Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Short-term dietary cleanses and other popular detoxification methods are thought to eliminate accumulated toxins from the body and subsequently, promote health and well-being. Although previous studies have reported improvements in weight loss, blood pressure and insulin resistance with these practices, there is not enough scientific evidence to corroborate these claims. Therefore, the objective of this pilot study is to determine the effects of a short-term dietary cleanse on various parameters of skin, gut, metabolic and mental health and evaluate the aforementioned health claims.
