How to Detox and Rejuvenate Your Body

By Ethan Boldt

April 3, 2025

Whether you realize it or not, the outside and inside of our bodies are exposed to multitudes of toxins every single day. These toxins can include environmental pollutants, food chemicals and preservatives, heavy metals, pesticides, pathogens and more. We inhale, ingest or come into contact with these toxins because that’s just part of living on this earth. 

But while our bodies can handle a certain amount of toxin exposure through its built-in detoxification system, there are times when our bodies may need an assist. In other words, getting some detoxification support through certain foods, drinks and supplements — including the Ancient Nutrition's Multi Collagen Advanced Detox Powder — can be a great idea.  

Of course, you should always consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle program, including dietary supplementation, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, allergic or taking any medication.

Signs that you may need a detox

Some common areas that you may benefit from detoxification can include:

• Energy levels

• Strength

• Sleep

• Focus and concentration

• Outlook

• Digestion

• Overall health 

• Immune system health

• Skin health

Benefits of a detox

1. Detoxify (reducing toxicity in the body)

The primary purpose of a detox is to give your body’s own built-in detoxification the support it needs. Your liver, kidneys, and immune system normally do this for you, so the goal is to support these organs by providing them with plenty of nutrients.

After detoxing, you may notice that you feel lighter, energized and more clear-headed afterwards.

2. Support healthy inflammation levels 

Inflammation is a natural, normal response in the body, but it’s important to maintain a healthy response to inflammation. A detox diet and lifestyle can help keep the body in balance. 

3. Support for healthy weight management (in addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle, including regular exercise)

Detoxing often involves a lower calorie diet and an emphasis on green vegetables, both of which can help you lose weight or manage a healthy weight. In addition, eating a nutrient-rich diet and avoiding ultra-processed foods, you’ll likely be better in touch with your hunger and fullness cues and have more energy for physical activity.

Some people also employ intermittent fasting during their detox, and that type of fasting can result in weight loss. It works by depriving your body of its main source of energy, forcing it to start breaking down fat cells instead.

You may also use certain detoxing ingredient like apple cider vinegar, which contains the organic compound acetic acid that helps promote a healthy weight (in addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle, including regular exercise). 

4. Get more nutrients into your diet

The herbs, greens and botanicals in detoxifying super greens (see below) are nutrient-packed sources of essential phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. This means that these formulas may help fill in gaps in your diet, especially if you don’t regularly eat vegetables and fruits.

Ancient Nutrition's Organic SuperGreens is loaded with 25-plus power-packed superfoods containing key plant compounds. 

5. Boosts healthy energy levels

Consuming plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from foods and supplements is one of the best ways to promote healthy energy levels, clearheadedness and a positive mindset.

When you’re meeting your nutrient needs, such as for key vitamins and minerals, and avoiding inflammatory foods or triggers, you should have more energy. Doing so can also promote a healthy immune system as well as healthy digestion. 

6. Help to support a less acidic and more alkaline state in the body

Our modern diets are overly acidic due to processed grains, conventional meats, sugars and unhealthy fats. When the diet is more acidic, it’s not optimal for the blood and bodily tissues, including the cells of the heart, blood, brain, nerves, muscles, bones, skin and hair. 

In fact, our body’s 100 trillion cells prefer a slightly alkaline state — and green foods are the alkalizing foods your body will love.

7. Support healthy digestion and overall gut health

A prominent part of any detox program are probiotics, for they help support absorption of other nutrients and offers many other digestive benefits. In fact, the Organic SuperGreens powders include a proprietary, clinically studied probiotic called Bacillus coagulans.

Not only can probiotics help support healthy bowel transit time and digestive function, but certain strains can also support healthy elimination and the body’s natural cleansing process.

8. Better adapt to stress and stay in balance

Organic SuperGreens contains the adaptogens ashwagandha, reishi, cordyceps and astragalus. These are superfoods that generally help your body adapt to stress and stay in balance. 

9. Supports cognitive health

Promoting a healthy immune system, a healthy response to inflammation and getting enough sleep all help to fuel healthy cognitive functions and an overall positive outlook. You can keep your outlook, motivation, and focus on track by supporting your gut and obtaining plenty of detoxifying foods and supplements. 

10. Can lead to better quality sleep 

Eating foods to promote a healthy response to Inflammation and to support gut health can promote the normal production of neurotransmitters and hormones that make you calm and sleepy. Sleeping soundly is easier when you’re feeling your best, focusing on your overall health may result in better sleep, too.

11. Promotes skin and hair health

Does your skin tell the tale when you off-road from your typical healthy diet, are super stressed out or not sleeping enough? Does it seem like your hair feels the impact, too?

That’s why it’s important to maintain proper nutrient levels through diet and maintain healthy lifestyle routines. Your appearance often mirrors your diet and lifestyle and can also benefit by supporting your liver and gut.

Best detox foods and drinks

In addition to eating a healthy diet, you can support detoxification naturally by cutting out added sugar, too much caffeine, alcohol, refined flour and trans fats.

Below are some of the best foods and drinks to help you detox:

1. Leafy greens

Loaded with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals, greens are among the best foods for nearly every system in your body. Leafy greens — such as kale, spinach and Swiss chard — are nutritional powerhouses because of their high antioxidant content.

2. High-fiber foods

High-fiber foods, including legumes, whole grains and cruciferous vegetables, are essential for cleansing the colon of toxins and supporting elimination, which is primarily how the body detoxes itself. These foods also supports a healthy gut microbiome, with a balanced and diverse gut microbiota.

3. Algae and sea vegetables

Sea veggies such as chlorella and spirulina give your healthy gut and immune system a boost by providing lots of nutrients, including vitamins B12, K, A C and E, plus calcium and potassium and antioxidants such as carotenoids and astaxanthin.

4. Berries and citrus fruits

As excellent sources of vitamins C and A plus antioxidants, berries and citrus fruits are great for promoting a healthy response to inflammation and boosting your fiber and phytonutrient intake. 

5. Herbs and spices

Turmeric, parsley, ginger, rosemary, cinnamon, and other herbs and spices contain powerful antioxidants known to support digestive, gut and overall metabolic health. Try adding these ingredients to plenty of your meals, including teas, smoothies, oats, soups and more.

6. Plenty of water

Be sure to stay hydrated to flush out waste from your system. How much water? Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day, ideally that’s been filtered.

Also consider lemon water as way to boost your detoxifying, for the citric acid may stimulate gastric production and help digestion, while also helping lower bloating and constipation

7. Detox drinks

Detoxifying drinks or wellness shots can help support the body’s natural detoxification process. Try a detox drink full of powerful ingredients can help support the body’s natural cleansing process.

Best Detox Supplements

1. Super greens

What are super greens? These are typically dietary supplements made from different types of greens that have usually been dried or dehydrated, then ground into powder. Super greens can be the most convenient way to boost your intake of veggies, grasses, berries and algae — and they can help support the body’s natural detoxification system, including the liver, colon, kidneys, lymphatic system and even the skin.

Full of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, Ancient Nutrition's Organic Supergreens are available in several easy-to-consume powders. Stir a scoop into water or another beverage daily to obtain vital nutrients. Organic Supergeens help support healthy energy levels, detoxification, healthy digestive function and healthy gut microflora.

Organic SuperGreens powder and tablets — several new Supergreens powders, Supergreen tablets and even Supergreens gummies now available — feature a variety of raw, organic green juices, as well as microalgae such as spirulina, berries and herbs. Probiotics are included in some to help promote absorption and digestion. These ingredients are considered “superfoods” because they are typically higher in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants.

2. Collagen-based detox powder

Ancient Nutrition's Multi Collagen Advanced supplement line features collagen from 10 food-based sources and includes Multi Collagen Advanced Detox Powder. It's powered by clinically studied ingredients and an ancient superfood blend to assist your body’s natural ability to detoxify.

It features organic reishi mycelium, fulvic acid mineral extract, organic fermented milk thistle seed, organic fermented burdock root, organic fermented dandelion root and organic apple cider vinegar.

Multi Collagen Advanced Detox Powder's benefits include supporting healthy detoxification, healthy liver function, a healthy immune system, and healthy fungal and microbial balance.

There's also Ancient Nutrition's Multi Collagen Advanced Longevity, which was developed to support healthy aging at the cellular level. It helps to sustain your body’s own ability to renew itself for vibrant skin and long-term well-being.

In addition, triphala, which supports overall gut and digestive health, features prominently in Longevity. Maintaining a healthy digestive system is critical for healthy aging because your gut plays a key role in nutrient absorption, healthy detox processes and a healthy immune system.

3. Probiotics

Probiotics are gut-friendly bacteria that help populate the gastrointestinal tract to support healthy digestion and immune system function. They promote healthy microbial balance while supporting a healthy immune system, nutrient absorption and elimination.

In particular, Ancient Nutrition's soil-based organism (SBO) probiotics support healthy digestive and immune system function and healthy bowel transit time.

4. Liver cleanse

Ancient Nutrition’s Liver Cleanse Capsules feature a blend of potent botanicals, including milk thistle seed, dandelion root, beet root and bupleurum root, along with reishi and lipase, to provide support for healthy detoxification, healthy liver function and a healthy response to inflammation.

Not only are these herbal liver cleanse capsules a simple way to obtain liver-supporting herbs, but they also provide adaptogens and enzymes to help with a generally healthy digestive system and response to stress. Adding these Liver Cleanse capsules to your daily routine can also help your body’s natural ability to break down and absorb nutrients.

Meanwhile, Ancient Nutrition's Regenerative Organic Certified® Liver Cleanse is designed to give you detox support. This formula delivers a powerful combination of Regenerative Organic Certified®mushrooms and herbs that can help transform your liver health.

5. Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is useful for supporting digestion and for providing alkalizing effects thanks to its low pH level.

Consuming apple cider vinegar daily offers detoxification support through helping promote a healthy microbial balance, supporting healthy weight management (combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, including regular exercise), supporting appetite control and supporting healthy oxidative stress levels.

Animal studies show that it can offer support for cardiovascular health, promote healthy antioxidant levels and may help promote healthy cellular energy. You may choose to use "ACV" in homemade detoxifying wellness shots.

6. Bone broth

As a great source of collagen protein, which helps support integrity of the gut lining, as well as nutrients including minerals, bone broth has historically been used to support a healthy immune system for centuries.

Consuming Ancient Nutrition's Bone Broth Protein daily can generally help contribute to gut, joint, skin and hair health while also supporting a healthy body weight, appetite control and maintenance of muscle mass. 

For example, try a cleansing, detox soup with chicken and bone broth.

Try a detox bundle

Ancient Nutrition's Detox Support Bundle includes many of the supplements mentioned above. You’ll find the following four supplements that can be taken daily:

• Multi Collagen Protein Powder

• Liver Cleanse Capsules
