to remove chemicals from the body that may cause short or long-term harm. However, little is known about detoxification diets from well-designed clinical trials. This trial examines the efficacy of Chef V's 21-Day Starter Challenge Detox diet. Participants will use Chef V's 21-Day Starter Challenge Detox as directed for the first 21 days of the trial and continue to use the Chef V Green Drink Supplement for an additional seven days. The primary outcomes of interest are the participant's perceptions of their health improvements and biomarkers that will be measured via blood draws.
