Daily Detoxification From Modern Toxic Threats

by VRP Staff

Environmental toxins have emerged as public enemy number one in recent years—and the potential role that widespread pollution plays in some of the most troubling national health trends is quickly becoming a matter of common knowledge.¹ An expanding waistline, unbalanced blood sugar and hormone levels, less than optimal arterial health and integrity, weakened immune health, fertility concerns and altered gene expression…these are just a few of the subtle but serious tolls that a heavy burden of toxins could be taking on your body, whether you realize it or not.^2-12

What’s worse, testing has shown that so-called “xenobiotics”—everyday environmental chemicals that hide in the form of pesticides, air pollutants, heavy metals, plastics and pharmaceutical drugs, not to mention a long list of chemical additives in everything from processed food to personal care products—can be found lurking in everyone’s fatty tissue.^13-14 Ultimately, no one is immune to this threat… and as this pervasive chemical “soup” thickens, even your body’s best efforts at natural detoxification can fall far short of ideal.¹⁵

Unless you live in a bubble, there’s no way to completely escape exposures to pollutants. Luckily, however, such drastic measures aren’t necessary to win the fight against environmental toxins. In fact, thriving in a toxic world may be as simple as arming your body with an abundant supply of crucial detoxifying nutrients every single day.

Gentle, daily detoxification ensures prolonged benefits without the inconvenience of rigid and impractical detox regimens—and that’s exactly why Vitamin Research Products designed Detox 365, a hypo-allergenic, rice protein-based functional food supplement packed with vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, phytonutrients, probiotics, digestive enzymes and multiple types of fiber that research shows can help to bind toxins and aid their normal excretion from your body.^16-17

Each ingredient was selected for its unique, scientifically supported ability to facilitate safe and natural detoxification on multiple levels: Calcium-D-glucarate promotes hormonal balance and healthy detoxification,¹⁸ while Maca root boosts energy levels and strengthens your body against stress, while promoting healthy immune function.¹⁹ Detox 365 also contains essential fatty acids from chia seed and organic broccoli sprouts, along with Siliphos®, a patented and highly absorbable combination of the natural detox powerhouses phosphatidylcholine and milk thistle.²⁰ But perhaps its most notable addition is Pectasol® modified citrus pectin—a unique, well-researched nutraceutical with clinically supported toxin-binding and immune-enhancing properties.²¹

By combining these essential ingredients into a mixed-berry-flavored powdered shake, Detox 365 guarantees simple, delicious, effective nutritional detoxification support, either with a meal or as a meal. Whether your goal is a lean body, balanced blood sugar metabolism, stronger bones and joints, powerful immune health, efficient digestion, acute memory and concentration or robust heart health, VRP’s Detox 365 can play a critical role in your success—delivering comprehensive and convenient toxin defense that’s just a daily shake away.
