Study Details

Study Description

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Dietary Supplement: Standard Process 21-Day Purification Program
N/A

Detailed Description

Purification, also known as detoxification, may help remove natural toxins from the body, while maintaining a healthy weight. The toxin load we are exposed to daily may take a toll on our physical and emotional well-being. Internally, human bodies produce waste byproducts because of normal metabolic function. Although the human body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened. Purification may offer the body additional support to expel these toxins and manage weight, which is important to maintaining health and vitality.
