Forget juice cleanses: the real sugar-free detox
Juice cleanses are trendy but contain 20-40g of sugar per glass. Sugar is the substance your ginger-turmeric-protection-2026">liver has to "detoxify" the most.
The paradox of juice cleanses
| Detox drink | Sugar/serving | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Cold-pressed green juice | 15-25g | Overloads the liver with fructose |
| Detox smoothie | 20-40g | Massive insulin spike |
| Lemon water | 0g | No detox proof |
| Ginger+turmeric shot | 0g | Proven liver support |
The real detox
- Curcumin — upregulates liver detox enzymes (glutathione S-transferase, phase II)
- Ginger — stimulates bile (toxin elimination via the intestines)
- Black pepper — inhibits glucuronidation (keeps active compounds longer)
- Zero sugar — does not overload the liver with fructose
INTI — the real detox: ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar.
