Many of us live in a toxic body, one that is bombarded daily by internal pollution via metabolic by-products, as well as external pollution, poor diets and sluggish elimination. The "normal" transit time for food through the entire digestive system is 24-36 hours. In fact, regular bowel movements should occur after every meal, as the colon is stimulated by the distention of the stomach. However, our diets and lifestyles override this natural process, and thus, a build up of toxins occurs. Heritage Detox acts to clean the colon, by combining a special blend of 18 herbs that are known to stimulate and detoxify the intestinal tract and therby cleanse the liver, kidneys and blood.

By sweeping the entire digestive system, Heritage Detox encourages timely elimination of waste products from the bowel. Science has shown that when the bowel is filled with sludge, the toxins back up into the blood, and are carried throughout the body to our organs and tissues.
