Detoxification diets are a common method designed to remove toxins from the body to improve overall health and well-being. Your Super’s 5-Day Detox is a plant-based detox program designed to help improve your overall health and wellness by eliminating toxins from your body. The program consists of five days of consuming a combination of organic superfood powders and fresh fruits and vegetables to support your body’s natural detoxification process.

Following the success of their first clinical study with Citruslabs, Your Super decided to run another clinical trial to investigate a second product set, a 5-Day Detox Bundle.

Study design

Your Super’s clinical trial was designed as an open-label single-group study and included study specific-questionnaires and weight measurements. The study asked participants to complete the 5-day detox period in line with the Your Super protocol. During this time, participants consumed one glass of water that included the Gut Feeling supplement on an empty stomach and then consumed the two smoothies during the day; one for breakfast and one for dinner. Participants were also supplied with nutritional guidelines that included a complete dietary plan they could follow. During the trial, participants were informed to report any adverse or ill effects while taking the superfood supplement.

On Day 6, the detox period was officially over and participants were free to either return to their usual diet or maintain the healthy eating habits developed during the detox period. Participants were surveyed on Day 0 (baseline), Day 3 (during the detox), Day 9, and Day 21 of the intervention. Participants were also asked to record their weight on all of the previously mentioned days plus Day 7 and Day 14.

The participants

Thirty-eight participants were recruited to be a part of the trial. To be a part of the trial, participants had to be 18-55 years old and experience regular fatigue and a self-reported unhealthy lifestyle.

Results

5-Day Detox significantly enhances levels of well-being and sustains those levels after completing the detox period

The 5-Day Detox program improved energy, mental clarify, and other health outcomes

Results: Following the 5-Day-Detox, participants reported significant improvements in energy levels, mental clarity, focus, sleep quality, mood swings, fatigue, brain fog, compulsive eating, and excessive perspiration.

Participants were asked questions about their health at the study baseline, Day 3, Day 9, and Day 21. The baseline measurement was taken before participants started the Your Super detox supplements, and Day 3 was the only measurement point where participants reported their well-being markers while on the Your Super's Detox Bundle. Day 9 and Day 21 were after the bundle was consumed to test whether participants were able to maintain or improve their health markers days after completing the detox.

Participants also recorded their weight at the study Baseline, Day 3, Day 7, Day 9, Day 14, and Day
21. There was a significant reduction in weight across the trial.

Participants were asked at the end of the trial to rate their experience with the detox on a variety
of factors of interest. These questions were asked to investigate the product's efficacy in enhancing long-term health behaviors. 

Participants were also asked open questions to provide an opportunity for them to share any other information. Some of the quotes included:

  • "This has motivated me to keep up with this diet. I also had fun making the smoothies every day." 

  • "This worked great as far as bloating. I was really impressed."
