Summary

This pilot study will evaluate the effects of a Springtime Home Cleanse on skin, gut, metabolic, and mental health. The study will also assess changes in overall quality of life. The results will be used to design a larger cleanse-based study in the future.

Detailed description

Short-term dietary cleanses and other popular detoxification methods are thought to eliminate accumulated toxins from the body and subsequently, promote health and well-being. Although previous studies have reported improvements in weight loss, blood pressure and insulin resistance with these practices, there is not enough scientific evidence to corroborate these claims. Therefore, the objective of this pilot study is to determine the effects of a short-term dietary cleanse on various parameters of skin, gut, metabolic and mental health and evaluate the aforementioned health claims.
