What are purifying and draining supplements?
Purifying and draining supplements are products formulated to support the normal elimination of excess fluids from the body and promote the detoxifying functions of the liver and kidneys. They act primarily on the lymphatic and urinary systems, helping to reduce the feeling of bloating, water retention and to improve microcirculation. They are food supplements suitable both for athletes and for anyone who simply wants to feel lighter and healthier, especially during seasonal changes or as part of a weight management programme.
What are the main ingredients?
Purifying and draining supplements are based on herbal extracts with a long tradition in phytotherapy:
- Dandelion: rich in potassium and flavonoids, it supports physiological diuresis and normal liver function.
- Birch: leaf extract with draining and purifying properties, traditionally used to support urinary tract health.
- Artichoke: supports normal digestive function and liver drainage, especially useful after periods of dietary excess.
- Orthosiphon (Java tea): a plant known for its diuretic action, promoting the elimination of excess body fluids.
- Bromelain: a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple, used to support microcirculation and lymphatic drainage.
- Multi-herb formulas: synergistic complexes available in liquid, tablet or syrup form, often enriched with vitamins and minerals.
When and how should you take them?
Draining supplements are generally taken in the morning on an empty stomach or before meals, always accompanied by adequate hydration (at least 1.5–2 litres of water per day), which is essential for supporting their action. Recommended cycles typically range from 4 to 8 weeks, following the directions on the label. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before prolonged use. Remember: food supplements are not intended as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
